ericjmorey.com Democratic Candidate for Cape May County Commissioner Born and raised in NJ This has become my primary outlet for keeping informed about the political troubles in the USA.
I haven’t seen a single piece about how the President needs to moderate to get closer to American voters. They cover him like he’s a hurricane others have to react to, but they’re also constantly downplaying the damage and assigning positive motivations to the hurricane.
If the lesson we take from this election is that it was all about affordability or Iran we lie to ourselves. 1. It was about voting rights 2. It was about corruption 3. It was about multiracial democracy 4. It was about money in politics 5. It was about ICE 6. It was about decency and norms
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 4h agoIn the AP Voter Poll, "government corruption" was cited more often than "cost of living" by voters as a crucial reason for their vote. People know our economy is filled with legalized scams that funnel wealth upwards. If Dems don't make a big show of attacking those things, voters will punish them.
We need some actual privacy protection laws in the US.

"Many journalists and others quickly noted a comical aspect to its location, near a sex shop and a crematorium...Shortly after Giuliani began talking to the assembled reporters, the Associated Press projected Biden as the winner of the Pennsylvania vote and thus the nationwide election."

When Cindy Hyde Smith blocked Scott Colom's judicial nomination she said it was because he wanted to defend transgender people, and she ran an ad with this, hundreds of times a day, in every media. So watching her be slowly forced to eat shit under a national spotlight? It's kinda nice.
Dear American media: This is what it looks like when a media outlet doesn’t sane wash the news. Take notes.

Last year, Hegseth abruptly removed Nancy Lacore from command. No public explanation was provided. Afterwards, she ran for office and has flipped a seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. She will now have the constitutional authority to investigate and oversee his department.
This is important reporting, but the "unexpected activist" framing is so tired. Taylor Frazier McCollum isn't an unexpected activist, she is someone whose analysis of power moved her to action in the place where she & her family live. This is what politics is & Frazier McCollum is good at it.

Last night, the American people spoke loud and clear — they've had enough of an administration that ignores their needs. They voted for change. I have the privilege of coaching our red to blue candidates this cycle, and I couldn't be prouder of their resounding victories.
The attorney general is not the president's defense attorney and he's certainly not the White House chief of staff's attorney. Just saying this nonsense is disqualifying for an attorney general -- he's an idiot and a partisan hack, totally unqualified for the job.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoAG Todd Blanche: "You have Garcia minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to chief of staff telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well I'll tell you what. Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me."
You can’t get to affordability without defeating corruption and if you pretend otherwise you will fail at both.
Nashville: the current mayor of Nashville is a white progressive Jew who went to Montgomery Bell, then Brown (music and comp sci), before moving home. The city is a quarter black and very left wing, so TNGOP chopped it to suppress representation.
Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · 17h agoNEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
It's cool seeing how people ain't even sworn in yet and the election results appear to be somewhat influencing behavior already, from 'oh maybe I can do good things I was too afraid to do' to 'oh maybe I shouldn't do that bad thing I thought it was safe to do' to 'oh maybe I should...resign lol'

one of the most insulting thing that elites tell us is that left-wing people live in bubbles and don't understand conservatives. we've been putting up with these people telling us that they want to murder us, take away our rights and enslave us for our entire lives, we understand all too well.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · 21h agoright, the GOP made it very clear to me from the moment I became aware of its existence that they hated people like me.
i think the thing that has yet to break through beltway commentators and the green room set is that el-sayed's position is *mainstream*. it is arguably the view of the *median voter*.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Arizona Democrats gain a trifecta to control the state House, Senate and governor's office for first time in 60 years.
The point is not that Stephen Miller will have any more power or influence as formal Chief of Staff; it's that his elevation sends an unambiguous message to Democrats that conciliation ain't happening—sparing them from what otherwise could've devolved into a messy split over how to approach 2027–29.
hi when will all the progressive journalists and organizers be given newspaper columns and high-paying pundit jobs to explain how this country *really* feels

Democrat Scott Colom's lead over Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith now exceeds 2,000 votes, further eroding her hopes of hanging on to her seat. She had hoped affidavit ballots would break her way and help her regain the lead, but so far she's lost ground with each new batch of votes counted.

One of the things El-Sayed said that I think is absolutely right is that you need hundreds of little targeted bills like the “Stop Crap in Lettuce” bill and force Trump to veto them. So that people understand what exactly is happening as it happens.
Conor P. Williams@conorpwilliams.bsky.social · yesterdayBeen thinking about this—substance matters but maybe the perceived momentum matters even more. Like, whether you lean more towards accountability or oversight or ___, the goal should be endless activity. Show the country that this Congress is On The Case(s). Democrats are the Do-Something Party.
