Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement” just lost to a guy who dropped out of the race weeks ago. Amir Hassan fell by 10,000+ votes to a candidate who wasn’t even campaigning. Some kingmaker! Outright embarrassing! #USDemocracy #RisingBlue newrepublic.com/post/214002/... via @newrepublic.com

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

Roy Cooper said it right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting in large numbers in 90 days. (Also vote for Roy Cooper for Senator, NC!) #BlueWaveIn90Days

Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days

An hour drive just to see a doctor. That’s what “it won’t affect you” actually looks like in IA-03 right now. Sarah Trone Garriott saw through the lie from day one and she’s not letting anyone forget it. This is exactly why we show up and vote. Vote for Sarah, Iowa-03! #BlueWaveIn90Days

DURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Where are they now?
