Abdul El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens, a moderate candidate who was backed by the Democratic party, with a platform built on progressive politics.

This is entire situation is another glaring example of how out of touch these leaders are allowed to be. Most other Americans would lose their job if they were out this long without documentation of cause and/or verifiable communication. #Mcconnell #Wednesday #WhereisMitch #work #ethics

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

ICE already has a program that forces immigrants to download a phone app and check in via face rec, so it’s really just a choice to tag people like animals.

If you want a perfect capsule to demonstrate how completely divorced from reality the broligarchs and their toadies are, look only to the fact that someone thought a winning strategy is to bring a disgraced one-term NYC mayor to Wisconsin to sell angry residents a data center lol

Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d ago

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.

Stop putting off that big decision. Make the call.

This was a great conversation. I’m glad he was so open to it since he is of one of the older generations.
