More Minnesotans voted for Peggy Flanagan for US Senate than chose to participate in the Republican primary for the same Senate seat. I won’t get overconfident, but I suspect she’s likely to win big in November. #MNSen #BlueWave2026
A Wild Lib Appeared
@awildlibappeared.bsky.social
This account is a place for me to share silliness, interesting articles, political thoughts, and more. Follow along for the fun! 🥴🫠😭 Issues I tend to focus on: economy, civil rights, healthcare, housing, immigration, foreign policy, climate change. 🇺🇸🏴🇮🇷🇲🇽🏳️🌈
To those who think polling in the #WIGov primary election was wildly flawed, consider: * Polls showed Francesca Hong at ~42%. * Most of the margins of error included Hong's current vote percentage of 39.5%. The polls weren't wrong on Hong. They just didn't foresee Crowley coalescing the field.
Big Ice Town energy lol
A Wild Lib Appeared@awildlibappeared.bsky.social · 10h agoDoing a little research on the winners in primary elections tonight. On his website, Matt Little, the Democratic nominee for Minnesota's swingy 2nd congressional district, says the following about being mayor of Lakeville. The "obviously" kills me. 😂 @littleforcongress.bsky.social #MN02 #Chipotle

Q: Were you prepared for pushback you received, especially from Republicans, framing you as too extreme for Wisconsin? HONG: What's extreme is Rep. Tiffany has voted against interests of Wisconsinites over & over. What's extreme is that he's an election denier & continues to protect pedophiles
Doing a Breaking Bad rewatch right now. If Breaking Bad had been told from Hank Schrader’s perspective, the revelation of Heisenberg’s identity would be such an epic mindfuck twist ending, on par with The Sixth Sense.

You’ll never guess who was in the chair when it happened👇👇

The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.
Pleased to finally announce... Abdication, the last Southern Reach novel! "There will come the days of the watcher, the drowned woman and the shadow of a man who keeps falling apart with each step, but first comes the moment the birds appear at night from the gaps between the stars, far from home."
To quote Harry Reid on Collins, "always there when you don't need her."
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 5d agoThe moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.
Jon Husted looked this mother in the eye, and promised he wouldn't vote to cut her daughter's health care. One week later, that's exactly what he did.
Alex Jones (1974-2026) was the biggest supporter of iodine. So why did Big Iodine blow him up?
…We need to win this Senate seat, because Elissa Slotkin deserves a partner like Abdul in the U.S. Senate.”
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Unless people with abuse allegations like Max Miller and Trump face electoral consequences, abusers will continue to inhabit political offices. And then they'll resort to sociopathic lying when they're scrutinized. #VoteBlue
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...
WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵
  I was totally under the impression that we had three coequal branches of government my bad
Michigan's Democratic Senate primary takes center stage on Tuesday, but it's *far* from the only contest to watch on a packed election night. The Downballot previews 22 races across five states—including a GOP primary where Trump made his endorsement mere minutes before publication!

Wild pair of paragraphs in Press Herald's story on Susan Collins and Troy Jackson's roots in Aroostook County. Who knew that being a worker and hiring workers were the same thing! (Lots of ownership class folks think this way, actually.) #MEpolitics
A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

I’m a fifth-generation logger and the son of a public school teacher. My dad worked 16-hour days, and it still wasn’t enough. Susan Collins didn’t stand up for working people then—and she certainly isn’t standing up for Mainers now. Watch our first ad:
We'll never have billionaire or corporate PAC money, and I don't want it. This movement is about everyday working class people coming together and demanding a government that works for us – not just the wealthy elite. Join us today.
Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate
Troy Jackson is ready to flip Maine's Senate seat and unseat Susan Collins once and for all. He's a fifth-generation logger from Allagash, a lifelong labor champion, and former Maine Senate President,...

Anyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all. ⬇️
For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️
I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️
SCOOP: Troy Jackson s about to launch his first ad of the Senate general election, highlighting his labor background and going after Susan Collins. A seven-figure buy slated to begin airing statewide in Maine next week, I’m told. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
