If Dems ever retake the White House, we should ban this process (just so that they can own the libs by doing it)

The DSCC puts out a statement from Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand backing Abdul El-Sayed. This is the first time since 2010 that a DSCC-backed candidate lost in a primary. #MISen
McMorrow at El-Sayed side for his press conference. I’m happy to see this.
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…
Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.
If Abdul el-Sayed were named Albert Steward, the negative attacks towards him would have been reduced by 90%
El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Why is the Chicago Tribune posting editorials in support of multi-millionaires who own a pied-a-terre in NYC?? Are they that desperate to bases the DSA? (Yes. Yes they are).

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · yesterdayOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
ok how many GOP members of congress are secretly dying/dead? this is getting out of hand
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
Will Susan Collins be *concerned* before she votes for him?

This is SO important. Talarico, Ossoff, Sherrod Brown, and Roy Cooper have already raised more than they can possibly spend. your $100 won’t impact them. But at the state legislative level, small donations can make an impact
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 3d agoI love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
As a Dad. No, as a human being, I cannot imagine sitting by, knowing this man abused your daughter and grandchild, but not saying a word “for the good of the party”. Neither Miller nor Moreno are fit to serve in public office.

Mike Lawler loves to point the finger at everyone but himself. Since he took office, household utility rates have gone up more than 50%, and he’s done nothing to stop it. Then he allowed Trump to cut funding for energy projects in NY.

NPR@npr.org · 5d agoTrump officials say they found 250,000 noncitizens on voter rolls in just four states. Those states don't know where the numbers came from, and some worry what the claims may portend for the midterms.
