Twenty-one years after Katrina, Mississippi knows the importance of being prepared. We should be strengthening disaster response, not weakening the agency that's there to help communities in their hardest moments.

As the 2026 U.S. midterm elections intensify, we remain deeply concerned by the continued, blatant use of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in local, state and national political discourse.

Taco Tuesday is great for two reasons. 1) tacos on Tuesday. 2) leftover tacos on Wednesday for lunch.

By making AI slop he's proving to his case worker he lost any sense of taste.

Thank you Oakland County! It’s the honor of a lifetime to be your democratic nominee.

To be fair, the CBC vs Sanders fight started in the 1990s when he lied to them about not supporting drug sentencing minimums to get their support and then betrayed them by doing just that. That and his repeated attempts to deny Black families access to federal Healthcare by attacking SCHIP...

the CBC-vs-Sanders fight has been there since at least 2020 but is really spilling into the open now.

Thank you, MICHIGAN! I'm so proud to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of Michigan. I'm ready to fight for your future — costs down, wages up, rights protected, and a government that works for all of us.

Since Im sure @astrokatie.com needs a laugh to start her morning.

There be no greater success of capitalism than the continued belief that something that costs more must be better.

The problem with this idea is that it requires that quality/durability of a product grow exponentially with price. E.g.: if you pay $5 for a whatsit, it lasts a year. If you pay $10 for a whatsit, it lasts 3 years. This is an absolute mathematical requirement for the theory to make sense.

What in the "Dewey Beats Truman" hell is going on here? She lost by more than TWENTY.

Democrats have no one to blame for this but themselves. We can't help but dunk on people who want to abandon MAGA and/or betray Trump. We don't keep them from getting primaried. We don't campaign to keep them in office as an "insurgent wing" of the GOP. So they have no escape path.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · yesterday

A big social factor too. Republican officials are terrified of being labeled a traitor, becoming a hate object of right-wing media, and shunned by friends and family. Adam Kinzinger's family members publicly denounced him for saying the Constitution is good and a violent attack on America is bad.

I think people are missing the point. Or rather, they're missing the key phrase. It's not "used" Its "precision". The US is almost out of PRECISION munitions. But they have lots of unguided munitions with much higher lethal radii, meaning more "off target" strikes and more risk to civilians.

This seems very highly suboptimal. www.reuters.com/world/us-has...

Elaine Luria has won the Democratic primary for Virginia's 2nd Congressional race. She will face off against MAGA Republican Jen Kiggans in one of the most competitive House races in the country.

Polls close at 8PM local time! If you're in line to vote, stay in line.

And THIS is why I call the Houthis the Blackwater of the Middle East. They're so undisciplined and so poorly trained they'll fire on their own allies. They were the ONE group you didn't want stepping into this, because they simply do not care who suffers.

We'll be in Michigan in an hour, no rest, no brakes, full gas to go door to door for Shanelle Jackson. We must put an end to Rashida's reign in that district.

Leftist TikTokers: "But I posted about Sudan that one time after I was called out!"

This is an important but undermentioned point. Healthcare in the 1970s and 1980s SUCKED. That's partially why Gen Xers know so much basic first aid and have stories about putting ourselves back together with bandaids and duct tape, and treating everything with Robitussin.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterday

Think about it this way: would you prefer 1970s healthcare at 1970s prices, or 2020s healthcare at 2020s prices? If you say the former, you're a lot more confident of not facing any truly serious malady than I am.

This unfortunately will not be a surprise ruling to anyone who understands law.

An NY judge has ruled that agents cannot be banned from wearing face coverings or forced to display visible identification because a ban would violate the Supremacy Clause, which bars state governments from regulating federal law enforcement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

According to the Senate GOP: Todd Blanche became a different person somewhere between the confirmation hearing and today’s vote. He remains Trump’s personal lawyer. Same client. Same corruption. Same playbook. Nothing has changed. He has no business becoming Attorney General.

The NAACP has released a statement while the Tarrant County Commissioners Court considers a proposal today that would cut the number of Election Day polling locations nearly in half "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression"

Now, the question is are they REACTING to Trump, or is this the same type of positive reinforcement parents use on toddlers when they get a Teddy Graham for making the toilet play a tune?

The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · yesterday

The second Trump era has, if nothing else, been a good illustration of the idea that the people at the top echelons of society, in finance, law, higher education, politics, etc., are often the most credulous fools you can imagine.

Okay, let's game that out. Let's unicorn 2026, and Dems win the midterms by a D+12 margin. That gives them almost 290 seats in the house, 57 in the senate. They're 10 senate seats short of removal. What policy concession are you willing to allow Dems to give Republicans for 10 votes?

Hard to say that automobiles, for example, were better in the old days. My family took off on a cross-country trip in 1964 from Jersey, and our car transmission went in Ohio at 29,000 miles. Today I'm driving a vehicle with over five times that mileage, with nary a problem beyond normal maintenance.

"Orange man bad. LGBTQ rights good." That was all Harris and Cheney agreed upon. But apparently she was supposed to ignore that, and listen to the people in Dearborn who helped Moms for Liberty ban LGBTQ+ books in their libraries. Because that's where the REAL progressivism is.

You know something that I keep coming back to? Liz Cheney became the unforgivable millstone around Kamala Harris's neck for the sin of agreeing with Harris on something, for which Harris got treated as if she gave the store away to Cheney. But folks crossing the aisle for MTG and MAHA? All good!
