"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President," writes @SenWarren https://t.co/LPOxsdxzf4
"We now have a rapidly closing window to confirm well-qualified, fair-minded judges who will protect our rights and serve as one of the last guardrails in upholding our nation's laws and the Constitution." https://t.co/gL4evDnvns
In case you missed it: Mayor Jacob Frey gives Jacob Frey an award for finding a way to avert the catastrophic cuts to North Commons Park threatened by Jacob Frey.
In our post-election survey of more than 12,000 progressives — 76% said they believe the Democratic Party has lost its way, and 91% believe the Party has long neglected the multiracial working class.
85% told us they’re feeling Angry, Sad, and Depressed, and the rest said they're Shocked or Confused about Tuesday's election result.
While some ranked misogyny, racism, and xenophobia as factors in the election, many pointed to the neglect of working people, the failure of the Democratic Party, the late switch from Biden to Harris, and the campaign’s misguided focus on Cheney Republicans and celebrities.
Black Americans in Minnesota and other states woke up to a text message telling them to go to "the nearest plantation" to pick cotton.

It’s time for the Democratic Party to take stock and heed the warnings that progressives and working class Americans have been raising for years.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sen. @BernieSanders said the morning after the election.
“First it was the white working class, and now it’s Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic Party leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
“In the coming months, those of us concerned with grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious discussions. Stay tuned,” Bernie said.
The smile when you just spoke to a Trump voter about their climate anxiety, and now they're voting for Harris.
@KamalaHQ we've said it many times, and now we're hearing it at the doors — climate action is a winning message in PA.

I'm excited to announce I'm running for re-election!
Four years ago, I first ran for City Council with a vision to bring our movements into City Hall. As an organizer, I saw firsthand the work our communities were doing to advocate for each other.
In three months, three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump.
Democracy is not billionaires buying elections. That’s Oligarchy.
We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections.
