@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I emailed both my senators today to tell them I would not be happy with Schumer. We need new leaders who are all-in on real progress, such as passing the Medicare For All Act, in addition to ensuring accountability (not just lip-service performative hearings) for the rampant corruption and brutality of the current regime. Neither Schumer nor Jeffries is up to the task, and my senators and rep heard about it from me today. #USPol #USPolitics

If you spend $200K each on ads that never mention crypto for 9 candidates who were guaranteed to win, and $64M on one competitive race which your candidate loses, you don’t get to claim your “90% win rate” proves Americans support your industry’s political goals. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

Ol’ DeathSantis is NOT pulling any punches describing how bad this election was for the GOP. #uspol #uspolitics

Ron DeSantis: "Let's just be clear about what happened last night. This is as close to an extinction-level event for Republicans in many parts of the country probably as we have seen in the last 100 years ... if the Republican Party doesn't have Texas an anchor, we're not going to be viable nationally"

There's a really un-generous interpretation of the Texas election results where Texans are willing to completely undermine the rights of women, people of color, and LGBT+ people, but they absolutely cannot tolerate diesel hitting $6 a gallon. Personally, I choose to think the election results are due to Texans who thought their votes didn't matter in such a red state coming out of the woodwork because they were fed up with fascists. :AntiNazi:#USElections #USPolitics

Following this win, Garcia will become Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, where he has vowed to take on the Trump Crime Family, corporate corruption, DHS and ICE abuses, and the cover-up of the Epstein files. His statement can be found below. "Lawyer up." #democracy #bluetsunami #democrats #USPolitics #uspol

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown. https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-results/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #AI #artificialIntelligence #USpol #USpolitics #midterms

Back in May Virginia Foxx made news when she replied to a letter from a 10 year old boy asking her to help bring more electric cars to the road here in #NorthCarolina she responded by blaming the boy and his teachers for “indoctrination” of him and his classmates and called him “sad”. She’s been in power here for 22 years. The GOP keeps gerrymandering her district to keep her seat safe. She’s literally stood beside Trump as he signs hateful EO and laws. I hope and pray she loses. #USPolitics
