- Some notes regarding the remaining ballots in the #NJ11 Democratic primary: - @analiliafornj.bsky.social currently leads @tommalinowski.bsky.social by 486 votes. - The AP estimates that approximately 6,000 ballots are yet to be counted.
- This might be the first time I've seen a candidate post the famous Dewey Defeats Truman photo on social media.
- NewsNation (which uses DDHQ for election coverage) bragged about being the first to project that Warnock had won the 2022 GA-Sen runoff. They were right that time, but, as last night's NJ-11 Dem primary proves, that isn't always the case. Being first doesn't necessarily equal being right.
- For the first time I can recall, there's a sleet delay at a NASCAR race. #ClashAtBowmanGray
- It's worth noting that Bezos is practicing asset stripping at The Washington Post and not at anything else under Bezos ownership/control or under the Amazon umbrella (Amazon, Kindle, MGM, Blue Origin, etc.).

- Asset stripping has never made a business more successful.
- The anti-intellectualism mindset that is rampant among media oligarchs is killing the entire mainstream media in this country.
- Reposted by Aaron Apollo CampAnd they always follow up decimating the newsroom with some claim that they want to be "more competitive" which is sort of like saying you want to win the football game by getting rid of all the defensive tackles.

- As someone who is neurodivergent like Aliya, thank you, @yassaminansari.bsky.social, for being exceptionally respectful towards Aliya Rahman during her testimony to Congress. www.instagram.com/reel/DUUa7MZ... Federal agents should have never brutalized Aliya.

- Dr. Oz is absolutely evil. He's openly targeted the Armenian-American community, and he's also trying to shove AI medical quackery down our throats.

- HOWDY DOODY, TARRANT COUNTY!!! Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet WINS Texas State Senate District 9 special election in a monumental victory for Texas Democrats!
- The R candidate has apparently conceded, so that's a flip folks. Probably a 30-point swing vs 2024 per The Downballot, could be 35 vs the 2022 election in the seat docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

- This would be a massive Democratic victory if this result holds. The only hope for Republicans is if the remaining Election Day vote is disproportionately Republican-leaning.
- Reposted by Aaron Apollo CampThis is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.
- Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
- #TXSD9 UPDATE: Taylor Rehmet (Democratic nominee) won the first batch of election day vote and expanded his overall lead to a little over 6,200 votes with around 50,000 or so votes to be counted! This could be an absolute disaster for the Texas GOP.
- Taylor Rehmet (D) retained 91% of his early vote from November in tonight's runoff. Leigh Wambsganss (R) retained only 56% (!!!) of the combined Republican early vote from November in tonight's runoff. Now, we await the Election Day vote in #TXSD9
- Hopefully, we'll get an update on the TX-SD-9 special runoff election within the next 15 minutes or so if @taniel.bsky.social is accurate.
- It's been one hour and twenty minutes since the polls closed in TX-SD-9 (entirely within Tarrant County and contains the northern part of the county). Zero election day votes have been reported so far. I'm not sure why Tarrant County is slow about getting Election Day votes counted.

- Reposted by Aaron Apollo CampSo for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago? From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this. And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.
- Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...
- If you're not following @erinmayequade.bsky.social on Bluesky, you should! She has been an amazing and fearless voice in the Minnesota resistance against the Trump Administration!

- Greg Bovino is a disgrace to humanity. However, that doesn't change the fact that the Trump Administration is full of people who are a disgrace to humanity, including, but definitely not limited to, Trump himself.

- Reposted by Aaron Apollo CampMLK: "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period...was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people" The "appalling silence of the good people" has long inspired me to speak out. We need more of that today!
