We need to stop selling weaponry to foreign governments that use it to do the worst things, including genocide and apartheid and war. npr.org/2026/11/04/nx-s1-602…

this is the tweet of the year right?
NYT says Jensen Huang had a relationship Nvidia's vice president of health care. nytimes.com/2026/11/11/techn…

Remembering when Cindy Hyde-Smith joked in 2018 about attending “a public hanging”
At the time, she was running against Dem Mike Espy, who was Black
Today, Hyde-Smith was defeated Scott Colom, who is set to be the 1st Black senator for Mississippi since the Reconstruction era

The co-host of the popular ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast returns to WNK for a midterms victory lap – and offers her opinion on whether the Democratic Party needs new leadership. f.mtr.cool/q656xc55lq

Not long ago, we were told that New York was shifting right as part of a national MAGA realignment. Not long after, we were told that Zohran’s election would polarize the state against progressivism and Democrats.

As you witness the stunning the victory laps by the political savants @jonathanchait, @mattyglesias and @Jonathan_Cowan, remember this was their advice throughout this cycle:

From the Rafah border crossing, Lewis Hamilton is pulling no punches on Israel's cruel siege regime.

Yep.
Massive electoral overpeformers like James Talarico ran as far away from Bernie’s message as possible — lambasting a rigged economic system that makes it impossible for working people to get by, calling out the greed of billionaires and advocating raising their taxes, focusing on a top-versus-bottom vs. left-versus-right division, raising the minimum wage, getting big money out of politics…
HEY WAIT A MINUTE
If the election was a test of whether Americans like Sanders’s message more or less than the standard Democratic message, the answer was clear: They like it less. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

.@DaniellaMicaela reports: Ocasio-Cortez has begun bulking up her political operation. She recently hired Freeland Ellis, who previously worked for Sen. Bernie Sanders, to help manage communications.

My data shows that 78.1% of Democratic Senate candidates in 2026 attacked billionaires, compared to 18.8% in 2024 — a major shift towards economic populism in just over two years
@mattyglesias responds by trying to change the subject, instead of acknowledging these facts, which challenge his narrative about good "moderates" vs underperforming "progressives"
This is so asinine — of course moderate Democrats run on some progressive issue positions, that’s why they’re Democrats!
The difference is that moderate Democrats have a mix of views rather than uniformly progressive ones.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

PROJECTION: Scott Colom defeats Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a historic upset in Mississippi, which Trump won by 23 points in 2024. The state’s last Black Senator was born a slave, and its last Democratic senator was a segregationist.

we tested this last year — the establishment democratic message added three points to the dem margin, the bernie-style economic populist message added 12

“AOC should run for president because her marginal utility in the House is very reduced. She’d be a slight optimizer in the Senate, but she could be a game changer for the entire country if she ran for and won the presidency,” @AdamGreen, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, told The Sun.
“My analogy is moving a queen to the center of the chessboard. It’s a power play. Your queen might be taken. Maybe she will lose the primary. But also, you’re putting yourself in a position to win.”

Should the US send more military aid to Israel in Gaza?
-32 points (-57 with Dems, -39 with independents)
Is Israel is committing genocide in Gaza?
+15 (+66 with Dems, +17 with independents )
These are not controversial positions. I don’t know why people keep lying about it.

The page lists out what the Democratic majority would do "if it were up to Ayanna Pressley" —>
– Medicare for All
– National abortion protections
– Stopping data centers
– Abolishing ICE
Do you agree? We need to show that this agenda has strong support. Sign our petition at ayannapressley.com/agenda

Go step in the shower, turn only the cold tap, and soak yourself fully clothed. Then, if you’re in an area where it’s about 55°F/13°C, go outside.
This is what families, displaced and unsheltered due to Israeli bombing and aid restrictions, are enduring in Gaza following floods.
