Georgia Democrats oust two GOP incumbents in Public Service Commission special election Longtime commissioner Tim Echols ousted in district 2 contest.

In what just might be the most shocking result of the night, the two Democrats who won seats on Georgia's Public Service Commission did so by nearly *20 points*, making them the first Democrats to win statewide state government elections in *20 years*.

Nassau is pretty big for cops too

I hope Democrats unveil their new “TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE” policy tomorrow. America is ready.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

this is genuinely wild

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

My parents are sane but holy hell, brains be cooking out on the island.

It's basically as if they were all living in Nassau County.

I didn't believe my mom when she told me there are no young people on Long Island... But holy shit there really must not be. How are they voting straight GOP still???

How reliable is polling from bsck then?

Just curious, not disagreeing.

Why is everyone so desperate to win over MAGA people? I don't get it. There are more than enough non-MAGA people in this country.

Doesn't read like that to me. Reads to me like he's sarcastically suggesting that had they endorsed earlier, it would've hurt his campaign (obviously the whole thing is ridiculous, but given who he is, what's the reason for giving benefit of the doubt?)

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Is anyone actually upset about the tiktok part?

What's wrong is her implication that people are protesting Israel because they don't know history.

Meanwhile, we're protesting it because *we do* understand history, and Israel has committed genocide.

In NYC, no less. I'm sure his endorsement would've really moved the needle.

It also ignores many other reps who felt the need to announce their oppo to Mamdani despite.... No reason to do so. Like, these fuckers have gone out of their way to attack him

I've stopped believing wealthy liberals who recognize the rest of their lives are at stake exist, though evidence should suggest otherwise.

Do the endorsements from Trump and his underlings do more to help or hurt Cuomo? (or just.... Nothingness)

Still, Twitter is a bit too cooked for me to trust it we the canary.

But definitely toss this onto the other evidence still piling up.

I've long said I believed Ben Shapiro to be the canary in the coal mine for when the far right begins to explicitly push Jews out of the Republican party. The canary just metaphorically died.

Your periodic reminder that the NYP is a racist trash rag run by fascists.

"You're already gonna win so why you walk'n around for?"

"You gotta work every day for it! It's New York, ain't nothin done!"

Fuck! Sorry for you! And also, this makes me really worried about a shift in Teen Vogue's (up till now) really reliable coverage.

The Washington Post Has Become Right-Wing Even Faster Than I Thought It’s not going to happen. It’s happening: The mainstream media is becoming right-wing. What are wealthy liberals going to do about it?

Michael Tomasky: "I have said this before, and I’ll say it again here: We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings."

CNN: Hakeem Jeffries was asked this morning if you're the future of the democratic party. He said no.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Good to know.

CNN: Do you have a response?

MAMDANI: No. I'm focused on the next two days.

Can they legally prevent private companies from offering discounts?

"how do I reach you" on a platform with direct messaging.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.

Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.
