Thank you for this empathetic and informed evaluation of this work @jessradio I hope we can continue to work together to develop and further refine the assumptions and delve into the data needed to explore them. Next (I hope): DFV and employment.

[Jess Hill @jessradio]

I wanted to sit for a while with this epic report by @SummersAnne, to give it the consideration it deserves. This data (though incomplete in fundamental ways) should prompt a radical shift in the way we respond to family violence *and* gender inequality. https://t.co/cIyJ8INM6r

Ossof has an ability to explain the "corruption of Trump, Witkoff, Kushner" in a way millions can grasp. A huge talent. A real communicator. All parties deny the alleged corruption.

Listen to this clip of Mamdani. The Democrats are going to run on this exact populist narrative and win the presidency by a double digit margin in two years.

It's an effective narrative, it's the right narrative and Trump handed it to them.

[News to Remember @allchronology]

This was Scott Colom's last political ad before the Tuesday election in Mississippi. It shows why he should win the race for Senator. No name calling. Just a rendition of history that shouldn't be forgotten and the reason to vote.

@JaneCaro These hospitals cannot receive public funding while they maintain these anti- women policies.

Anna Funder talks to me about my new book. Do come along if you can. https://t.co/EqP8E5npH6

What a cell-fie. The Tate brothers are behind bars, Russell Brand has been found guilty of 1 count of rape & 3 counts of sexual assault & the UK's mystery celebrity sexual predator has lost his bid for a press injunction. Surely it's time for Lady Justice to play her Trump card.

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:

- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.

- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.

- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.

- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.

- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.

- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.

- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.

- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.

- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.

I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.

Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

Omg will you look at these two ❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣

Thinking right now about Stacey Abrams, who sat me down ten looooong years ago to explain her state's political future. https://t.co/j97FHANhyG

[Atlanta Journal-Constitution @ajc]

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.

More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.

Milwaukee’s Archbishop Grob: “I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way. We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House. I did not go without reservations. I wish I had heeded them. Please know that I have heard these concerns, understand how I caused them, and I apologize for any damage my actions have done.” https://t.co/eFlvc62CGX

@Kate_McClymont @JaneCaro So sorry to hear this news Jenny but glad your prognosis is optimistic. Thanks for a wonderful piece of writing and for sharing this terrifying experience with us all.

[Anne Summers @SummersAnne]

She’s so right.
