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!🥳

Great video. I highly recommend watching and understanding this basic premise. After, watch the video in the next post explaining HOW to do this.
Bob Geiger@bobgeiger.bsky.social · 4h agoExplaining the MAGA cult through "construal level theory." "These people would rather be told what to think than do the work of thinking for themselves. "MAGA isn't a political party, it's a cognitive disability." www.youtube.com/shorts/MSfGv...
Every 2 1/2 yr old I’ve ever met is perfectly capable of speaking in complete sentences.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoMAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?
Also, never try to guess a woman’s weight.

I want him to stay in the race. He can be beaten.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 18h agoThis is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
89% in and El-Sayed’s lead holds at 2%. I don’t think Stevens has a path now.
Thomas Long@rayosunlong.bsky.social · 15h agoLooking at the numbers in Michigan I think Stevens would have to pull in about 65% of the remaining votes in Wayne County (Detroit) to catch up to El-Sayed. She’s running about 52% in Wayne County now, so my feeling is it’s going to be close but El-Sayed will maintain the lead. We’ll see.
Dem voter turnout in Michigan is about 35% higher than republican turnout. Seems like a lot.

Apparently nobody wants to talk about things that don’t exist.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoTom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2d agoThe President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.
Dragging out this old thread today, that laid out the populist campaign prog dem candidates and a majority of dem voters have now embraced. Prog dems are winning with this message already. Still waiting for our leadership to jump in… The sooner they do, the more seats we’ll win in November.
Thomas Long@rayosunlong.bsky.social · 2y ago🧵 I keep hearing this… “The economy was great, and yet trump won on a campaign promise of fixing the economy. Why did people fall for this messaging??” Well… let me tell you. Because the economy is no longer a measure of how real, working people are doing… +

If you had told me a year ago we’d be discussing what to do about a mitch McConnell’s hidden corpse… I would have believed you.
🚨BREAKING: Iran’s state-run IRNA has published a photo claiming to show a tanker engulfed in flames near Khasab, Oman. The reported location closely matches an earlier UKMTO advisory after a tanker reported hearing an explosion nearby.
I do have a dog in this fight… and I’m telling you. This is the definitive wedge issue here in Texas. Republicans went too far. Gina is super smart to seek these people out and talk to them. Texans are fed up. They will #BreakRank
🪷MsGrumpyBunny🪷@msgrumpybunny.bsky.social · 3d agoI don’t have a dog in this fight, but I have friends and family in Texas that I wish had access to affordable healthcare, clean water and had opportunities to afford their day to day lives — @ginafortexas.bsky.social is giving Texans hope. LET’S GO! Break Rank!

Hinojosa: That is Greg Abbott’s record. That’s why the polling shows people want change. They know Greg Abbott. They know he’s been there 12 years, and they will not elect him to another four. That’s the opportunity we have in this election.
I feel like understanding what Capital One anti-money laundering professionals saw happening in more than 300 Trump Org bank accounts is worth a deeper dive once we have a DOJ interested in Justice, or a congressional majority interested in real investigations. (Thread)
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
