If you're an Ohio Republican you must think of Sherrod as a slasher villain. Just mowing through your bench every six years, and even if you beat him he'll just return in a reboot

Democrats won this election by claiming we are on the side of working people, and working people are counting on us to deliver.

Reminder that Democrats never win by convincing Republicans to vote for them, they win by convincing people who aren’t usually politically active to get politically active.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

This is literally a VEEP plotline. Like I'm not even kidding. This nearly, bar for bar, the a B-plot from the VEEP episode "New Hampshire" (S3, E10).

Fun fact: not only is @PulidoForTexas the biggest overperformer of the cycle, he’s also going for his THIRD Latin Grammy next week 🤠
@PulidoForTexas pulled off a 43 point swing, the biggest of any Republican-held seat in the country

Contractor who turned a warehouse into an illegal ICE detention facility:
"Stephen Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted ... He wanted it to be cruel."

Per this @zeteo_news story: Stephen Miller has privately told confidants he's afraid liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power, and file lawsuits against him for years.
Trump's elevation of him is a challenge: is Democratic leadership about it, or not?
🚨 Stephen Miller — now the new WH Chief of Staff — has repeatedly pushed to target a list of enemies, like Hasan Piker.
+ He's pushing for a network of "camps" to detain untold numbers of immigrants, indefinitely — ones too hard for a future admin to undo.zeteo.com/p/stephen-miller-t…

Maybe something national reporters should have gotten curious about during the election!

Last year, Third Way tried to call Mamdani an underperformer who should be dismissed.
1) Today, every single Democrat is running on his affordability message.
2) Populists like him have been elected everywhere.
3) He's one of the most popular politicians in the country.

"I refuse to accept that my daughters will grow up with artificial friends and teachers" is the most human rather than technocratic line I've heard from a politician on AI and I am so here for it.

In retrospect, “Pick another protein? I’d rather pick another senator” is probably the most impactful ad of the cycle.

a reporter posting an AI-generated image of a political event that they're covering would get them insta-fired from almost every outlet. *Almost* every outlet.
Gonna guess that does not apply to the publication that did a glowing profile of AI actress Tilly Norwood.
this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

Hey @TheFP -- why are you still employing Olivia Reingold after she posted an AI generated photo and claimed it was from the El-Sayed election night party? At any real outlet she would be fired in a heartbeat.

Free Press reporter @Olivia_Reingold misreported her own fake AI image. Paramount paid $150 million for this.

Same “reporter” who wrote about Palestinian children starved by Israel without even trying to contact a single one of them or their families. Said she reported on 12 cases and if you count them, she didn’t even do 12. Sloppiest reporter currently employed anywhere is @Olivia_Reingold
