Yes, as Dallas Country - her base and typically responsible for like 20% of votes in the state - has not been tallied due to Republican fuckery at the county and state Supreme Court level.

Once all the votes are counted, she'll concede

She doesn’t have the numbers needed to win unfortunately

This maneuver highlights growing intra-party divisions, with moderates breaking from leadership on a key election-year issue.

Several GOP members have signed on, but the petition needs 218 signatures to force a floor vote, a high bar not yet met.

House GOP leadership, including Speaker Mike Johnson, has resisted bringing the extension forward, focusing instead on other health-care bills without the ACA subsidy extension.

🚨Moderate Republicans led by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) filed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies expiring Dec 31, bypassing Speaker Johnson. It needs 218 signatures, and moderates + Democrats are signing on. Letting subsidies lapse could raise premiums for millions.

Graphic reading “Rep. Cory Mills Accused of Fabricating Life Story” with subtext summarizing allegations that he lied about his background, finances, and illegally exported weapons while serving on key congressional committees. Bold red and black political-news theme typical for Capitol Politics.

🚨 GOP REP CALLED A “FRAUD” BY HIS OWN COLLEAGUES
New reporting shows Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) allegedly lied about his background and exported weapons illegally all while serving on Armed Services & Foreign Affairs.

Republicans are now openly asking whether Mills should be kicked out of Congress.

Kids Online Safety Act (S. 1748) — full bill text: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The House Energy & Commerce Committee just unveiled a new draft of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) along with 18 other bills aimed at protecting kids and teens online.

This could mark the biggest push on online child safety in decades. Do you trust Congress to regulate Big Tech on child safety?

🚨 Congress is quietly gearing up for one of the biggest tech fights in years: a new Children’s Online Safety package just dropped, including an updated KOSA bill and 18 other proposals targeting Big Tech’s treatment of kids.

Congress plans hearings on this package on December 2.

Attorneys general from 35 states and the District of Columbia, representing both Republican and Democratic parties, urged congressional leaders on Tuesday to avoid blocking state-level AI laws, cautioning that leaving the technology unregulated could lead to “disastrous consequences.”

A graphic with the headline "CONGRESS IS WEIGHING FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT WOULD OVERRIDE STATE-LEVEL AI REGULATIONS." The text explains that the proposed law would create a single national standard for at least five years to avoid a patchwork of conflicting state laws. Supporters argue this would give businesses clarity and prevent inconsistent or burdensome state requirements. The words "CAPITOL," "Politics," and "CONGRESS" are also prominently displayed.

🚨 NEW: Congress is quietly advancing a major AI regulation package that could reshape how the technology is used in elections, policing, and federal agencies.
The bill is moving through committee at unusual speed, with limited public hearings and growing concerns about transparency.
