At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

Come on Michigan, do the right thing today and show Stevens that her vile racism is the dealbreaker it should be.

I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country. You deserve to go to a good school, get healthcare when you need it, and know that you can graduate and get a good job.

I’m not sure how much louder the electorate can get. Party leadership is completely missing the moment by insisting on maintaining the status quo. We are demanding change as though our lives depend on it - because they do. Nat’l Dems are fools if they don’t get on board.

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

Liberals hate leftists more than they hate fascists.

If there's one thing the voters of Maine love, it's when super-rich people who don't live there helicopter into the state to tell them how to vote. What impeccable political instincts that Elon fellow has.

People are fed up w/the status quo. We want genuine folks representing us, not someone who accepts corporate $ & won’t own up to it. Not someone whose reflex is to deflect when asked tough questions. Lookin at you @angiecraigmn.bsky.social and @rephaleystevens.bsky.social

All this for 1.5% growth. 🇺🇸 (via Bilello)

Mamdani: "When I make criticisms of PM Netanyahu, they are criticisms of PM Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even frankly personal assessments, they were objective facts ... it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor."

We've got 100 days to win this race and give a voice back to the people of southern Minnesota. So if you haven't already, now is the time to sign up to knock some doors, make some calls, and get your friends involved: jakejohnsonforcongress.com/volunteer

The Hennepin Cty (home of Mpls) attorney race is more important than ever this year.

Democrats have introduced a bill allowing ICE-Gestapo killers to be sued for civil rights violations. Considering they’ve kidnapped and imprisoned over 60K people and are murdering people in the streets, this is needed, but we need to start seeing them jailed for their atrocities.

They may not realize it, but they’re making the case for alternative response.

Witt talking about police budgets: We have to show up regardless. We don't have the option of not sending anyone when something happening. Not an option to say we have no money.

It should be noted MPD has a dismal solve rate for shootings. Prosecutors can't prosecute cases they never get.

Think he knows he sounds like a kid running for student council?

I guess the media was satisfied with that super reassuring proof of life photo Mitch’s camp released. We still deserve more information.

Has anyone heard from mitch McConnell?

And I guess I’m posting this because I want people to understand that when you see political influencers mentioning an “unbiased” news site in their vids, they are making huge bank off it and feeding you slop. While those of us with actual principles are like, hmmm will I ever be able to retire?

More of this, Dems. Please.

No one wants to hear it but tracking everyone in your life is pretty much the gateway drug to the Armageddon you’re so afraid of.

Minnesotans deserve to know who's spending more than $13 million to buy this Senate seat.

Really makes you wonder if part of the motivation for going after Amnesty International is personal payback for firing her. Narcissists like her never forget a slight like that even if the ultimate outcome worked in her favor.

It is not a great look that some senior Democratic leaders have had time to put out statements on social media about how much they'll miss Lindsey Graham but haven't had time to talk about these latest executions carried out by Trump's gestapo in American streets.

It seems to me that most of the border problem could be solved with technology for a lot less than we're spending now. What we really need is more judges to hear cases and decide who we should let in, and a better explanation for the public of why immigration is good, and is what makes us great.

Thomas Massie: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling ‘election fraud’? We won all the damn elections.”

The more establishment Dems hand-wring about the DSA/lefty candidates winning primaries, the harder it gets to deny that both parties are virtually the same. Listen to/lean into the voters, whether they’re in a state hungry for progressive pol’y or a state where a more conservative approach is best

If you arrest a member of the US military for saying that the US government is committing illegal acts against its own people, you should probably be aware that this is not a great PR move for your government's legitimacy

New research indicates that state voter registration lists — a common administration target — are actually accurate and up to date. And both blue and red states are largely doing a good job maintaining their lists. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!
