*taps papers on an empty desk*
Well, it’s about time for me to get out of here. For over a decade there was a fantastic community here. I met some fantastic people, I will miss you all, and what the platform was. Thank you for putting up with my nonsense, my typos, all of it. ❤️
@JeffnRoundRock I don’t love Threads, in part because I hate FB, but also the timeline feels like it goes from current to three days ago, back to current. I’ll give it more of a look, but I’ll probably be more at BS.
I imagine I’ll be mostly on BS (in more ways than one), I need to fix my relationship with IG and by extension Threads. And I wrote up something late last night about the election that I should have up on medium later today.
Dems holding this seat would be incredible. Porter getting elected in the first place was a huge upset so the assumption was when she left this was supposed to be an automatic GOP pickup.
In the open Katie Porter #CA47, an additional 8,901 votes from today's Orange County update break 52.9%/47.1% for Democrat Dave Min, cutting Republican Scott Baugh's lead by 517 votes down to 616 votes and 0.22%.
New York is called. @NBCNews projections: Democrats gain 3 House seats.
🔵 NY04: Laura Gillen (D) defeats Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R). Dem flip.
🔴 NY17: Rep. Mike Lawler (R) defeats Mondaire Jones (D). GOP hold.
🔵 NY18: Rep. Pat Ryan (D) defeats Alison Esposito (R). Dem hold.
🔵 NY19: Josh Riley (D) defeats Rep. Marc Molinaro (R). Dem flip.
🔵 NY22: John Mannion (D) defeats Rep. Brandon Williams (R). Dem flip.
They’re going to start in blue states, in big cities and the GOP hope is that people push back. This lets them bring in the military and crack down. This will force Dem electeds on the ballot next year to make a choice, back the Trump Deportation Force or stand with “the mob.”
Y’all better start bookmarking these stories for when the GQP tries to lie their way through 2025 & 2026.
Companies are already preparing for tariffs and that means higher prices and layoffs 🤷🏾♀️
I’m almost positive most folks that voted red had no idea.
