Maine is looking less dismal than it was a month or two ago, fortunately -- but ousting an incumbent is still an uphill climb.

You also have to understand the history of the people at the core of the Uncommitted groups. Many of them have been working with Republicans against LGBTQ folk, women, African Americans and Jews for years, well before Hamas attacked Israel on 10/7/2023: www.axios.com/local/detroi...

As the 2026 U.S. midterm elections intensify, we remain deeply concerned by the continued, blatant use of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in local, state and national political discourse.

Urging people to vote for your candidate who's taking on the establishment as if your candidate isn't running to become part of that same establishment.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Crashing out over *winning* & people pointing out you need to do outreach to Black & Jewish people is unhinged behavior & y’all need to touch grass. That is deeply unsettling levels of parasocial.

Its good to know the evil establishment has not been deterred from doing the work that will actually put more Democrats in Congress in order to defeat Trump's agenda: flipping House seats from red to blue.

Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.

But I thought . . .

We've been inundated with thinkpieces about how Republicans care about inflation, the price of eggs, etc. when a Confederate invasion of US cities is what they really want.

Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

…the point- is a discussion you have NO depth to answer. And AGAIN it gets even weirder when YOU think you have license to tell the same folks who built this bish (this country AND the Dem tent) they don’t embody what you have only been able to speak about and reap benefits of.

You call anyone saying “no I’m not willing to further harm MYSELF and MY community” by putting false litmus tests (currently a PAC that has been around since the 1950’s and you ain’t said SHIT about it) ahead of what is happening HERE “genocide loving” and other filler because to actually address

I finally blocked the therapy candidates because there is NOTHING I can’t stand more than pimping out the suffering of genocide to use as a cudgel against another community experiencing that HERE in your own backyard… Also- calling Black Women pointing that out “genocidal freaks” is some weird shit

It's time for Cori Bush to get the memo. Girl, they don't like you like that. She needs to get a CDL, apply for a job, go back to school, or something else apart from trying to get back to Congress. Maybe she should try her hand at local/state politics.

White people care more about virtue signaling than actually electing people who are going to do a good job, and aren’t grifters or Trojan horses

The insurgent left spends the entire primary season calling Democrats the hopelessly corrupt establishment, claims every source of party revenue is tainted by evil, insists any pol who accepts that revenue is compromised, then pivots to demanding that same party revenue if their leftist faves win.

Cori Bush getting annihilated is outstanding for pretty much everyone who cares about effective representation and fewer cranks in congress Also bodes well for the prospect of ejecting other cranks like Chevalier in the next cycle or two IMO

I love how the brogressives scream AIPAC but their DSA gop tech bro money is ok.

Standing with the only Jewish nation & speaking about the massacre of October 7 is only controversy for racists

Now that the extremely tight race has finally been called, I'm amused at how quickly people have pivoted into brow beating mode to shame everyone into falling in line behind the Michigan primary winner.

We know exactly what Fox News coverage of a Democratic President removing counterrorism sanctions from aircraft/airlines with links to Iran while we're at war with Iran would look like. But Donald Trump doing this is fine.

the people of Michigan DESERVE real leadership, and that is why I am a firm and staunch supporter of [WINNING_CANDIDATE] this November

Keith@mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 19h ago

I support the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary as the future senator from Michigan.

Just like I noped out of anything having to do with the Maine Senate race after Platner won (I told you so on that one though), I'm nopeing the fuck out of the Michigan Senate race. The people of Michigan can face that awful choice. I'm washing my hands of it. It all makes me lose hope though.

Ice cream for breakfast it is.

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...
