I love this bit from the Charlotte Observer editorial board, demanding Edwards resignation: “The people of western North Carolina shouldn’t have to spend the next five months represented by someone who failed to show up for them because he was too busy being a creep.”
The Republican moral core died with Nixon and completely rotted away with Reagan. What you are seeing isn't rot, the Republican party under Trump simply took off their mask and replaced all the dogwhistles with loudspeakers.
Why should he get to finish his term? He should be out. Period. 
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 15h agoNEWS: 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.”
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
GREAT NEWS. Rich guys can buy private jets they don't even need. There's a rallying cry for the common citizen.
I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy
A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

Climate change isn’t just changing the weather it’s changing life itself. We still have time to make a difference: If we protect wildlife, we protect our future. There is no Planet B. Let’s act before more voices of nature fall silent.

"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone," writes @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. "The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties."

Trump: "Then they say, 'On the economy, Trump is at 42%.' I shouldn't be at 42%. We have the greatest economy maybe in the history of the world."
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Miller is 37. It’s nearly impossible, short of castration, that a 37 yo has a medical need for HRT. He’s a violent juicehead.
And another thing.... Every time Trump asks a reporter "who are you with?" Reporters need to answer "the United States of America. Who are you with, sir?"
Good. Leave them alone. Ban the practice. Pass my OCTOPUS Act.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
