I'd love to hear why my book White Flight -- which won prizes from the Southern Historical Association and the American Political Science Association -- was deemed not good enough for students at Texas A&M.

Just blocked and reported this trollbot account, recommend others do the same.

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

We are making space. Also centering. And amplifying. But also listening. While at the same time elevating.

Do you want to win a general election with the same graciousness Haley Stevens just displayed endorsing El-Sayed or do you just want to be an asshole on the Internet? Maybe ask them and listen to them first.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Stating the obvious here: but given the slim margin of victory if El-Sayed wants to win the general he needs Haley Stevens' voters. Not Hasan Piker.

The framing of these Democratic primaries by many news orgs is "how did the party let these radicals take over?" instead of "what is going on in the country and the world that leads so many people to vote this way?"

Yeah, I'm totally over-reacting to think these folks would happily throw people in camps.

Sen. Jim Banks refers to American citizens as "the babies of invaders" and compares them to Nazi spies and terrorists

Sexual violence and the abuse of women and girls are the current Republican Party brand.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

The Trump administration is taking billions of _your_ taxpayer dollars to pay for mass deportations. The Cost of Deportations Calculator shows what could this money be used for instead.

National Democrats see a path toward winning all 8 of Colorado’s congressional districts in 2026

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Wednesday added Colorado’s 3rd and 4th congressional districts to its list of “districts in play” this year

Worth noting: Jeff Hurd is buying ad time in the 3CD and Boebert's challenger had 14X the cash on hand at the end of June. #copolitics Crank's challenger in the 5th is already airing TV ads there.

Hi folks: Although the attempt to overturn Amendment 79/abortion rights failed to make the Colorado ballot, there are still two terrible anti-trans/anti-kids measures up this fall, currently Measures 109 & 110 (numbers will change). Please go to familiesnotpolitics.com to learn more.

It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

Attempt To Overturn Will Of Colorado Voters On Abortion Rights Fails To Make 2026 Ballot

Attempt To Overturn Will Of Colorado Voters On Abortion Rights Fails To Make 2026 Ballot

Two wins for abortion rights: Voters in Kansas and Missouri easily defeated ballot measures that could have threatened abortion access in their states

🚨 Kansas voters once again reject GOP efforts to trick them into losing abortion rights. The no vote prevails on an amendment that wouldve replaced the indy commission with direct (partisan) elections for Supreme Court justices — which the AG promised would "slowly & quietly" let GOP stock the court

Republican 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

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sparked outrage Tuesday after being captured on video agreeing to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein – only to snub them moments later. "They sat in his office for 45 minutes before his staff told them he wasn’t coming."

TAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

Rep. Max Miller literally thinks that since Trump got away with raping and abusing women and girls he can too. And so far Speaker Mike Johnson is letting him.

I remain convinced the only reason Obamacare wasn’t repealed in 2017 is that Collins & Murkowski were certain McCain was a yes vote.

Every fucking time.

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

"It's a family issue" is how women and children in DV situations end up dead.

RAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too

Trump has given license to men to abuse women. Congrats to the WHCA for the party a couple weeks ago.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Bernie Moreno's hands are sort of tied when it comes to Max Miller, given it's his daughter (and his granddaughter's) security. But Mike Johnson could put a stop to all of this about Max Miller today. He just does not want to.
