New: Dan Osborn, the former independent Nebraska Senate candidate, launched a new hybrid PAC today, the Working Class Heroes Fund.
It would support working-class candidates and causes, including aiding striking workers. Candidates who want an endorsement must refuse corporate PAC money.

Senate D's have a chance to lock in a Dem majority at the NLRB deep into 2026 by re-confirming Lauren McFerran before Jan 3.
The fear is that will goad Trump into firing McFerran et al to get their GOP board, prompting a much more perilous legal fight.

BREAKING: The NLRB just banned mandatory anti-union "captive-audience" meetings in a precedent-setting ruling against Amazon.
Trump's win, however, means a GOP-majority board would be able to overturn this once they're in power.

Kamala Harris couldn't win Michigan.
Elissa Slotkin did.
Here's my deep dive on why -- and what lessons, if any, Democrats can take away. huffpost.com/entry/kamala-ha…

New: Private prison executives gleeful over mass deportation
- "unique moment in our company’s– country’s history"
- "a theoretical potential doubling of all of our services"
- potential "need for some soft-sided facilities around the country"

A frank assessment you don't often hear publicly from Dems' union allies.
Painters union @GoIUPAT: "the Democratic Party failed to offer a compelling working class agenda and the election results show as much."
IUPAT is the most progressive union in the building trades

A lot of irate folks on here seem to think Williams is pro-Trump because he criticized the Dem campaign/messaging; some have even wished for his union to suffer. He and his union ran the most aggressive GOTV program for Harris in the building trades!

Spot on from @zachdcarter: “Where Trump offers cheap scapegoating, Democrats must instead revive a politics of public accountability.”
Trump’s success is the product of a political culture of impunity. Democrats can win by confronting that. slate.com/news-and-politics/…

One of the few exceptions to a wretched night for progressives: paid-sick day ballot measures passing in Nebraska, Missouri and (likely) Alaska. Will be the three reddest states with such mandates.

NEW: While Trump campaigns as a dove, it's more realistic to see him as Donald The Hawk―a victory for him likely means more bloodshed from Gaza+Lebanon to Sudan+Ukraine
My read based on thinking among insiders, prospects for him delivering "peace" & more:

A New York Times principal engineer tells me the tech workers' strike could absolutely impact the Needle’s performance.
“It could and it will. There is a complex set of data pipes and systems driving the Needle. ... Any one could have a weird glitch.”

Howard Lutnick's interview on CNN was alarming. He didn't just spout debunked anti-vax nonsense -- he said RFK Jr personally told him he wants Trump to get him "the data" necessary to have vaccines pulled "off the market." Lutnick said this approvingly. huffpost.com/entry/howard-lu…

Last month, Loomer said if Harris wins the election “the White House will smell like curry,” drawing condemnations from Graham, Tillis, & even MTG. Graham called her “toxic” and urged Trump to keep his distance
Now:
Excited to talk about the Senate GOP Leader race soon with @LauraLoomer!
We need Republicans in Washington to act like Republicans again. Looking forward to the conversation!
