Pittsburgh definitely unhinged, probably enraged
Stevens being the candidate DSCC chair Gillibrand fearmongered against McMorrow on behalf of Just humiliating every step of the way
As @mtsw.bsky.social likes to say, the media knows how to do a full court press and create a nonstop scandal when it wants to. Not doing the same to Republican threats to steal this same election, the NYT’s own story on Alaska failing to open polling places in Native communities, etc. is a choice
Dan Nexon@dhnexon.net · 19h agoIt's 48 hours before the midterms. The @nytimes.com thinks that: • 2nd most important election story is a speculative piece about whether their story will kill an electoral reform that reduces the effects of spoiler candidates. • 3rd most important is a discussion of why they ran the story.
thanks to the New York Times for laying the groundwork for this
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 2d agoRepublicans signaling explicitly they intend to replay the fall of 2020 & try to overturn results. (This is the Montana senator.)
Remember that we were told that it was an immense scandal when *former* President Bill Clinton met privately with Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch. But now the current president is ordering his own AG to initiate prosecutions against the president's political enemies right out in the open.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "She should be removed from the ballot and prosecuted! But [Blanche] is going to make his own decision. Todd, please make your own -- okay, he said yes."
I would once again like the failing fake news lamestream media to ask what crime they believe has been committed here

The good thing is swing voters are too stupid to read the failing fake news media, it matters more whether this shit is breaking through to tick-tock, instagram or facebook
Ben McAdams (The Resurrection Arc)@purrtah.bsky.social · 3d agoReally is crazy how tilted their coverage can be
that's neat, sounds like a fake court governing a fake organization that can simply be ignored
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3d agoRussian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyaryov says the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that Russian national teams must be allowed to play International Ice Hockey Federation events. The IIHF has barred Russian teams from its world championships since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Has anyone in the failing fake news media bothered to ask the GQP what crimes they believe have been committed
CNN@cnn.com · 3d agoBefore there were two Dan Sullivans, there were three Bob Fergusons. In 2024, Washington's Democratic state Attorney General Bob Ferguson was joined in the gubernatorial primary race by two other Democratic hopefuls with the same name. https://cnn.it/4BBp1Yo
yeah, no shit. groundbreaking investigative journalism from the failing new york times
don't really want to turn my heat on as it will be in the 70s again this afternoon and was in the 70s yesterday but it is Cold Now and it is now Now
I did not realize the GQP was the man ass appreciator party but it’s becoming pretty clear it is, may have to update my voter registration
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: "I started by looking at his ass and it was strong as hell"
Alaska is mostly a mail state and most of this is baked in (in the sense of most votes have probably already been received or are en route back to the election offices in the mail *and* in the sense that yes it was obvious to everyone with a brain that this was the case)
Ben McAdams (The Resurrection Arc)@purrtah.bsky.social · 4d ago1. Staffers need to stfu 2. Get over it. “Oh poor Republicans got ratfucked” yea it’s time they had a taste of it. Change the world. Don’t like how it’s ran pass a law until then every dirty trick in the book is an option

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoOperatives aligned with Alaska Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. The group worked to coax would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult Peltola to victory. trib.al/gWKhuWh
Trump: "He said, 'Why does he keep calling me Muhammed? I said, you know why? Because I'm president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want."
Every story like this is stupid in its own way, but this one got us the Treasury Secretary, who bought this house after working for George Soros, insisting on camera that he loves cheeseburger spring rolls.
Jason Linkins@dceiver.bsky.social · 6d agoI don't know if this is an example of the right's epistemic closure crisis or their inability to grok humor at any level but the thing that makes Obama's joke work isn't "Cheesecake Factory," it's "Saddam Hussein."
For future reference it is good when my preferred candidate steals an election and bad when the other side does it ❤️
wow he is old. where did all the years go
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · last wk.Stéphane Dion on EU associate membership: "I'm not sure that this expression will fly. There is some resistance both in Canada and in Europe because it sounds like if Canada was sending part of its sovereignty to Brussels, and there is no appetite for that in Canada."
