The lower judiciary is doing some good work defending the rule of law. If only the UnSupreme Court wasn’t so corrupt….

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Agreed Patrick!

Sam Jones's avatar

Yes! The guardrails are holding!

Patti Scott's avatar

The lower courts are holding but SCOTUS doesn’t seem to support those courts!

Sandy S's avatar

Well it would help if Roberts and the other right wing leaning justices would obey the Constitution! Shesh!! Do the ever even look at it?

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

No, they don’t have to, because they have decided that whatever they say is what it is.

Sam Jones's avatar

The list of losses keeps growing, and it’s coming from every direction.

Cherae Stone's avatar

BOOM!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Lots of attitude and gratitude gathering here!

Sam Jones's avatar

Keep it coming!

There are so many holes in everything this administration is doing that we could drive a field of tanks though them all!

Morning Scott! Loved all eight but the one that makes my day is seeing that Waltz is still the perpetual thorn in the regimes side. He “takes a lickin’ and keeps on ticking!” 💜 I’d love to see him in Washington but maybe he’s just too upstanding, forthright, and honest to be in that wasp’s nest. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Yep, he is one of those stoic, calm folks from Minnesota who cares about people, and just gets things done. Most of us are proud and grateful to have him in office. Drives the R's nuts. Keeps 'em flailing in the wind.

Sam Jones's avatar

Wish they had let him loose on the campaign trail

Walz is on the list I've been making of potential Democratic presidential candidates for 2028. If I need to feel better about the state of this country, I just look at that list.

Cherae Stone's avatar

Same!!

Sam Jones's avatar

Love Walz. He’s too good.

Fred Jonas's avatar

There are some upstanding, forthright, and honest people in federal government, too. And from the look of it, we're about to see more of them.

Sandy S's avatar

Waltz is such a steadfast keeper of our rights and liberties! Love the man!

Renee Goodman's avatar

NanCala, perfect statement, but the correct person is Walz, the Waltz person is a MAGAT!

Duke winning proves every single vote counts. What if those 97 people had stayed home, or say 98 had stayed home, different outcome. We have to get everybody to show up.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Absolutely right Pam!

Sam Jones's avatar

If just 50 of us bring a friend to vote who would have skipped the midterms, we can swing districts!

Brenda Doherty's avatar

Scott, changing an 18 point Republican seat blue is a formidable task. It helped that almost everyone hates Trump.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Tis true Brenda!

Susan McKinley's avatar

I would like to point out the Brandon Dukes victory to every voter in Texas who thinks that Dems cannot win there. They can. Dems MUST win in TX and all over the nation, or the billionaires will gain more bravado. Block them with your vote!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

EXACTLY Susan!

Sam Jones's avatar

Tell them, Susan!! 🌊

Renee Goodman's avatar

Susan, yes so their money will get taxed to help get this Country back!

This is all great news; especially the take over the the school board. Where I taught we encouraged all scholars to speak their mind in a polite and intelligent way. This was just part of the social curriculum back then. During trump 1 upper grades organized a demonstration in the play ground when he came to talk at the Coast Guard Academy. Then they had a debrief and talked about what they learned preparing for this event. Free speech is a right!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Exactly Candace and well said!

Sam Jones's avatar

Good for those smart kids

Ms Jonington's avatar

Another wonderful post. Thank you, Scott! 🙏

EaB's avatar

I’d say…take your pick. They’re all wins in my book!

Thx Scott

You’re a 🍑 peach!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank YOU! :)

Sam Jones's avatar

Indeed, Scott.

Julie's avatar

You work so incredibly hard Scott. Thank you 😊

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you Julie :) I appreciate you noticing. We have been going 760 days straight I think at this point and there's no slowing down now!

Julie's avatar

You’re very welcome

Renee Goodman's avatar

Scott, all of your hard work along with Sam has brought so many people together to fight and it’s proving that when you fight you win!! So we will continue with you and take back Congress!!!

Sam Jones's avatar

You sure do, Scott

A Trump Plus-Eighteen Seat Went Blue. For this whole district, not just Pittsburgh but its rural suburbs to vote Blue, there must be a few dimmed light bulbs starting to glow again. Anyone know what tipped the scale?

Scott Dworkin's avatar

I think him knocking on doors and doing the work is what did it, combined with some waking up!

Roxanna Springer's avatar

That's one thing I'd like to see more of from candidates looking for funds -- not just the polls or the bad bad bad opposition but what the candidate is doing to pull this democracy all together with active citizenry!

Renee Goodman's avatar

SeeRay, some of the people who weren’t voting, were finally so disgusted with the MAGATS they voted BLUE to win in November to bring DEMOCRACY back!

JimNY's avatar

In spite of the limited online time while traveling, I never tire of the great news! Thanks, Scott! 💙💙💙💙

A Pat's avatar

I don’t have people telling me things don’t change as things are constantly evolving. We will prevail. So, LFG!

Sam Jones's avatar

They’d be in for a surprise if they did say that! 📧 💪

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Anyone foolish enough to tell me that "nothing ever changes" would already have got a piece of my mind. If they stuck around, however, I'd point to the voters in Archbald, PA; Sarasota, FL; and PA's 12th House District. Maybe I'd give a special nod to the latter, because that was one helluva swing.

Kudos to Walz and everyone else you wrote about today!

Sam Jones's avatar

Love the resisters!
