A bit of a surprise: former Republican Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley ahead of James Talarico. He says he’s ashamed Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. Calls him “the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”
Good Ol' Tom has been at it for the last hour. The Platner comparison is vile but the kind of stuff you just have to expect from a Reaganite piece of shit.
oh we're off to a good start
Robert Pattinson stars as pedophile hunter Chris Hansen in ‘PRIMETIME’. A new trailer releases tomorrow.
Listen I'm actively trying to find a couch to crash on so I can move back and primary her. If you actually live in the district currently PLEASE step up to primary her.

Yeah a very small but extremely loud section of Jewish Influencer Internet is dialing the racism up to 12.

a visa overstayer from Chad who wants to be an American is more American than anyone who puts on the ICE mask
Semafor@semafor.com · 6h ago“Based on its extraordinary success in slashing overstays from bonded countries to near zero, the State Department has made the Visa Bond Program permanent,” a State Department spokesperson told Semafor.
Hillary Scholten certainly provided us with a statement.
Reminder, as awful as this all is, everyone in the GOP decided to go all in on the worst traits of human behavior. not ignoring it, but actively encouraging it, covering it up, saying it’s fine. Moreno only cares because it happened to him and his.
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 5h agoBernie Moreno’s reaction to Max Miller and his granddaughter “The best part of my day is when I start FaceTiming her. She's a sweet little girl. I can't even express to you what it feels like to have her in my life, I just wish her dad felt the same way.”
Skill issue. Seriously, I never want from her again if she did this badly, not even as a commentator, that would be the left wing equivalent of how Claire McCaskill still likes to talk about electability on cable TV as if she didn't lose to Josh Hawley.

NEW: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan! Together, we will keep this seat blue and send Abdul to the Senate.
Why do bash "dead-beat" voters for not being there for the national left wave but we never question if the leftist has bad vibes?

This seriously should not be that hard! AIPAC is funded by Republican megadonors and the very first thing they did when they went from PR lobbying group to actually creating their own super PAC was donate to insurrectionist Republicans. Why would ANY Democrat want to take their money?
I think there's a risk of overindexing this because AIPAC came within 30,000 votes and a Mallory McMorrow spoiler of stealing an election and we should take this no less seriously than when MAGA did it or it will happen again.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 9h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Did I get the night I wanted? No I never want to spend hours waiting on Wayne County to count votes. Did I get the results I wanted? Absolutely, there was Abdul El-Sayed, Will Lawrence, Donovan McKinney federally, along with a ton of statehouse wins including Abbas Alawieh and Chris Gilmer-Hill.

to be absolutely, clear, I hold not the slightest animosity towards Haley Stevens' *voters*
Russ@russ41.bsky.social · 8h agoGracious victory is how we mark the people who are trying to keep Stevens' camp from supporting El-Sayed as a few marginal weirdo losers.
Teresa needs you to file a report and place it on Starks bar first thing in the morning. Do you have what it takes to be hired by THE cobra buisness woman? Thank you so much, @reksukoy.bsky.social , for this amazeing look at Teresa S. Quinnova!!!
For federal elections, splitting the GOP into two competing crank Nazi movements would be great for Democrats. At the state/local level, however, we'd be condemning large portions of the South and Midwest to governance by Crossfit George Wallace's.
There are real parallels here to culture in other countries that are forced to live under perpetual military mobilization and they sandblasted all that potential material away to just do "JOOOS BAAAAD". Israel is a real country, not some abstraction in your head. However fucked up it very much is!
