Why are we not trying to flip WI-01!! Also, Steil is almost certainly the RonJohn replacement, wtf are we doing???

To give people something low-stakes to talk about instead: with this trend of unecessary live-action remakes of animated films, what's a movie you'd do the opposite to? What live-action movie do you think could be enhanced (or "enhanced") with a totally unecessary animated remake?

Trump’s fixation on election overhaul bill derails GOP agenda on Capitol Hill | CNN Politics

A nasty feud over President Donald Trump’s elections overhaul push has further crippled an already-dysfunctional Congress, leaving Republicans unable to move on critical elements of their agenda.

I'm not convinced there's any kind of Dem "Tea Party" going on, other than New York. For the most part, Dem incumbents have done very well, and the few who lost outside of New York had some amount of baggage.

Food Blogging i think is liberal coded. Meanwhile what's conservative/non-political coded I think is watching network cable TV (at this point).

What is something that is liberal coded? Like an activity or clothing or whatever. Alternatively, what's something that's either conservative coded or non-political coded

I helped beta test this! It's pretty cool!

This may be flawed logic, but there are clear comparisons between the turnout in the General Election for Governor in 2018 and the Primary for this year. So we decided to map each county by how much vote is in in 2026 compared to 2018... In theory, a lot of vote left!

Susan Collins is pictured here with members of the “Maine Militia,” a far-right group accused of racist and antisemitic rhetoric.

The ‘socialists’ that are picking MTG over AOC were always just republicans. they had plausible deniability in the ‘10s but Everyone that is shocked and/or handwringing over this stuff should just get over themselves. dog bites man. The real socialists are outside knocking doors right now

I updated the Estimated Trump Approval map finally. While it is FAR FROM PERFECT, it's also an interesting way to look at Trump's approval by demographic, by extrapolating it by 100K District. LINK: electioncord.com/estimated-tr...

You can now eat 'some fish' caught in New York's Hudson River for the first time in 50 years

Last night’s #ThePitt included ICE agents in the ER, prompting patients and staff to flee. The episode “mirrors the real experiences of health care workers around the country” @judyberman.bsky.social

'The Pitt' Was More Than Fair to ICE. It Didn't Have To Be

The hit HBO Max medical drama perceptively broached the very real issue of immigration agents in hospitals.

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?

Set the Nazi stuff aside for a minute. I'm curious a.) why this stuff isn't common knowledge (if it wasn't already) and b.) if it is, why Platner's supporters in the left wing chatter-sphere give him a pass on it. Track AIPAC attacks other Dems for literally less, and yet they endorse Platner.

Who does Seth Frantzman happen to be? An adjunct fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, which is a pro-Israel, anti-Iranian think tank with close ties to Likud.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Even the med student exam prep account is dunking on ICE

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Hiding in the woods like bitches People from North Carolina don’t play; they’ll find out about North Carolina very soon.

Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering. And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

axios reporter: a deal to end the shutdown, that the dems are willing to sign off on, in this legislative climate, under these electoral conditions? gop staffer: um. yes. axios reporter: can i see it? gop staffer: no

Just to add onto this, we took a look at the major polls for the VA and NJ Elections, and ranked them by how accurate they were. On the left is VA Gov, and on the right is NJ Gov. (1/2)

For months, certain right-wing pollsters on here have accused me of rigging my POTUS approval average against Trump. They say I weight pollsters like YouGov too highly and am "bat shit insane" Avg bias of right-leaning firms in 2025 gov: 8 pts pro-R (2x 2024 POTUS err) YouGov avg error: 1pt
