Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.
Anyway this is me because I’m in love with her now. Does she fw coastal trainwrecks who like nerd shit & don’t shut up if you talk about their interests?😂🫶 Glad to have supported her. Hope she stays involved past this cycle where she’s already endorsed AES. Hope she’s in a 2028 Dem admin somewhere.
One more thing: Go ahead and use that anti-AIPAC energy against Mike Rogers if you want to, but you’ll find it won’t work as well in the general election against a Republican. And he’ll have a massive corporate-funded war chest that El-Sayed will need to compete against.
I’m listening to him right now. He’s doing and saying the right things. I’m more concencerned about his supporters on social media. The toxic energy needs to be put to rest. Fast!
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
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
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…
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!🥳
BIG: Kansas just rejected a ballot measure that would have required state Supreme Court justices to be elected rather than appointed by the governor — dealing another setback to Republicans trying to overturn a decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.
The residents of that district got a taste of real representation with Wesley Bell and decided they weren’t going backwards with Cori Bush
Do y’all see what’s happening in Missouri?💀😭😂😂😂
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jocelyn Benson wins Democratic nomination for governor in Michigan.
Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙
The unnecessary lefty trash primary challenger to Sharice Davids got slaughtered as she should’ve.
Glad to see Jeremy Moss win comfortably in Stevens’ district. His opponent’s campaign was disgusting.
Jim Crow 2.0 doesn't have poll taxes. They just get rid of polling places to make it much harder for you to vote, and kick you off the voter rolls for 'reasons' without telling you. Voter suppression is racism. If a candidate isn't talking about voting rights, they aren't paying attention.
The NAACP has released a statement while the Tarrant County Commissioners Court considers a proposal today that would cut the number of Election Day polling locations nearly in half "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression"
AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.
State Sen. Jeremy Moss wins Dem primary for safely blue #MI11, Haley Stevens' seat. He'd be Michigan's first LGBTQ member of Congress.
Dem Rep. Wesley Bell easily fends off a rematch from Cori Bush, whom he ousted in the primary for the safely blue #MO01 two years ago.
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
Good point. This is just energy costs. So the $600/household figure doesn’t represent the whole shebang. bsky.app/profile/stev...
And that’s just fuel cost, correct? Imagine the cost of military expenditures on top of that.
Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview
In Kansas, Sharice Davids is getting 86% of the vote in her race tonight. In Missouri, Cori Bush is getting only 26%. A victory of substance over performance.
Vote No is absolutely killing it in Kansas. Looking like our Supreme Court will be marked safe from being bought by Elon Musk.
AP calls Kansas' 3rd Congressional District for Democratic incumbent Sharice Davids and former Shawnee City Councilman Eric Jenkins #kansasprimary
Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
Missouri voters reject Amendment 4. The Republican-backed measure, designed to make it far harder for citizen initiatives (like abortion rights, marijuana, etc.) to pass by requiring majorities in all 8 congressional districts, has failed. Simple statewide majority rule stays.
Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes
