Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social · 8h agoOn Sunday I wrote about the ferocious effort by the El-Sayed camp to flood the zone with polls to create a false impression of the strength of his candidacy, and argued that the race was likely going to be closer than people expected.

This 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.
TAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

Lost in the chatter about Todd Blanche and Trump's slush fund is the fact that anti-abortion Senators have demanded Blanche do a whole mess of things for them. The judiciary committee votes Tuesday morning. We're in the danger zone
Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · last wk.In the past month, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee have asked Todd Blanche to: *review DOJ's stance on the Comstock Act, a law antis claim bans all abortions *force FDA to end abortion pills via telehealth to settle a lawsuit *fan flames about abortions later in pregnancy this is all Bad News
We could have had the smart Black Lady with the funny laugh. Once again BW are going to get hit the hardest by this. Black folks only make up around 14% of the population but they provide 22% of social workers. They also carry higher debt & make less. Look at the other careers on the list
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.
Sen. HIRONO: I can’t vote in favor of someone whose actions so clearly show he’s ineligible to serve even a department as compromised as this Department of Justice, which is basically a Department of Retribution and Revenge.
Capital One disclosed in a court filing that it shut down hundreds of Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns. President Trump has maintained that his businesses were "debanked" for political reasons, and the Trump Organization sued Capital One last year. https://cnn.it/4xiOF0T
Thank you to this wonderful group for having me in Muskegon Heights this morning. I was born and raised in Michigan by two small business owners who taught me grit and hard work. Those values made me the fighter I am today for MI’s small businesses.
Yep. Voting is a privilege and a responsibility. I was raised that way, and I raised my kids with that in their ear too. WE ALWAYS VOTE.
💊 Do you remember the healthcare benefits brought by the Inflation Reduction Act? The Democratic Party's strong legislation led to successful negotiations for Medicare, which lowered the prices of essential medications for diabetes and heart disease, easing the financial burden on senior citizens.
ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"

Maudi63@maudi63.bsky.social · 9mo agoBtw, Hogg met with Platner and had a ride on his boat before Platner even announced his candidacy because the same day Platner did announce, August 19th, Hogg reposted it with a pic of them together 👇, which obviously happened prior. Hogg’s official endorsement didn’t happen until October 14th. 👇
It's great having my friend Rep. Hillary Scholten join me on the campaign trail today!
Another weekend, another community shattered by a gunman armed with an assault-style rifle — this time in Twin Falls, Idaho at an In-N-Out Burger, where three people were killed and seven others were wounded.

Comparing anything to Swift and Kelce doesn't make Warren more relevant much less "cool" either the kids. And I have questions for her about her progressive friends: bsky.app/profile/whyn...
Arlene@whynotaduck.bsky.social · 4d agoThe reason is clear: DSA-style “progressives” get rich complaining about the rich. So far in 2026, Bernie Sanders has raised $24 million & has spent over $11 million. How the f-k does a sitting Senator in a safe seat spend $11 million?
Hot takes: Like him or not, the mayor of one city is not the future of all politics & one PAC and their donations should not be a litmus test for all evils in the world. The fans of one who are the same ones pushing the other are some of the silliest sounding populists at almost Trump like levels.

Wait, Biden won despite reaching out to GOP voters? That can’t be true. Which of these policies of hers did you find least progressive? Please share. Then, time for you to dig deep on what your issues with her are really about. Good luck!🍸

This is what the online left, who support El-Sayed, have been doing to Stevens, McMorrow, and their supporters for the last 16 months. They (and many, like here, are not from Michigan) turn every forum, online and in-person, into a toxic platform for bullying and abuse. www.wcmu.org/local-region...

Jeremy Moss was my state senator before Michigan redistricting in 2021, and I've voted for him in the #MI-11 House Dem primary this year. He's an outstanding public official. I've heard nothing about this Faroooi person until a few days ago, and after this I don't want to hear anything more. Vile.
This is just a small sample of what we're going to see from leftists going forward. Bullying, aggression toward candidates should not be tolerated. They've weaponized "AIPAC" more than they've denounced fascim and all the ugliness trump has brought with it. We must not tolerate that.
