The Senate is important, but state legislatures are just as big and, as the post notes, these races are a lot more effective use of your dollar.

I 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...

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

It’s been really challenging (for me) to write satire in a world where everything has been heightened beyond satire, but I wrote a piece! (Shout out to my girl @brookepreston.bsky.social for giving me helpful feedback on an early draft.) www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-f...

This @semisonicband.bsky.social show is absofuckingluty bonkers fun. Wow. After almost 20 years I finally feel like my real MN baptism has happened.

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) and Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) launch a new joint fundraising committee for their re-election campaigns. Something something "new meaning to bipartisanship" something.

You deserve it! You are the best Peggy. You fight for the people and you have a good heart. I support you too! We are lucky to have you.

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social · 4w ago

Gloria Steinem helped generations of women believe they belonged in rooms where decisions are made. She never stopped fighting for equality and opportunity for everyone. I’m deeply honored and humbled to have earned her support of my campaign for U.S. Senate.

This is an important moment for Minnesota and our country. I'm friends with both Peggy & Angie. But this race is about more than friendships or campaign ads. It's about who has consistently stood with our communities when it mattered. Peggy has. That's the kind of leadership this moment demands.

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social · 4w ago

The same old status quo politics aren't going to cut it. It's time for leaders who put Minnesotans first. I hope you'll watch my new ad going up today:

Nearly 200 children are buried in the cemetery at the Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children in Owatonna. A few years ago, one man stepped in to restore the graves — and the history — of children who died while living at the orphanage.

I'm just going to point out that "Replace HR Lady Politics With Big Strong Man Vibes" was basically the villain's plan in Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter, and it was clearly not a good idea then, either.

This sounds like the greatest afternoon ever. "These are the otters. They're heavily invested in crypto and mortal enemies of the giraffes who, as I'm sure you know, are dedicated Maoists."

Valerie Castile has a room in her home dedicated to other tributes to Philando: paintings, photographs and proclamations cover the walls. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with her there about how her life has changed and how she remembers her son now.

I'm actually surprised by her apparent desire to do this: I thought she had the self-awareness to know her superpower is convincing the Epstein class of her brilliance, not conning us plebeians. But I guess I was giving her too much credit.
