Talarico has Musk funding his opponent’s campaign and Putin funding social media slanders against him — Talarico must be something special to have the world’s two most powerful oligarchs lined up against him.

Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social · yesterdayMy fourth and final essay in a series examining Trump's reign as we head now into the final hours before the midterms — this one on how Donald Trump has, through a whole series of unnecessary choices, weakened the country around the world, likely irreparably. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...
This story is like a speedrun of every establishment pathology racist use of Black voters as a prop antizionism as antisemitism the "electability candidate" campaigning against a Democrat in a general election What a day
Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, who also played a big role in recruiting Mills and Stevens, refused to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York last year. They set the "Dem pols can refuse to endorse Democratic nominees who are insufficiently centrist/pro-Israel" precedent.
W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · yesterdayJanet Mills and Haley Stevens were two of the big candidates that Chuck Schumer recruited to run in this cycle. Mills refused to endorse Troy Jackson until a couple of days ago when she tepidly said she voted for him, and now Haley Stevens is endorsing the Republican nominee.
Bare minimum, I want every elected Dem to burn with the same hatred for elected Republicans that I have.

I'm amazed when white politicians in either party try a lazy con on African American voters, who are generally much more tuned in to the actual issues, much more aware of the real stakes than other constituencies and much more likely to overcome obstacles to vote to make assholes resent it
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 23h agoA member of Perfecting Church in Detroit is FURIOUS after Mike Rogers appeared alongside Haley Stevens. “It’s UNCONSCIONABLE! This is CRAZY!” He says he confronted Stevens after the service: “I’m completely disappointed in you.” Her response? “I’m sorry.” Via @jollygoodginger.bsky.social
Mallory McMorrow's husband spills all the tea on Haley Stevens, particularly regarding an op-ed rebuking Mike Rogers that she kept flip-flopping on. "What we’re seeing now? This is just raw, unfiltered Haley. The Haley who flip-flops and goes from thought to thought without rhyme or reason."
why aren't you promoting this one jon

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 24h agoStatement from Justin German, (former) Chief of Staff to Rep. Haley Stevens: “We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens' decision to support Mike Rogers. As of this morning, many members of our team have resigned, including myself”

Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel out with a SCATHING statement against Haley Stevens, saying her appearance with Mike Rogers “shows that she has abandoned everything she claims to care about.”
Okay I have pulled out the political meat thermometer and have downgraded the previous take to room temperature.
It’s getting buried by the Haley Stevens nonsense, but Senator Chris Murphy had a stroke. Praying for him. He’s a good one.
