CNN: 11 Democrats missed Hegseth’s impeachment vote
OJEDA: I say shame on them for not showing up. They had an opportunity to finally get rid of this buffoonery that we have and they failed. So you know what? I think the 120th Congress, we'll take that up.
Some road work is easy to see.
A new lane. A smoother surface. A bridge repair.
Some of it shows up in what doesn’t happen: the crash avoided, the safer merge, the curve that’s easier to see at night, the backup that doesn’t turn dangerous.
That’s the real value of road funding. It helps get people home. Maintain the Miracle! https://t.co/BJF1kFfPcK
Today, on Remembrance Day, we pause to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice and service of those who served and those who continue to serve.
We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the importance of carrying their stories forward.
Lest we forget. ❤️

Racism Is Alive and Well in Mississippi: They're Trying to Steal a Senate Seat From a Black Man
This is naked voter suppression dressed up as "election integrity." Thousands of Mississippians are being screwed out of their votes right now because the state's Republican secretary of state deliberately used sloppy commercial credit data to purge the rolls — and the mess is landing hardest in a race where a Black Democrat is beating a Republican incumbent.
Scott Colom is narrowly ahead of Cindy Hyde-Smith. That lead is under attack because large numbers of voters were forced onto provisional (affidavit) ballots after their names vanished from the poll books. Both campaigns admit thousands of people were hit. CNN has the receipts.
Andrew Couch is one of the casualties. He'd voted at the same polling place in the last two elections without a problem. On Election Day he was told he was registered in a county he hadn’t lived in for six years. On Monday he was informed his ballot is dead. His reaction: "I'm very upset. If people lose faith in the process… it's going to hurt voter turnout in the future." That's the point.
Secretary of State Michael Watson signed off on using Experian credit data to flag "moved" voters. The result: more than 230,000 people — roughly 1 in 9 registered voters statewide — were dumped into inactive status and left off the poll books before Election Day (Mississippi Today). In a state where over 9 percent of residents are unbanked, this data was always going to be garbage. Experian itself has run away from the whole thing, telling CNN its product "was not designed or intended to validate voter records" and that it stopped working with the state in early 2025.
This isn’t some innocent clerical error. It's the same old Mississippi playbook: make it harder for certain people to vote when the outcome looks like it might go the wrong way. A Black man is on the verge of winning a Senate seat the state hasn't handed to a Democrat in decades, and suddenly the rolls are a disaster. This is Republican racism in action.
Democrat Chuck Hubbard has increased his lead over incumbent House Republican Virginia Foxx in North Carolina from 99 votes to 325 votes.
Let’s go, Chuck!

@donwinslow@hakeemjeffries Rep Gillen said she was stuck behind a "Police Escort" of some kind, but why was anybody still on the road to the Congress with such an Important Vote Scheduled? Inquiry, Please!
Pete Hegseth’s press conference is going about how you expected it…
He’s screeching that President Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wasn’t impeached over the “Chinese spy balloon” and regurgitating the tired line of “peace through strength” about his and Donald Trump’s disastrous war in Iran.
