Scott Colom calls out Chuck Schumer for taking credit for his win
"It's not accurate to say he recruited me. The people of Mississippi recruited me. You think I would listen to somebody who lives in Brooklyn?"
House Republicans blocked articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth with a 211-204 vote. 11 Democrats were absent for the vote, which could have turned the tide. If you’re pissed, you have to call your reps. Voting was a great first step; now we need to know our leaders will show up for us.

Thank you, New Mexico! It is the honor of my lifetime to be elected your 33rd Governor.
Tonight, you made history. You chose a future where New Mexico comes first, where working families have a chance to get ahead, and where every New Mexican has a voice.
I know the challenges ahead are real. But I also know that New Mexicans have never backed down from a fight — and we are going to tackle these challenges together.
Whether you voted for me or not, I will always be your Governor, too. Because this campaign was about all of us, and the future we deserve.
Let’s keep New Mexico, New Mexico. Let’s build a brighter future for our families. And let’s get to work.
Trump ignored the needs of the American people and did the exact opposite of what he campaigned on. Tonight is a rejection of him, his policies, and the Republicans in Congress who did nothing but enable him.
Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.
For the first time in US history, a gay man, a Black woman, a Muslim, Native American woman, Palestinian, and Latina have won their respective midterm elections.
Over 50 DSA victories tonight prove socialism can win in the U.S.
Workers deserve more and a reality where all of us live with dignity and hope is closer than we think.
The job's not done, though. Tomorrow, we continue organizing, fighting, and winning for the working class!

Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.
