“Did Mitch win his primary?” “No, sir. He’s still dead.” “How about Lindsey?” “He’s still dead too, sir.” “At least Amir Hassan won, right?” “No, sir. He lost to the guy who dropped out last month.” “The Mexicans only gave us one good word, and that’s siesta. Very few people know that.”

The Minnesota GOP is all in for the military occupation of Minnesota and brutalization of its people, because this is what Dear Leader wants. They're indifferent to the fact that 80% of Minnesotans oppose this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Axios has a perfect record of serving as an uncritical manipulative mouthpiece for Trump, Kushner and Witkoff. Why should this be any different? The Iranians even intimate that Axios is engaged in corrupt insider trading with Kushner and Witkoss, which strikes me as just plausible, and horrific

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 18h agoRepublican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
TY for this. I took the screenshots to make it easier on folks to see the polls.
Kevin Hjelden@burntpopcorn.net · 18h agowww.270towin.com/2026-senate-... All through June and July it looked like El-Sayed was better against Rogers than Stevens. The first time I saw a recent poll the other way around was when I looked it up just now, in a single 600LV poll from last week, and one from a few days ago.
First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.
UN: Afghanistan’s dire hunger crisis now affects 14 million people including babies fed on little more than weak tea and bread by their despairing and dirt-poor parents.
That’s one of the things that is blowing my mind. l don’t think I ever saw a poll that showed El-Sayed beating the Republican. I could be wrong but I don’t remember seeing one. I saw several polls with Stevens beating the republican. When your only goal is to beat democrats that’s a problem.
Ebony Noor! I love garden season! ✊🏿@darlingebony.bsky.social · 20h agoI saw a poll from Michigan showing almost 70% of Black ppl are voting for Stevens. Why? My guess it's because it polls show her beating the Republican. Black ppl are pragmatic voters. There is no reason the Dems shouldn't win the Senate. But between Platner and El-Syed it's gonna be tight.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.
