MSU Spartan from birth, Detroit Lions fan for life. #USWNT & woso, baby! Women's rights are human rights. #BLM 🏳️⚧️ Abolish ICE. Woke up in 2014 when Michael Brown was murdered by a cop, now can't sleep.
Izzos reasons totally make sense. There are only 200 minutes a game to go around for 14 or 15 players. Can't add another starter now when 2-3 players are recruited or developing for that position.

Yes, the one who couldn't win a primary in her own party despite a $55 MILLION dollar advantage—much of it from a PAC that would prefer to see the Republican win anyway—is the more "electable" one, the one who can really reach voters. That is a thing people believe.
Wow. This—combined with the massive number of people who voted in the Michigan primary, and the closeness of the race—shows people assertively stating what they want with their votes. Sometimes, democracy speaks loudly. I hope people listen.

In MI-08, an R+1 district with a Dem incumbent, the GOP candidate Trump endorsed is losing by double digits to a guy who'd dropped out last month.
This is such a bald-faced that all of Fernando Burgos’s pants must’ve turned to ash by now. When I said in my @onthemedia.bsky.social interview that the Trump admin is pretending they don’t know what’s happening, this is what I’m talking about.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

One of the wildest things about this is that Virginia is home to the 2nd highest number of active-duty members of the military (after California). In 2024, the DoD estimated that 1 in 10 active duty military members was assigned to a service location in Virginia.

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.
