Reading about these wins is giving me hope--my husband is running for the Ohio Statehouse in the 86th District. It's been held by the Republicans since 1967. 😑🤞
I have been here 74 years and these last few have been brutal. It would be great if a dem became governor and we got more dems in the legislature. Not sure how we can fix our state supreme court
Doomscrolling hijacks a part of your brain called the amygdala to work overtime and triggers fight or flight stress response. Take a break and get yours reset here with Scott.
I’m thrilled that a dem flipped the seat in his backyard. I have been so angry at magas, so this gives me hope that people are seeing how important it is to vote and maybe some MAGAs are starting to see the light. LA school district is doing what every business in America is doing. We want ICE DEFUNDED so no contracts for any company supporting the hate and violence
Fvck Dumbt and his regime!! Way to go America let’s take our country back. Kindness Decency Character and Integrity. Helping our neighbors and lifting up communities. Thank You Florida!!
As important as it is to document the wins over ICE and data centers, I appreciate a refreshing break like this one with other wins for climate change, elections and workers. Need to have wins across the board on all the issues at once but so hard to cover them all. You do a great job of mixing the topics Scott.
Wins against data centers are wins for the environment, or I like to see it that way. Climate change is such a HUGE issue, as is the widespread extinction rate, habitat loss, serious declines in biodiversity and human arrogance. As a big proponent of renewable energy, I have to say: had we invested in green jobs (which are abundant), a renewable energy infrastructure and less total reliance on fossil fuels, the horrors to our oil supply because of the Strait of Hormuz being blocked would be MUCH less dire.
Instead, we ramped UP our dependence and trump is trying to eradicate what renewable energy resources we’ve established.
I agree with Wis. Also, I was sitting on Narragansett Bay looking at the water a year ago last summer when Trump canceled the wind farm project. I was sitting by a guy who worked on that. Also there is a guy I know from there who said his son worked for the wind farm people as an engineer, and it’s a good paying job and those jobs continue beyond the implementation of the wind equipment. They have to be maintained by people who know what they’re doing. But then when did Trump ever care about other people.
Just a minute - Trump voted by mail in Florida on Tuesday. That vote should be struck down since Trump doesn't want mail in ballots. I guess mail in ballots stay.
And how is it he can vote, at all, if he's a CONVICTED FELON? I thought you lost your right to vote, especially in Florida.
A few years ago, didn't the people pass an amendment or law that allowed felons to regain their vote after completing their sentence? I believe DeSantis vetoed it (of course).
So Donny boy can't vote at all, right? He has served no sentence, nor paid any restitution.
I am proud of my old home town cutting ICE ties. People forget that California was originally part of Spain in America and later part of Mexico. Most of us raised there loved the culture. In a spot near Union Station in downtown there is the old Cathedral and Olivera Street which was part of old Mexico and still survives for tourists to see what it was.
This just shows there is a God. Wins like these rock Trump acolytes back on their heels. I can't wait to see how many House and Senate seats flip to blue. If enough Senate seats flip there is possibility Trump will need moving van.
I can’t lie. I’m not a huge fan of LAUSD for many personal reasons, but I have to give them credit and a hat tip for the way they’re handling DHS/ICE and protecting their students.
Encouraging shift to blue in Florida! Hopeful steps in LA to cut ties with ICE. Please talk more about how everybody can help through collective economic power by boycotting business enrichment through illegal Trump. Excellent work Scott!!
🚨TWO URGENT ACTIONS TODAY
🚨Vote NO on SAVE Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-vote-no-on-the-save-act-to-protect-our-democracy/
🚨 Tell your Reps to impeach Pam Bondi: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-attorney-general-pam-bondi/
Done, but I don't think they are listening to me. Bondi hasn't been impeached yet!

Best wishes to your husband!!
Kudos to your husband and best wishes for a landslide victory!!
Krista, hopefully the same happens for your husband in Ohio as what’s happening in Florida!!!
Look forward to you reporting back on your husband's win! Go Blue!
Best of luck to him. Wish I could donate but right now, I'm trying to concentrate what little I have on Florida Democratic challengers. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
As your neighbor in WV, sending all kinds of positive thoughts! 🤞🏻
Good luck! Ohioans need help 🍀
Let’s go, Kent!
These Florida wins are HUGE. And they are a clear sign of what’s to come.
YES
Yes yes yes a great win for Democrats... and a WOMAN !!! SUCK ON THAT ONE, 🍊 FAT BOI !!
Yes a Democratic woman is now his district's rep!
Amen. I grew up here and I have been praying for 30 years that we can get back to a place where Florida is a good place to live.
I have been here 74 years and these last few have been brutal. It would be great if a dem became governor and we got more dems in the legislature. Not sure how we can fix our state supreme court
Maybe there is hope for some of the Americans who got pulled into the cult
Absolutely...As a Floridian I am joyous
Ironic but delightful that a Dem flipped Donny's home district!
And every school district should cut ties with businesses tied to ICE. Yay for Los Angeles!
yes

So true and great advice, Mike!
Thank you, Mike!
Love this
I think the people of Florida especially those who live near Trump may have had enough of him.
YES - WE ALL HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF HIM!
Now they need to go after DeSantis.
We've had enough of Deathsantis, too, no matter what part of the state.

Absolutely! It’s just as exciting to have different wins to share for sure
Just a minute - Trump voted by mail in Florida on Tuesday. That vote should be struck down since Trump doesn't want mail in ballots. I guess mail in ballots stay.
I’m sorry, did you think trumpy should follow his own rules🤣
Nope. BUT we can use it against him in court when he tries to stop mail-in ballots.
And how is it he can vote, at all, if he's a CONVICTED FELON? I thought you lost your right to vote, especially in Florida.
A few years ago, didn't the people pass an amendment or law that allowed felons to regain their vote after completing their sentence? I believe DeSantis vetoed it (of course).

Laws for thee, but not for me!

Yet the Repugs haven’t rebelled yet!
They’re still trying to protect their own ass-etts!
😂
I can’t lie. I’m not a huge fan of LAUSD for many personal reasons, but I have to give them credit and a hat tip for the way they’re handling DHS/ICE and protecting their students.
Trump defeated at home? Keep it coming, let's defeat Republicans at every opportunity and especially in November . Trump's days are numbered.
What a bunch of good trouble. And then the winning too.
