If Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer said this some of you would be setting up a guillotine.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2d agoSenator-elect Abdul El-Sayed: I’m going to look at every Trump nominee and give them a fair shake. The bar is extremely high. Fox host: I don’t think that’s very unreasonable. I’m not sure why we played that. That was fine. Nothing wrong with that. He says he’s going to give them a fair shake.
1. Van Hollen was for Platner. 2. He doesn't want the job of Senate Majority Leader.
This was always the most obvious outcome from Trump to a midterms loss instead of some grand scheme to steal the election but for some reason a lot of ppl convinced themselves he was going to do something post-election he's never done his entire life: help out someone else besides himself
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayTrump: By the way I was not on the ballot, just in case you had any questions. Because if we were on the ballot we would’ve won. But we weren’t.
the willingness to say “what the fuck are you even talking about, you freak” is a refreshing commonality among much of the new Class of 2026 officeholders

They deserve what happened on Tuesday and theyll deserve everything that happens to them on the road to 2028
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 2d agothis is the moment at which the party — at both the state and federal level — are looking to trump for some sign of how he’s going to bail them out before 2028, and he just told them he’s going to bury them.

Good for her and shame on the political news media ppl that think Acton should just let that go
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2d agoQ: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.
Genuinely so happy Ojeda somehow made it to congress.

That's weird, I was told elections didn't matter and that voting was silly. /s
Dana Houle@danahoule.bsky.social · 2d agoElections have consequences.
Black voter turnout held at ~96% of 2024, the highest rate for any midterm in at least a decade, in the Deep South on Tuesday. If Scott Colom manages to win Mississippi's Senate seat, it wouldn't have been possible without sky-high engagement of Black voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-11-10...
feel like the orban money drying up, the iran war, and the collapse of the republicans are going to produce some really interesting outcomes
Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 2d agoLaura Loomer announces she’s going on hiatus from her podcast. I think we’re going to find that midterms end up being a mass extinction event for MAGA influencers.
Rahm Emanuel’s approval rating when he left office as Chicago mayor was 18%

This account voted for Trump and is now on instagram pretending to be leftist and bashing Democrats.. to great leftist applause
Author Myron J. Clifton@deardean22.bsky.social · 3d agoLook at this anti Hakeem & Schumer account.. Guess where it is located? Lololol
reskeet and screen grab for those of you who have him blocked cause this is FACT. Dems haven't had a fat majority in a loooong time but when they do, they get shit done. GIVE them that. Make the Manchins of the party irrelevant.
Michael Paulauski♨️@mike10010100.com · 3d agoHalf the discourse since 2021 has been people blaming "Dem leadership" because two holdout Senators tanked bills that 96% of the caucus voted to pass. When voters give Dems margins big enough to make holdouts irrelevant, the platform passes. Hold these majorities for 2028 and watch what happens.
It's satisfying that the margin in Foxx's district is going to be close enough that people watching this story and being horrified might have done it.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3d agoA 10-year-old student wrote a letter to Virginia Foxx about electric cars as part of a school assignment. Fox's office replied, "Ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you." Foxx was defeated by Democrat Chuck Hubbard.

"It all puts Democrats in the driver's seat for 2028. If they continue to show voters they put them first, 2028 is in reach. Democrats are +10 in generic 2028 contest, and win Independent voters 66-34%" Obviously insanely early but a great place to start is a great place to start!
Joel Wertheimer@wertwhile.bsky.social · 3d agoAbsolutely fantastic interactive election day survey/exit poll from @tavernresearch.bsky.social on what happened and why in the election. election2026.tavernresearch.com
what i can't get over, looking at louisiana and mississippi and even alabama, is that the votes are *there*. it is absolutely possible with long term investment to make them competitive states
Uh oh, cops are having another temper tantrum again before they go back to doing absolutely none of this
Joey Scott@joeyneverjoe.bsky.social · 3d agoLos Angeles Police Protective League official and LAPD officer Jamie McBride told NBC today: “If Nithya Raman becomes the mayor, the city needs to prepare for Armageddon. She won’t have to defund the police. Police officers will just leave the department.”
one argument i have been making in my column for like half a decade — and an argument i will make in the book i am working on 👀 — is that when breakthroughs happen, change can come all at once. i do think that the 2026 opens the door to major political reform
VoteHub@votehub.com · 4d agoPer Axios: With Democrats winning trifectas in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact now has 283 potential electoral votes, putting it above the 270 needed to take effect.
2024-2026 will be remembered as one of the stupidest national hysterias of all time a supposedly generational "vibe shift" completely disintegrated upon contact with Actual Republican Governance
AP Calls Boebert's defeat. You are legally obligated to celebrate by having an ethically dubious bisexual affair or by giving someone a handy
Every time! Every time they hate someone, every time they say "REMOVE XYZ NOW!" They *never* have anyone waiting in the wings! They had a *decade* to come up with someone besides Socialist Grandpa! The closest they got was a lady who came 3rd in her own state and Marianne fuckin' Williamson!
Daniel Gilmore@gilmored85.bsky.social · 3d agoNot that I disagree with the sentiment here, but the last part of this is the key weakness in the Replace Schumer plan: they dont have anyone on hand to line up behind
