holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

There is now set to be at least nine democratic socialists in Congress. Donovan McKinney – alongside Melat Kiros, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
AIPAC is gonna take a long look in the mirror and say to itself, “we gotta be even more racist”
Kornacki keeps talking about how “Western Michigan”—particularly Kalamazoo—is propelling El Sayed to victory. In honor of Kalamazoo: m.youtube.com/watch?v=fFv_...

it’s more expensive to be poor than rich, thats all the theory is and its not complicated and its obviously true for example buy toilet paper in singles instead of bulk for a year and see how much money you waste
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 5h agoSince people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.
Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.

What is truly "shocking" about the polling miss in Michigan is that it is completely average for a primary "The expected error on the margin between two primary candidates in a race for governor or U.S. Senate is a whopping 13.0 points." blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/2026-texas...
Do we really know who's leading the Texas Senate races?
Primary polls have historically been rather unreliable, and a surge in new primary voters means turnout assumptions matter more than usual

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 16h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
She was down two points and closed with messaging about the haters in her mentions
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 4h agobased on how close it was I legit think that Stevens would have won if she didn’t talk about how Israel comes to her in her dreams
Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.
They're calling it for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social — this is a victory for Medicare for All, for every American who has ever needed care but couldn't afford it. We are one step closer to realizing health care as a human right in this country.
This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 11h agoUnfathomable
I texted a friend on the ground in Michigan (for the campaigns) to check his phone, cause Kornacki called it. He shouted to everyone to check their phones & the bar *erupted*
No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 16h ago30,000,000 dollars
again I need to point out that Chuck Schumer is not only wrong on the substance but getting annihilated on the politics. He’s failing at the thing he (so wrongly) says is his top job. His leadership is unsustainable. That’s just simple fact at this point.
Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · last yr.Chuck Schumer to Bret Stephens, March 2025: “My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.”
he ran against the full force of the zionist establishment and won. unbelievable victory
There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this
