Happy New Year’s Eve!! 🎉
2025 was a drab year for the music industry. Thankfully, the likes of @ladygaga, @ddlovato, @MarinaDiamandis & @HilaryDuff saved the days! ❤️

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Unless you were born on its land… then Texas does not belong to you, it never will. It belongs to us, to those who fought tooth and nail over three decade to change its leadership and direction we were heading. Texas is blue. YOU can move to red state if you’d like :)

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

Holy shit, this seems to be… true?
18 states + DC have already enacted the compact, totaling 222 Electoral Votes. So we need 48 more electoral votes worth of states to join to hit the necessary 270.
Dems just captured trifectas in PA (19 EVs), MI (15), AZ (11), WI (10), and NV (6), which collectively have 61 EVs.

James Talarico flips Texas's U.S. Senate seat, becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate race in the state since 1988.
Luis Gonzalez retweeted
The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.
Hey Texas Dems, I’d be happy to sit down, discuss & strategize on how Texas can achieve an independent redistricting commission at the state level. We’ve been doing the work here in Austin! 💙
There is a very good chance that Democrats will control Texas’s legislative redistricting board after tonight. That has large implications moving forward in the state
