No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

As someone who grew up in SoCal and remembers smog alerts and maybe being able to see the mountains once a year, yeah, air quality is soooooooo much better these days
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 13h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
NBC calls the race for El Sayed. They spent $80 million in outside money and numerous Democrats, including the Stevens campaign spread lies—which as a lifelong Democrat disgusts me—and he still won. Let’s fucking go!!! See you on the doors in Michigan!!!
NBC Calls it for Abdul El-Sayed to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan. We're waiting on AP call and another network.
Republicans like Rand Paul are lying to the public and wielding those lies like a wrecking ball, targeting academia and public health. He and the administration want to imprison scientists over what is very clearly a conspiracy theory. It’s the most incredible and dangerous thing I’ve ever seen.
Critiquing candidates does not bother me. In fact, appropriate criticism is necessary for accountability in our democracy. Dem promoters criticizing El Sayed have been almost exclusively petty and non-substantive, and it feels like there's Islamophobia and anti-progressive motivation behind those.
MSNow just reporting that by *their* calculations there was $80 million in outside spending for Stevens. Abdul neither took nor was he supported by any corporate or dark money.
Jodi Jacobson@jljacobson.bsky.social · 13h agoHalf of the $62 million spent by outside groups in Michigan spent to support Stevens came from AIPAC.
I can't stand the "well can they beat Mike Rogers." Can we finish the fucking primary, please? And then get out to campaign? I hate this media-driven shit.
Symone Sanders just now: DSCC was very involved in the MI Senate race, even before they made it public. they were quietly pushing donors toward Stevens.
All of this hand-wringing about the polls is so ridiculous. You can't tell if they were right, wrong, or by how much until you see WHO ACTUALLY VOTED.
It’s fucking gross to mock Cori Bush for "the Capitol steps with her Cheez-Its." She was sleeping outside the Capitol to pressure Congress and Biden to extend the COVID eviction moratorium after it expired, protecting millions of renters from eviction. Bush herself had experienced homelessness.
Based on current returns, Stevens needs at least +20 margin out of Wayne to close the gap. Could narrow based on the e-day - absentee breakdown She’s at +1 right now
I want the Democrats to establish a Works Progress Administration-style group of people who come to DC and New York with sledgehammers and scrapers and take down the shit Trump has put up.
Half of the $62 million spent by outside groups in Michigan spent to support Stevens came from AIPAC.
Just a massive win for every day folks stepping up as community leaders to fight back against latest scheme billionaire backed Republicans to gut state income tax to gut public schools among other things. Worth watching this interview from @karoli.bsky.social w Sierra Kirkpatrick from MO.
Missouri Amendment 5 - Boon For Billionaires
Repealing the state income tax only benefits billionaires like Rex Sinquefield while gutting public schools.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 14h agoMissouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes
Was this purposefully done today? How disgusting.

Who is pushing the constitutional amendment to change Kansas Supreme Court judicial selection? • Kansas Reflector

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 14h agoRepublican 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
Why do so many Republicans look like used car salesmen?
Missouri Republicans have relentlessly tried to destroy ballot initiatives after voters used them to protect abortion rights, legalize weed, raise the minimum wage, and reform redistricting. They are currently sabotaging a veto referendum that should have suspended the GOP's new House gerrymander

NEW: Missouri voters have rejected Amendment 4, which Republicans had passed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments effectively impossible. It would have required initiatives to pass in every congressional district—not just statewide—giving the overwhelmingly red districts a veto
