She campaigned with Ossoff and she’s won her own races three times individually and once with Biden—his campaign was reinvigorated when she was named his running mate. She’s good.

Wait, Barbie did the Dark Energy ending they were originally building to for Mass Effect?

Blue tsunami, bullshit websites that exist only to smug-post shutting their doors less than a week later, this slaps
The audacity's the point, tbh. This is the last possible moment where a hostile takeover might stand a chance at succeeding. In two years Schumer stands a good chance of having ending the Iran war, multiple indictments, and even an impeachment or two under his belt. It's built on panic.
politiBOO!@politiburb.bsky.social · 3h agoInsisting Chuck Schumer be replaced 48 hours after winning Senate seats in Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, Alaska, and Mississippi is genuinely so stupid it boggles my mind. Probably the greatest peak of ingratitude I've ever seen in politics.

Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" burning down last week was an omen for Republicans.
The most virulent racism in the the US is anti Black racism. STFU you ignoramus.
Republicans currently have a bigger majority than Biden ever had, but they haven't managed to pass a single major piece of legislation with it. Not the SAVE Act. Abortion ban. Repealing Obamacare. Nothing. Jeffries and Schumer have run a masterclass in obstruction from the minority.
There are a lot of access journalists who's careers were defined by their proximity to GOP power who are about to have a very bad couple of years.
Bernie Sanders, (I-Vermont) should be the leader of the Senate Democrats?
Super agree with this. I think an interesting strategy to square the circle on the anti-AI sentiment while respecting its role in the economy is to target Elon, specifically. Do normal regulatory oversight on OAI, Anthropic, etc. But try to make Elon specifically the face of tech accountability.
Keith@mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 11h agoI think it's a massive analysis error to group Musk in with the rest of the tech class, even if there's some cross-pollination of brainworms. He funded half Trump's campaign and assumed he had bought his own federal government he could remake following the same model of how he purged Twitter.
“The days of the House functioning like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Administration are over… We must root out corrupt price gouging, clean up the mess at the Supreme Court and ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. Accountability begins at home.”

Sorry to be a downer. But it makes me sad and angry how many adults apparently needed to touch the stove. I just hope voters remember the lessons of 2024 for decades, or at longer than 2-8 years.
Oh, I forgot the climate side: even at 50-50, Biden still passed the IRA, the Green New Deal in all but name. At 56/254, Dems pass the entire rest of Build Back Better with it, and Manchin can't kill the Clean Electricity Performance Program or force oil-and-gas lease tie-ins.

This. Everyone screeches about Jeffries and Schumer when they were never the problem.
Michael Paulauski♨️@mike10010100.com · 9h agoHalf the discourse since 2021 has been people blaming "Dem leadership" because two holdout Senators tanked bills that 96% of the caucus voted to pass. When voters give Dems margins big enough to make holdouts irrelevant, the platform passes. Hold these majorities for 2028 and watch what happens.
Basically the whole country finally saw the GOP for what they actually were.
I’ve seen people saying they think the results on Tuesday were basically just a referendum on the economy or even more narrowly on gas prices, but I don’t think the scale of things backs that up at all. I don’t want to get too far out over my skis, but I think it’s a way deeper revulsion than that.
I don’t think you get a swing like we saw between 2024 and 2026 *just* from gas prices going up., or even prices going up in general. The war in Iran largely caused that but I don’t think it’s only the price piece that people object to about it.
I think all of the ICE stuff shocked the consciences even of people who voted enthusiastically for what they thought Trump would do with ICE. The corruption mattered. Knocking down half of the White House and building monuments to himself mattered.
