Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 44m agoLifting this up from @haleyformi.bsky.social as well. This is fantastic & gracious message after a bitter primary. She fought valiantly and ended the fight w/ class. I respect that. People forget how incredibility contentious Obama/Clinton primary was in 2008. That worked out ok. GO BLUE. 💙💛
The framing of these Democratic primaries by many news orgs is "how did the party let these radicals take over?" instead of "what is going on in the country and the world that leads so many people to vote this way?"
When he was Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers (the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan) publicly took the position that "you can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." Colbert had some fun with that: crooksandliars.com/cltv/2013/10...

Haley Stevens was out with a gracious concession and a commitment to support Abdul El-Sayed within about one hour of the AP call in her race. If she can buck up first thing in the morning, everyone else can. That’s actual political leadership.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 5h agoI meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
Honestly, at this point, Democrats should be thrilled with this -- Miller has set himself on fire and if the GOP wants to hold him close, so be it.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 4h agoMike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
He really thinks if he says it enough he speaks it into existence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoTrump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)
Considering how badly Republican ballot measures targeting abortion rights, public education, independence of judiciary- are getting curb stomped in - checks notes - deep red states … there are gonna be relentless think pieces in DC media bubble about toxicity of MAGA/Trump Republican brand. Right?

This. Make the Kochs, AIPAC, and Elon flush it all. Big money don't work in politics no more? May it be so.
TC@rainbovvz.bsky.social · 16h agoAIPAC and corpo PACs spent SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS trying to keep El-Sayed from winning his primary. They just lit that money on fire because they were that desperate to avoid changes to our government that help the working class. An it didn't fucking work, because the people are awake now.
Every single campaign donor to Max Milker should be held accountable and answer for it. Every company, every individual. They are financing his career in politics despite what they know. All who write a checks going forward and donors who don’t demand a refund are complicit.
They’re watching for funny biz from the governor too. Awesome job, Missouri!
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 15h agoJust a massive win for every day folks stepping up as community leaders to fight back against latest scheme billionaire backed Republicans to gut state income tax to gut public schools among other things. Worth watching this interview from @karoli.bsky.social w Sierra Kirkpatrick from MO.

Missouri Amendment 5 - Boon For Billionaires
Repealing the state income tax only benefits billionaires like Rex Sinquefield while gutting public schools.

MS NOW discussing Michigan primary and electability. All I can say is that if we worried about electability in 2008, Obama wouldn’t have been the nominee.
With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.
I can see why Republicans are defending Max Miller, because if the party got rid of all the politicians accused of abusing women, there would be a lot of vacancies in key government positions.
Really? He voted against the bill prohibiting it.
