I would like to add the Tom Keen flip💙 for the Orlando City Council seat against a heavily endorsed/funded incumbent is a lesson in Never Giving Up!
Many activists here helped Keen flip a FL House seat blue in a 2024 special election that he then lost to a Repub candidate in the general.The tide is slowly turning in Fl…🌊
5th to last paragraph in the post Kathy! :) But we didn't mention it was Keen though thanks for bringing it up again though!
The lone Republican member of the City Council in Orlando, Florida, was defeated in a major upset. The longtime GOP incumbent only garnered 31% of the vote.
I remember when Fox "News" tried to fact check me for calling it a landslide, and my defense was simple "Trump called this a landslide for himself in 2016" LOL
I’m feeling more hopeful than I have since Jan 2025! Feeling like our country is coming back together for the good of ALL Americans not just a few. Go America! Keep standing up for goodness, kindness, generosity, economic stability, and love for one another!!
Last night was AMAZING and uplifting! Let’s take what we learned and get down to the business of completing the task of rendering Trump, Trumpism and MAGA …powerless.
When fascism throws a tantrum and democracy laughs louder, that’s how you beat Trump. Blessed be the ones who traded fear for turnout and turned ballots into a sermon on justice.
It was a worrisome time. Will the people come out and vote to save our democracy. Yes they did . I’m so proud of the American people they will not let the Trump regime steal our freedom
Elated. I called our two Democratic Senators and our Democratic Congressional Representative yesterday afternoon and said, DO NOT CAVE TO REPUBLICANS. There must be substantial concessions on the ACA. We will not forget. We will vote against you next election cycle. Time for change Schumer should retire. Jefferies should step aside.
I am so happy that the voters showed up and that democracy has prevailed. We will have to anticipate efforts to suppress voting rights for future races but I feel this momentum will be picked up by all. Wouldn't it be grand if house Republicans decide to return and restore the ACA? They have this power, not counting on it but now would be a good time to do their job.
I feel extremely relieved and totally energized to keep this momentum up! These are fantastic wins for Our Country and We the People! This is what happens when Americans Rise Up and tell a Rogue Government~ “OH NO YOU DON’T”! Let’s keep it going!!!👊🏻
After last night, I feel a lessening of the gut wrenching anxiety that I have endured for so long. Lets just hope that this is truly the beginning of the end for maggots.
Great night for us America but keep going forward. Recall the GOP Cabinet and Sink SecDef Hegseth, send Duffy out of here, can RFK jr. Take Scott Bessent to the bank Bondi, Patel and Bongino must go Especially Noem, Homan and the ICEman in Chicago And hold them responsible
How about we STOP using his name and title - nothing matters more and call him Sally's moniker: what’s-his-name , or whn. I haven't used upper case for his name for years! We should Mock him in every way, like Gov Newsom does so effectively!
I still mourn for all of the harm that trump has done, which will take many years to unwind even in the best of circumstances -- but I am more optimistic this morning than yesterday, so that's good!
I also came here to thank Scott for the Dworkin Report -- I subscribe to a bunch of newsletters and I always look forward to TDR -- the format is so clean and the focus is so clear. Thanks for the daily breath of fresh air!

It feels as if America has spoken and is tired of the endless cruelty, chaos and corruption. The Fox meltdown and MAGA tears are epic.
I agree, everyone is beginning to see exactly what some of us have known since before trump ascended the golden elevator!
Last night the people didn’t just speak, they roared.
The "woke" awakened with meaningful action - Voter turnout!
Sure did Marcia!
Woke means we care about others and our planet
Yep!
100%
100%
Yes. So glad that the protests began a message to the voters. NO CORRUPT DICTATOR. 🇺🇸🗽
Agreed!
Let's keep protesting. Send the GOP a message: no more corruption and pandering to the 1%!

That's great! I hadn't heard. But I wrote postcards for him in the Special Election with Postcards to Voters.
They sure did!
Hey everyone look, it’s what Trump does best: LOSE
LOL
So much losing, I am tired of my country losing!
I haven’t been this excited since Biden beat Trump in 2020 by a landslide.
I remember when Fox "News" tried to fact check me for calling it a landslide, and my defense was simple "Trump called this a landslide for himself in 2016" LOL
My sentiment exactly!
I’m feeling more hopeful than I have since Jan 2025! Feeling like our country is coming back together for the good of ALL Americans not just a few. Go America! Keep standing up for goodness, kindness, generosity, economic stability, and love for one another!!
Amen!!
Exactly!
Great to hear Maggie!
Hear hear!!
Agreed !
And let's see those *&%$#@ Epstein files!
Last night was AMAZING and uplifting! Let’s take what we learned and get down to the business of completing the task of rendering Trump, Trumpism and MAGA …powerless.
YES!
... AND GONE!

well said!
It was a worrisome time. Will the people come out and vote to save our democracy. Yes they did . I’m so proud of the American people they will not let the Trump regime steal our freedom
Now let's do it again Martha!
Super dooper charged up! We have proven we can break through. Shore up the walls of our institutions and prepare for them acting out. Stay together.
Let’s roll.
Yes Scotty!

Thank you Jill!
Yes! especially Schumer

Fuel for our fire Betsy!

And swear Adelita Grijalva in and release the Epstein file for pity sake!!!!
Right on!
We never stopped working that's for sure Laura!
I’m in total agreement. Shut the door on the Cabinet. They’re terrible people who think just like what’s-his-name.
How about we STOP using his name and title - nothing matters more and call him Sally's moniker: what’s-his-name , or whn. I haven't used upper case for his name for years! We should Mock him in every way, like Gov Newsom does so effectively!
Oh, so agree, Laura!
I still mourn for all of the harm that trump has done, which will take many years to unwind even in the best of circumstances -- but I am more optimistic this morning than yesterday, so that's good!
I also came here to thank Scott for the Dworkin Report -- I subscribe to a bunch of newsletters and I always look forward to TDR -- the format is so clean and the focus is so clear. Thanks for the daily breath of fresh air!
Same here, Marie!
Thanks Joanne!
Thank you so much Marie this means a lot!
