I hope AES isn’t letting people who talk like this help strategize his GE campaign. He barely won this primary and the GOP will spend as much if not more to get Stevens voters to stay home. And if you’re mocking her supporters and spiking the football now say hello to Senator Rogers.

It's kind of funny how so many people are trying to insist that *liberals* were the one pushing the notion of AES winning by 12 points

It’s a sign that to lock in like Zohran you need to toss the toxic streamers aside. Shit makes you look weird and will scare off the voters you need to close this out.

I don’t think there’s enough vote for Stevens left but this will be a close result. My hope is that the El-Sayed/DSA/far left contingent don’t get despondent but realize that both factions need each other. It’s time to cut the shit and fight MAGA, not Democrats.

The professionalizing of youth and high school sports is an underdiscussed cancer on American society. If your kid has any of the talent to play professionally they have to now spend 11 months out of the year in 3 different leagues that are essentially semi-pro w/o the money.

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

The dumbest part is Odysseus is played by a man of British and Norse descent whom didn't war with Mediterranean states in that period either!

I don't see why we have to do this. There were probably not very many Sub-Saharan Africans (or northern Europeans, or south Asians) in the 12th century BC Mediterranean, but who cares? Would the movie be better if the whole cast was of Greek ancestry? It would not! It's fine.

I think she is very actively putting an extremely winnable election at risk with this nonsense. Also, even if she’s saved because gas costs 6 bucks a gallon this fall I would not bet on her winning reelection in 2030.

one thing that I appreciated about Zohran was his willingness to backtrack from some of the Woke 1.0 era posts that didn’t age well and were posted in a different context. I do not understand why Hong is incapable of doing that, especially since she is running in a swing state instead of NYC

Collins: Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? Hong: I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made was for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there, I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve. And the position that I'm running for right now, and I think my background as a chef will actually help me become a better governor that's able to bring more people to the table. onG THE SOURCE LIVE HONG ON ATTACKS OVER DELETED "CANCEL THANKSGIVING" POST CAN 9:44 PM 9/ T MONDAY THEY WERE "PLEASED" WITH BLANCHE'S ORDER AND THEY "LOOK FORW

MAHA activists aren't here to be recruited, they're here to convince you their right wing conspiracies about medicine are true to get you on their side. A four term Congresswoman should know better than to even try to ally with folks who are bringing back infectious diseases and killing people.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Ray Baker@bigbabyray.bsky.social · 2d ago

I'm an active member of my Democratic Party and a VBNW kind of guy. But if AOC won the nomination and was promising to continue MAHA to court them into the coalition? Giving those who deny vaccines and medical professionals a voice? It would push me close to my fucking limit.

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 2d ago

MAHA is incredibly passionate, super dangerously wrong about an infinite variety of things, and very gullible. so I’m pretty much fine with cozying up to them rhetorically during election szn as long as you don’t do any of the shit they want because they want it

Ray Baker@bigbabyray.bsky.social · 2d ago

AOC trying to find a middle ground with these people is seriously disqualifying. If you're in MAHA you think the CDC was killing people on purpose with COVID by keeping horse dewormer out of their hands or you're convinced raw milk is good for you. These aren't people a President should respect.

Weedle@weedle.bsky.social · 2d ago

Sure the MAHA activists want to make it illegal for trans people to access hormones but they're so authentic and populist about it so

And the only other option they have is scrapping their recess and fighting it out. A recess they need to campaign, and it’s worth remembering only Ossoff is in a vulnerable Dem Senate Seat. Every other swing seat is a Republican incumbent or retiring D so it’s a double edged sword for the GOP!

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d ago

an important part of any negotiation is timing, and this timing couldn't be worse for republicans; trump is going to shit a fucking brick because he gets nothing out of this, and he's probably going to take that shit brick and throw it at susan collins, but it doesn't matter, they don't have time

Ray Baker@bigbabyray.bsky.social · 3d ago

I think Chuck Schumer and the Democrats using the Senate to suffocate the SAVE Act in the crib is good actually. But never let Democrats’ successes get in the way of brownie points online.

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 3d ago

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X: “The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11 Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect" Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason." “Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30 Also has health care extenders Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”

All elected 90s Southern Democrats knew exactly what their principles lacked when they switched parties. Which is who Kennedy is, and he knows it everytime he looks in the mirror and sees the wretched he’s become.

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d ago

i have more contempt for kennedy than someone like ron johnson, because kennedy’s occasional snide little digs at trump make clear that he knows exactly who trump is and doesn’t like him, but will almost never go against him
