Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

If It Happens because the president installed an incompetent reality TV star as Transportation Secretary ....

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION CONFIRMS MARINE ONE WAS BRIEFLY TOO CLOSE TO PASSENGER AIRPLANE - STATEMENT

I don’t call myself a blue dog Dem, a yellow dog Dem, a DSA Dem, a centrist Dem, or a progressive Dem: I call myself a Big Dawg Dem, where our only platform is kicking MAGA’s ass in elections. Anyone else?

Sherrod Brown's U.S. Senate campaign releases a new ad scorching Jon Husted for slashing Medicaid: "You can't hug our daughter, take your picture with her, and then cut the care that she relies on."

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

Onward!

To everyone who helped make tonight happen, including the working folks, volunteers, our partners in labor, activists, veterans, and anyone who chipped in… Thank you for placing your trust in us. It is the honor of my life to be your nominee to take on Ann Wagner. We’re not done yet.

This is always such a dumb strawman. "GOPers won't vote for us!" Right. They won't. But *Dem voters* could decide to just skip it and stay home. Like they did in Michigan in 2016, and then again nationally in 2024. It's not about flipping voters, it's about the voters who stay home.

AES needs to worry about urban centers flipping red? Idk Tom. Sounds like you're grasping at straws.

Yes, I would say the same, and have little expectation that AES voters would support her. The voting pattern last night suggests that AES is weak in the urban areas where he needs to be strongest, but the torpedo's been launched and there's no do-over here.

If Stevens won by a slim 20k votes, would you say the same thing about the dem party? No, you wouldn’t because you believe all the El-Sayed voters would support her. Two-way street here. Dems will vote him in.

She doesn’t even care

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

Storm chances return to area this afternoon… it’s Wednesday, August 5th! weathertok #Pittsburgh #3Things2Know #weather #storm

THE HOUTHIS JUST LAUNCHED A MASSIVE ATTACK ON DUBAI'S PORTS! This comes after Iran spent the last two days hitting AMERICAN BASES without facing any sort of retaliation from Trump. Who knows how many are injured. But hey, at least Scott Bessent manipulated oil prices, eh?

The problem I have with some of the hardcore progressives is that some of them sound like egotistical condescending authoritarians who would label anyone who is not immediately 100% with them as enemies. Seems familiar somehow.

The right answer to this question is that Democrats are often a suicidal party, which is how Republicans have taken many winnable seats away from them

PlayfulPiano (he/him)@playfulpiano.bsky.social · 23h ago

random thought, if Dems were splitting *this much* against who you think is the perfect general election candidate, do you maybe think if that candidate won, it would've actually depressed turnout and harmed the general election chances?

I will assume that he was carried into office on a gigantic blue wave - which is what you’re hoping for as well

If AES wins, Tom will do no introspection at all.

DONALD “BRUISED HANDS” TRUMP IS IN LA TONIGHT RAISING MONEY FOR THE RNC — WHILE HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION BUYS OWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA COMPANIES LIKE IT'S THE SOVIET UNION!

David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS

Short girlfriend

Here we have a pup enjoying the fruits of his labor after a hard day's work. 13/10 good for him

A few years ago I went to check on twitter world with a new account and it decided to show me a kid riding a bike being hit by a car and Elon joking about Nancy Pelosi’s Husband being attacked I have not gone back since

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

"How's your diet going?" Me:

The Democrats' midterm ad practically writes itself.
