"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social · 3w agoIncredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.
My son, a lifelong Patriots fan, won’t watch them now.

Watching Everton v. Man U and a Pete Hegsethifried recruitment commercial for the armed forces appears. Ending in WAR.GOV. 🤮
Why do some pubs insist on the headline convention BREAKS HER SILENCE when the event they’re commenting on happened hours before and there was no beef between commenter and commentee?
You could see Susan Collins not supporting Blanche from a mile away.
Joe Manchin is bad enough but Heather Manchin, too? She of the kazillion $ Epi pens wants to help America? What a joke.
I had no idea that was Chalamet in the Kalshi dentist’s office commercial.
Is it the habit of rich people, especially Europeans, to say “I’m afraid” rather than “I can’t”? Or is it a writerly tic? Daniel Silva uses it repeatedly in his Allon series.
So far Nirav Shah is easiest on the ears. #MEPolitics
How long has dirtbag Left been a phrase? I’ve seen it a few times today and my brother, a Democrat but one who worked in a Right-leaning industry, called Platner a dirtbag last weekend, before the latest shoe dropped.
The Platner death blow story came at the right time. If it came out before the primary, we'd have had a mortally wounded Platner, David Costello, a zombie Janet Mills, and a write-in candidate to choose from. Now we'll have a superior slate of candidates, even if *we* don't actually get vote.
Messi's gonna Messi, FIFA's gonna FIFA, and it is written that VARgentina advances.
it immediately made me think about Cesar Chavez's long history of sexual abuse, & Dolores Huerta's statement that she kept her experience secret for 60 years bc she believed the truth would hurt the movement she spent her life fighting for www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u... medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Liv Agar@livagar.bsky.social · 3mo agoHeartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it
Maybe this means Trump won’t get on the stage and grab the trophy at the final.
Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding
This guy bats away comments like they’re gnats, blocks the commenters or disallows responses. He doesn’t invalidate my point he does a look, squirrel. Accrued goodwill will vanish. Now other appeals are incoming. Good work, everyone.
