People putting “I Voted” stickers on Alex Pretti’s memorial is exactly the kind of tribute that matters. Not thoughts and prayers. Action.

What happened, 3 parts:

—Dems flip governorships in GA, IA, OH, TX, breaking GOP trifectas. GOP trifecta also broken in NH.

They say you should never meet your heroes, but as one of millions who grew up admiring Patrick Stewart, it was a joy to get to know him and discover that his kindness and decency were just as great as his enormous, generational talent. There will not be another like him, and with the sad news of his passing, our thoughts are with his wife Sunny, his family, and his many friends. Our culture is so much richer because of Sir Patrick Stewart’s life and work.

From Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime performance.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

A real couple married during the halftime show, a Grammy handed to Liam Ramos. There is fabulous and cool, and there is something that transcends both. And that is Bad Bunny.

Trump's goal is to start a civil war... if his goal was deporting illegals, he would have sent those ICE agents to Florida and Texas.

Happening Now: Thousands out for a “No Kings” protest in Chicago

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

people don’t leave christianity because of jesus. they leave christianity because of christians who vote for a president who is like the opposite of jesus

Senior women supporting Harris by a 2-1 margin in Iowa poll is a reminder that it's not just young women who care about abortion.

Over a long life, almost every woman has either experienced a miscarriage or helped a close friend through one. They know how personal this is.

[I hate it here. @anxiouscatmom]

Every few months, some ER doctor goes viral for saying you need to take it very seriously when a male patient says his wife made him come in, and I'm infuriated that women are considered reliable ONLY when they're saying a man needs care, but not when she needs care herself. 🙃

If your candidate of choice only appears every four years, that’s not the leader of a movement. That’s a cicada.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory. 

He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.”

Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy.

Kamala for President.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If our Christianity is somehow offended by the idea of everyone having food, shelter, drinkable water, and a livable wage, not only does this paint a deeply uncaring picture of our faith, but it also reveals that capitalism informs our beliefs more than the gospel of Jesus.

Former President Trump had 44 cabinet secretaries. 40 of them don’t support his 2024 campaign.

Neither does his Vice President nor any of his former chiefs of staff.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

My vote for democrats was locked in a very, very, very long time ago, and them doing little things to appeal to other groups of voters who aren’t locked in like me doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

If Kamala needs to say she’s going to create a bipartisan panel to make centrists in Maricopa County feel comfortable voting for her then by all means go ahead. Real base voters aren’t bothered by such things.

Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, John Kelly, Mike Pence... Your moment to play a role in the history books may be passing you by. @jrpsaki is calling you out.
