The numbers keep getting progressively worse for Drumpf. Here are his updated state-by-state net-approval ratings. They're bigly bad. Make sure to spread them far and wide. He'd hate that. Idaho: 28.0% Wyoming: 21.9% West Virginia: 16.4% North Dakota: 9.7% Tennessee: 5.1% Montana: 3.8% Alabama: 3.0% Oklahoma: 3.0% Arkansas: 2.4% Utah: 1.5% Louisiana: -1.6% South Dakota: -1.9% Mississippi: -3.0% Nebraska: -3.5% Kentucky: -3.6% Missouri: -4.9% Florida: -6.7% Kansas: -7.7% Alaska: -8.8% South Carolina: -9.2% Iowa: -10.9% Indiana: -11.1% North Carolina: -11.9% Ohio: -13.1% Arizona: -14.1% Virginia: -16.1% Nevada: -16.4% Michigan: -16.7% Texas: -16.7% Georgia: -17.9% New Hampshire: -18.2% Wisconsin: -18.8% Pennsylvania: -19.4% Minnesota: -21.3% New Jersey: -22.3% Maine: -23.0% Delaware: -23.4% New York: -25.9% Colorado: -26.4% California: -27.0% Oregon: -29.4% Massachusetts: -30.2% New Mexico: -31.2% Rhode Island: -32.6% Connecticut: -33.4% Illinois: -34.1% Washington: -35.2% Hawaii: -37.8% Maryland: -38.1% Vermont: -42.0% Washington, D.C.: -77.7% economist.com/interactive/tr…

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Bad Bunny just gave his Grammy to 5-year old Liam Ramos, who was kidnapped by ICE. We’re sobbing.
Community note
The child Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to during the Super Bowl halftime show was not 5-year-old Liam Ramos. It was child actor Lincoln Fox, portraying a young Bad Bunny in a symbolic gesture about pursuing dreams. instagram.com/the_lincfox/?h… x.com/Phil_Lewis_/st…

With early vote now over we have our first solid data on the 2025 elections. Democrats are overperforming previous numbers in urban, suburban, exurban and rural precincts thus far. Chances are very good that Dems will have their biggest margin win for Gov in modern VA history.

There is no place for political violence in America—today or any day. Our democracy depends on resolving our differences through debate and discussion, not violence. We stand united with the Minnesota community and all those affected. fox9.com/news/melissa-hortma…

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

This afternoon's manhandling of @SenAlexPadilla after he sought to speak at a public press conference follows a pattern by this Administration to weaponize law enforcement and use excessive force to attack political opponents, and intimidate peaceful protesters, and raid schools. This should be condemned by both parties.

CNBC: Was your work at DOGE worth it? Musk: "What I've learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren't true." CNBC: What's an example? Musk: "That I'm a Nazi."

...Plus TX is just harder to run in because of lack of sustained investment to build org infrastructure & party. If @BetoORourke hadn't run in 2018 or 2022 TX would be nowhere near being a battlegroud state, which it now is & should be treated as such by national party and donors
Despite what Republicans (and some tired pundits) say — Beto’s 2022 performance held up better than similar gov races in even more competitive states. Abbott is inarguably the strongest statewide R too. 2022 was much harder than 2024. With 2026 midterm wind at his back… #txlege

18 years after this tragedy, we should take a moment to read about who the 32 Hokies we lost were, and think about where they would be today : weremember.vt.edu/biographie… #VTWeRemember
Today, we’re honoring the lives of the 32 Hokies who were tragically taken from their loved ones and the Virginia Tech community on April 16, 2007. On the 2025 Day of Remembrance, we're honoring the lasting impact they continue to have on our world. #VTWeRemember 🧡

Great win tonight! But let's take this time to still rethink and rebuild our structures. We've got a long way to go, and haven't even started yet.
I've seen enough: Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, preserving liberals' 4-3 majority.

This is no way to treat anyone, much less the people who devote their careers to public health. Firing these people makes all of us less safe.
At the HHS building in Rockville, employees describe learning they were laid off when their badge doesn't work - and then having to do a "walk of shame" by others in line. "Could they have picked another day other than April Fool's Day?" one tells me.
