If I were Dems I would try to find candidates that these folks would support. Seems like a winning strategy.
emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social · 7d agoParticularly given that Trump has done so much of this or similar, I'm a bit sad they didn't include "defraud MAGAts at scale." The support numbers would still be sky-high. But it would be a useful demonstrative. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
Too bad Lebron is commuting from NYC or it could have been him.
Truthout@truthout.org · 6d agoSen. John Fetterman is so unpopular that he would lose his hypothetical re-election by nearly 20 points to a generic “someone else” choice if the election were held today, new polling finds.
Every day we inch closer to the bottom falling out.

Look, the economy might suck based on “the numbers” but have see how much money the Trumps have made??
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 6d agoCheck out how Fox News is spinning the extremely weak GDP report. Larry Kudlow: The top line number was 1.5% but there are so many glitches in that number, if you deflate it properly...you would be almost at 5% real growth. Sandra Smith: Markets think it's a strong report. Stocks are surging!
How important is the job of a senator anyway?
Lauren Ashley Davis@laurenmeidasa.bsky.social · last wk.John Fetterman defends Mitch McConnell's weekslong absence amid Democratic scrutiny “Yes, he’s in rough shape; he’s an elderly man. He’s not running for re-election, and he’s not behaving in a way or claiming otherwise,” Fetterman, D-Pa., told NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
What problem does less expensive food solve? I don’t believe that’s a real question from a real human being.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
Mike DeWine campaigned for and endorsed every single person in power who is making this happen. He sent national guard troops to DC to help this regime maintain fascism. He a terrible governor and a terrible person. Ohio is worse off because of him.
Home of the Brave@ofthebraveusa.bsky.social · last wk.GOP Gov. DeWine on ICE operations in Ohio: "It's a mistake. It's not good for the United States, and it's not good for the state of Ohio…These are people who have opened restaurants, they've opened other businesses, they've rehabbed houses, they've created jobs, as well as filled [essential] jobs."
This is a great line from Howard. The whole article is really worth your time.
Howard Beck@howardbeck.bsky.social · 2w agoNBA execs and coaches were stunned when LeBron chose Philly. (So was I.) After 23 years, they shouldn’t have been. (And yeah, I shouldn't have been either.) Latest from me, at The Ringer:
If the DSA wins the presidency, the house, and the senate and instead of passing stuff from their own platform, they pass republican-lite bills…then they should be judged harshly for it.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last wk.EVERY DEMOCRAT NEEDS TO SEE THIS. DSA co-chair Megan Romer laid out the organization’s platform. Now I’ve got to ask: will they be held accountable when they can’t get these policies enacted, just like Democrats in general? 🧵
One thing Blu sky users will never understand is that if you don’t elect people with Republican policies, you’re helping republicans.
