Some of you have been predicting Cranberry->Blueberry for years so maybe won't be shocked to see Butler gaining Dems hand over fist. But Westmoreland? Mercer? Carbon??
No kings. No crowns. No surrender in defending our democracy.

Trump+32 in '24, so roughly a ~17 pt overperformance by Dems tonight. Strong showing for them, but as Altoona likes to remind everyone, not quite enough.
Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity put $45 million in taxpayer money into Israel Bonds. The firm invited her to a thank you gala with other investors, but she attended for political purposes. She paid for the event with campaign funds; still, ethics experts have questions.
With Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro looking effectively untouchable in his reelection bid, his race shifts from Likely to Solid Democrat.

Voters sent a message last night: Dems are ready to win.
-2.4M Texans cast ballots in the Democratic primary, the most since 2008.
-In NC, Democratic turnout was nearly 50% higher than Republican turnout.
-Democrats have now flipped 27 state leg seats since Trump retook office.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
AS MANY PEOPLE KNOW, I AM A TREMENDOUS LOVER OF “THE SPANISH.” IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY MANY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE WORLD. I AM ALSO A HUGE FAN OF PUERRRRRRRTO RICO. THAT IS WHY I AM DECLARING TOMORROW IN CALIFORNIA AS “BAD BUNNY DAY” WHEN BAD BUNNY PERFORMS AT THE BIG GAME IN THE GOLDEN STATE WITH HIS SOOTHING, BEAUTIFUL VOICE, AND HIS VERY NICE LOOKS. MANY PEOPLE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM ACCORDING TO MY “GUYS” AND “GALS!” (JESSE WATTERS IS OBSESSED WITH HIM ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE IS WITH ME!). WE LOVE BAD BUNNY! HE IS NEARLY AS “HOT” AS ME, WHICH IS A BIG COMPLIMENT, BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY “HOTTER.” HAPPY BAD BUNNY DAY, AMERICA. ENJOY!!! —GOVERNOR GCN
New: As Josh Shapiro calls for ICE to leave Minneapolis, his GOP challenger Stacy Garrity wants Minnesotans — and Pennsylvanians — to cooperate with ICE

Attorney for my colleague and friend Don Lemon has released a statement saying Don was arrested by federal agents in LA last night. This is outrageous and cannot stand. The First Amendment is under attack in America!
INBOX: State Rep. Seth Grove (R., York), has resigned. He did not give a reason. A wonky conservative known for shepherding a failed election law push in 2021, he had taken a side job as head of the state's concrete trade association while still sitting in office.
Gov. Josh Shapiro went on MS Now and said he would charge Alex Pretti's killer based on the publicly available video with voluntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice and possible conspiracy charges against the federal government.

BREAKING: Immediately after calling for Kristi Noem’s resignation, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown liquid by a man who charged the stage during a town hall in Minneapolis.
The suspect was quickly subdued by the crowd.
Omar immediately demanded the event continue and she’s now back at the podium speaking. This is unacceptable political violence.
In Minneapolis, I caught up with my friend, AG @keithellison, who is leading the charge to hold ICE accountable in the courts and bring justice to Minnesotans.
Different year. Same cruelty.
This is Trump’s America.
When power is built on fear and dehumanization, suffering becomes policy and violence becomes routine.
We have seen this before. History has shown us exactly where it leads. #NeverForget#vote
This is so weak. McCormick baselessly blames Minnesota leaders but can’t find the courage to criticize ICE, who actually shot Alex Pretti.
ICE did the killing, not anyone else. Shifting blame is purely partisan here.
