This is just so clever: 1. You know #Trump 's going to spread lies to mess with the midterms; 2. Newsom's new law is at state level, meaning Trump can't be pardoned for it. Your move, you Boiled Ham in a Wig.

Lee works to elect fighters, not folders@lkc2025.bsky.social · 6d agoThere is no question in my mind that Stevens would rather have Rogers win than El-Sayed. Fine. Hurt feelings, etc. But if El-Sayed is in the general, remember vote blue no matter who, right? Right? Or maybe you do all you can to demonize the Democrat.
1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan

Marvel at this in Politico "In the Senate primary, there’s fear among some Democrats that Republicans could turn El-Sayed into a statewide boogeyman in other battleground races." Nice of “some Democrats” to do Republican's work to demonize a pro-healthcare and working people’s agenda.
Who’s not deplorable now? They did not poll my no-longer-facetious assumption: Trump could eat a baby on stage and MAGA would play along. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Haley Stevens has benefited from nearly $60 million in outside spending (about 1/2 from AIPAC alone). Given that those outside groups are mostly supporting her because of positions she shares with Mike Rogers, that $$$ will dry up in the general. If she wins the primary, Dems lose the general.

Keith Edwards@keithedwards.bsky.social · 2w agoNBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.
