Fact: 84% of the House districts Dems are on track to flip this year contain a Cracker Barrel, and just 59% are home to a Whole Foods.
By contrast, 67% of the districts Dems flipped in 2018 contained a Whole Foods, and just 56% were home to a Cracker Barrel.
SCOOP: @IBEW, whose members align with utilities, is endorsing the Senate's bipartisan permitting reform bill.
"The IBEW strongly supports BAAJA... that will unlock development across the energy industry," the union said in a statement shared with me
MOST INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE THAT ALL OF US YOUNG HUSTLERS NEED TO HEAR RIGHT NOW IN THE AGE OF AI !!!! 💥 🤖 💵

"The battle is not left and right. It's not Republican, Democrat. It is CENTRALIZATION versus DECENTRALIZATION. The technology is centralizing. The finance and central banking is centralizing.
YOUR job is to digitally resist and understand that owning your own data, owning your own AI, creating your own environment is actually the skill that people need into the future.
The only way you can win in this game today is you need to own more assets EVERY month. Which means you need to spend less than you earn and invest the difference.
Most people say no chance, my numbers just don't work. Well, I was that person. I was at one stage in the most severe debt, and all of my money was going on servicing debt and interest. One day I had to face it head-on and realize there's no substitute for this. I've got to pay myself and invest in some assets. That happened in 2011. The asset that I chose was Bitcoin when it was about $3. I'm not here to pitch Bitcoin. You have to own some gold, some assets, whatever it is for you. If you do that every month for the rest of your life, you'll be fine.
But they don't want you to know that. They want you thinking you got to get a 1,000X on a crypto scam tomorrow cuz the world's over. Everything's about short-termism. The way you defeat the system is by actually believing that there is a bright future for yourself, have confidence in yourself, recognize that the rules are actually quite simple.
Earn your income with the gift that you've got today. The gift that the boomers had was buy property, get a job. That doesn't exist anymore. You were born with a phone in your hand. That phone was a weapon that did severe psychological operations to you, but it also gave you the opportunity. I've got the best assistant with AI that I've ever had. This is both the worst and best time for people that are harnessing it.
You're going to defeat this by leaning into the productivity, BUILDING something using the tools available to you today, investing in decentralized stuff, building your own stuff, and helping other people do that.
You vote with your money. In terms of geopolitics and macro, I want to understand how they work, but I'm not going to change them. I'm not going to stop the control grid. I'm not going to stop the FIC (Financial Industrial Complex) from building multipolarity. In the end, what do you control? You control YOURSELF. Your mind, what you consume. Your spiritual connection, your soul. Your health. Your relationships with your family. Your home. Your community.
Don't see the world better than it is or worse than it is. Just see it as it is. Try and deprogram yourself. Whatever they're trying to algorithmically get you to do is probably the opposite.
Become RADICALLY optimistic about what you as an individual can achieve. Become realistic about the world as it is. Accept the world as it is and lean into it. Own more assets every single month, and believe that you're building something and there is a bright future. We're moving into so much uncertainty, but it's kind of exciting at the same time as petrifying."

Couldn’t have put it better myself, but to sum it up in my own words. Us young people in online biz We have the greatest opportunity. asalways, we gotta stay locked in on our health mindset and businesses and forget about all the media that is about doom because we literally can’t control it but what we can control is what’s in front of us, so let’s fucking crush.. personally I’ve always been a super optimist and continue to still be. . But of course, it’s natural There’s going to be lots of fear because fear - of the unknown is the most natural animal instinct, and no one is quite sure the implications of Ai.. but it’s The most goddamn exciting time ever.
People tend to confuse situations where confidence has an impact on the result with situations where it doesn't.
Confidence or doubt in a player has a massive effect on results because it alters the practical quality of their actions and play. Same with a speaker on stage, a coach, a CEO, a doctor, or a salesperson.
But if I'm walking on ice, confidence has no affect on the result because confidence or doubt doesn't affect the thickness of the ice. It only affects the binary choice of whether I choose to walk on it, not any practical quality of my actions in the process.
Ice is thick enough to hold my weight or it isn't, regardless of my confidence or doubt. There is no association between them. My level of confidence can't influence the ice.
But if I'm your teammate, my confidence is contagious and can influence your confidence, our team's play, our coach's trust, and our results.
How much sense does this make?
This makes no sense. If Kennedy leaves, who would replace him? Probably an industry insider who is committed to serving Big Chem and Big Pharma while further cutting SNAP.
As Democrats, we risk squandering Tuesday’s gains if we let righteous indignation become our governing strategy. We should be using this moment to find creative ways to improve people’s lives and expand the coalition.
While we can certainly disagree with Kennedy on some issues at HHS, there's a ton of common ground right now: healthier food and school meals, soil health, reduced pesticide exposure, clean water, action on PFAS, microplastics, harmful food additives. Recently, 200 MAHA activists and leaders made the case for solar and geothermal on children’s health grounds.
Why wouldn’t we work together to see what wins we can get? Since the opponents of most of these policies are within the Republican Party, Democrats can get a lot of credit for successful partnership with MAHA. The name of the game right now should be expanding the coalition. We should be squarely focused on winning back a constituency that wants healthy food, toxic chemical reduction, and other progressive priorities. Saying "end of discussion” closes the conversation at precisely the moment we should be opening it.
Independent voters powered President Trump’s comeback victory in 2024.
Last night, they voted to hold him accountable after two years of disappointment.
First goal of new Congress: Build Trust!
HR 1: Ban stock trading by Members of Congress and Executive branch officials.
HR 2: End war and get gas prices down immediately to show immediate impact on people’s pocketbooks.
Then get into the more complicated shit. IMHO
And a special congrats to @amyactonoh, @SherrodBrown, @Russo4Ohio and all the baller candidates in Ohio that just showed America that Ohio is still America’s bellwether. Great work.
This is all so good. The American people have sent a clear and decisive message that they want the corruption to end and bold and aggressive reforms. Congrats to all the candidates, their families and all the volunteers and campaign workers. Job well done!
The youngest voters show the biggest Democratic gains in early CNN House estimates.
For Democrats, the job now is to turn support into trust.
Listen hard. Make life more affordable. Expand opportunity. Take on corruption. Keep your promises.
Let me be very, very clear here. I reposted the CNN clip bc @peterhamby made me spit out my coffee wh he said @VivekGRamaswamy didn’t know the difference bt Pete Rose and Joe Burrow. So I quickly reposted not even noticing anything else he said. We will be voting for @amyactonoh and you should to. Vivek’s campaign is repugnant in every way. Amy has the character and moral leadership decent Ohioans deserve.
Let’s go Ohio! Decency is on the ballot. Integrity is on the ballot. Let’s show the country that when push comes to shove we vote for the values that transcend political parties.
Good morning! It's Election Day in Ohio, and I'll be tracking/mapping voter turnout throughout the day!
Check out my live turnout trackers/maps below.
Early votes only: https://t.co/3DA4r8X4CD
Election day votes only: https://t.co/OvVtS08YLS
All votes: https://t.co/4df7oUEETP
For the first time in 30 years of the @NBCNews poll More voters say they're dissatisfied (51%) with their personal financial situation than satisfied (49%)
Even during the Great Recession, more voters were satisfied than dissatisfied.
In our @WSJ poll 60% of voters say that Trump's economic policies have made the economy worse.
That is the bad mood voters go into tomorrow'e election and Pessimism kills the party in power.

🚨 TOLEDO: DON’T BURN LEAVES 🔥🍁
Do not burn your leaves or branches! As we continue to understand the GMA leak from October 20th - we see a complex exposure scenario.
🚩A chemical residue does appear to have precipitated from the GMA vapor.
🚩If you burn leaves, branches or other contaminated materials - the chemical reaction could produce MORE toxic chemicals and fumes. So please refrain from burning leaves & other materials that have been outside - as this could increase your exposure to toxic chemicals.
If you handle leaves or other contaminated materials use gloves, wear a mask and dispose of them with care. GMA is water soluble so relocating them to another area could also spread the GMA. More info soon - but this weekend start by not burning leaves or branches in Halloween fires or as a disposal method.
In @FT, our Co-Chair, former Rep. @TimRyan, discusses the growing shift among Democrats toward a more pragmatic energy strategy, including Texas U.S. Senate candidate @jamestalarico.
