The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 19h agoEmbattled Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards is ending his reelection campaign for North Carolina's 11th District, he announced on X at 3:32 AM ET. GOP will pick a new nominee to take on farmer Jamie Ager, a Democrat who has run a strong campaign to flip a western North Carolina seat Trump won 54-45.
I said this tonight myself. Sayed may have his faults and may ultimately lose in the general. But to suggest Stevens would be *this* uninspiring and perform this badly in the primary while simultaneously suggesting only she could have won in November? Come on.
@wolfgabe.bsky.social · yesterdayA lot of the hand wringing over Abdul El Sayed and his electability in November seems to overlook the fact that Haley Stevens ran a fairly terrible campaign and did a lousy job of actually appealing to Michigan voters on the ground
"Probing the link," Bobbles, like those worms probing their way through your rotten brain matter.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoBASH: The WSJ reported the president is pressuring you to conduct studies probing the link between vaccines and autism. Is that true? RFK Jr: Did you say 'probing the link'? BASH: I'm just quoting the Wall Street Journal RFK Jr: He certainly does
Anyway they don't actually literally mean AIPAC, they just see a Jewish name and immediately scream AIPAC! In that sense it's exactly like Antifa, just an abstraction that rarely has anything to do with reality. A rallying cry for antisemitism.
The audience for trumpers with fancy degrees and affectations is basically the set of people trying to get jobs with bari
the thing about his magic with low info voters is proverbial goldfish memories can come back to bite you sometimes
Democrats need to learn how to talk about AIPAC. Because the way we’re handling it is costing us good candidates. Silence isn’t a strategy. It’s surrender. Hear me out… 🧵
Martin inherited a bad situation, but he was the weaker of the two main contenders for the job and has apparently played his bad hand terribly.
Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 2w agoDemocratic National Committee is horribly struggling. Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. While DNC is $2 million in debt. Bad management of DNC but also another sign that the energy in the Dem base is for change--not the establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
There are people in asylums who are less deluded than the people who believe this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "We're in the golden age. This is the greatest we'll ever be."
That is truly the saddest thing he’s ever said and he’s spoken at funerals.

The sound you heard was me screaming and throwing my phone. *What the fuck are we even doing?!* Trump Approves Landmark Nuclear Deal With Saudi Arabia in Big Win for Kingdom - The Wall Street Journal
We struck Iran very hard again tonight Peace for the world An entire civilization will die tonight I stopped 9 wars I stopped 8 wars Why won't NATO help us open the Strait We control the Strait We're talking to people Their leaders are gone Their nuclear program is completely obliterated
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump: “We control the Strait of Hormuz and Iran controls nothing.”
Plätnerdammerung gets more infuriating with each additional revelation. This was pure astroturfing, and what I'd consider a Trumpism--not *of* the left, but positioning itself *from* the left. And progressive voters were so easily, disturbingly hooked. apple.news/ABzlzQbMWSRG...
‘Professional malpractice’: The Platner fallout engulfs the operatives who made him — POLITICO
A string of early missteps, like rejecting an offer for a deeper vetting of Platner, has cast doubt over his young consultants’ future in Democratic politics.

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 3w agoMiller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
So what happened to all the *other* people on those ballots? Were they not duly elected, either?

I stopped 8 wars Their military is completely obliterated Their leaders are gone We're talking to some people We control the Strait Why won't NATO help us open the Strait I stopped 9 wars An entire civilization will die tonight Peace for the world I don't wanna negotiate
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "We'll have Iran defeated soon. They'll be defeated very soon."
We're being very careful with the civilians You're not gonna have anybody left You better make a deal I don't wanna negotiate An entire civilization will die tonight This war is over I call it an excursion I stopped 9 wars I stopped 8 wars We're talking to people Their leaders are gone
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3w agoTrump to Iran: "You better make a deal or you're not going to have anybody left. We're being very careful with the civilian population. I said, 'You better make a deal or you're not going to have anything left.'"
When your party controls the White House, both houses of Congress, and a majority of the states’ legislatures and governors’ mansions, it doesn’t sound like you’ve been the victim of voter fraud. It sounds like you don’t want to be held accountable by the voters for your record.
He literally screamed at Sen. Feinstein and every Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, during a live televised hearing, in order to advance the Kavanaugh nomination and curry favor with Trump. Refusing to speak ill about the dead does not require lying about the dead.
MAGAs are such good Christian people and care so much about their leaders that they will waste no opportunity to exploit their deaths.
