It’s outrageously funny that Columbia is forced to congratulate @DarializaforNY for her victory
🗳️ Congratulations to the Columbians elected in the 2026 midterm elections! news.columbia.edu/news/colum…
Six Columbians are headed to Washington, D.C., as members of the 120th United States Congress, and at least two will serve as their state's attorney general.

Ever see someone on the train you lost touch with years ago but you consciously avoid them instead of saying hi and reconnecting because you don’t have time to deal with all that today

its not lost on me that there're always plenty of absentees when its time to do the bidding of the masses, but can you imagine a world where hakeem failed to whip votes for a funding bill for israel?!?!

Union busting is disgusting. Shame on Schneps Media.
The Schneps Union accused bosses of retaliating against a staffer who had been prominent in efforts to organize New York’s biggest chain of local newspapers.

My favorite thing about Westlaw is how it takes 4 minutes for every page to load after you sign in, but if you step away for 30 seconds you have to sign in all over again.

There is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that shows that spanking harms kids.
If you support spanking or hitting kids you are not just a morally awful person but anti-science and the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer or climate change denier.
.@AJentleson: “i think this is yet another teachable moment for lefties on twitter to engage in some introspection and realize that they are not the average voter! they may think spanking is wrong, but three-quarters of americans don’t” including half of Dems. [he cites below]

This Hegseth vote opened at 5:30 pm. Some members have cited traffic produced by some incident near the Capitol as the reason they missed it, but @JulianAndreone was there at the time and saw nothing impeding traffic.
Interestingly, the PAC Elect Democratic Women (EDW) was having a “new member reception” from 4:30-6:30 pm.
If you followed the primaries closely, you know EDW’s offshoot, EDW Action Fund, served as one of the major pass-throughs for AIPAC money, so it’s a very important organization.
If you were at this reception and saw any truant members of Congress, signal is in bio for me and Julian.
The 11 House Democrats who didn’t vote in the effort to kill the Hegseth impeachment resolution (which succeeded 210-204) were:
Brownley
Correa
Hollen
Hosford
Jackson (IL)
Pelosi
Pettersen
Stansbury
Stevens
Strickland
Wilson (FL)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jake Tappers' tweet contains errors.
Vote was 211-204 (Roll Call 317), not 210-204.
Absent Dems: Brownley, Correa, Gillen (NY; not Hollen), Horsford (NV; not Hosford), Jackson (IL), Pelosi, Pettersen, Stansbury, Stevens, Strickland, Wilson (FL).

This dunk doesn’t really work when a bunch of House Dems got their asses kicked by @DemSocialists this year

Rep.-Elect Chevalier: I really do support a pathway to citizenship for all people. I think that’s the only way to have a dignified immigration system.
I always have questions about how we’re doing that to make sure it’s actually dignified for immigrant communities. As someone who grew up as the daughter of immigrants and grew up watching my parents navigate the system, I always want to make sure that it is supportive to people of all socioeconomic classes, all national origins, and that we’re making sure we have true dignity for all in our immigration system.
Liberal Zionists cannot accept that an Arab-majority bloc is holding the full weight of Israeli democracy on its shoulders because doing so would complicate their narrative that democracy would die if Israel allowed '48 Palestinians to return and become citizens.
It's me, a person who was born yesterday. I wonder how poll workers in Mississippi decide which voters to conveniently "forget" to sign their initials for?

Mayor Zohran Mamdani officially signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law today.
The bill gives tenants, land trusts, and other vetted community organizations the first right to buy eligible buildings — and thus to decommodify their housing.

Van Hollen:
“We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. [They] sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates, and my strong view is only under very, very rare exceptions should the DSCC be weighing in.”
Everyone from Bernie's 2020 campaign is awful Exhibit #759
