Oh great they’re covering him like ESPN covers Jalen Hurts.
Politico@politico.com · 10h agoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
it’s cool that if you turn on ESPN nowadays you’re fairly likely to see the 24th best QB in the NFL discussing the lab leak conspiracy with a man in a tank top
People voted for Donald because they wanted something different from a government run by billionaires and corporations. Unfortunately 77m are too uneducated to recognize the lie. Progressives are offering people -government, run by ordinary people like you for you. Fix our culture.
The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official, was backed by prominent progressives, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Woman on a bus (reading from an article): Have you ever discussed your fantasies with your partner? Her friend: Like the one where I’m in a cottage by the sea completely on my own with a book and a cup of tea?
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
The president of the United States is a mentally deranged con man and a pathological liar.

Great news! We only torched 80% of our missile interceptors. That leaves a full 20% for the next war. Which starts Tuesday. Relax. Raytheon’s on it. Delivery date: 2031. P.S. Duck.
In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

When generals start emailing the ranks…begging for “creative and unconventional” ideas, you’ve moved past confidence …and into desperation. That’s not the sound of a winning strategy. It’s the sound of leaders…searching for an exit.

The U.S. Relies on Family Caregivers. Millions of Them Are Kids.
The modern health care system requires the work of caregiving to fall to whoever else lives in a household — even if they’re kids.

Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals
Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Can we, the United States 🇺🇸, get a good, decent, honest, honorable, and intelligent president again or is it too much to ask for ? We’re really tired of this one.
I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES
One thing people should notice, Dems are turning out in almost 2X the numbers of GOP in Michigan so far for this
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
