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…
ictnews.org/politics/ele... She had a leftist challenger and I am glad to see she won. I don't like her position on Gaza/Isreal tho it is evolving in the right direction. Bottomline: she's probably the only Dem who can win in her district and she votes right every time on domestic issues

For crying out loud, it's the progs/DSA who can't be bothered to know domestic policy positions. If they did, they'd know that Haley and Abdul were very similar and Haley had a great track record on worker issues. Yes it is racist to claim that Haley voters were tricked by big money.
tachi@tachimine.bsky.social · 17h agoomfg I know they did not put that "Black people are low IQ voters" shit in writing? We vote for "progressive" policies. And by "progressive" policies I mean the policies that help us and will move the country forward.

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

It’s only 8 AM and I’m already tired of takes blaming voters for going out and stating their preferences in a primary election. Getting mad at voters, hundreds of thousands of them, for voting for who they wanted and not who you think was “savvy” is foolish.
It isn't mending fences to sneer at and demean Haley's voters as mindless peons who got manipulated by big money. Her track record on domestic policy issues was very good (no she was not a big money sell out on worker issues) and we should respect the fact that some voters appreciated that.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 14h agoEl-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters defeated a GOP bid to limit their ability to amend the state constitution. The measure was the GOP's attempt to diminish the power of voters who’ve used citizen initiatives to expand Medicaid and protect abortion access.
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure,…

The Democratic party has been for democracy and socialism since before most DSA members were born and is the source of the ideas in the DSA domestic policy platform. Give the fucking credit where it is due or STFU.

This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

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

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2d agoJames Talarico: Today is the the anniversary of Ken Paxton’s famous mugshot. What's fascinating about that story is that he was scamming his own friends. If Ken Paxton is willing to scam his own friends for a quick buck, what makes you think he's not going to scam you in the United States Senate?
There shouldn’t even be a question about this. If politicians are dying their power to personally benefit and become wealthy off the American people, then they have no place running out government!
