I think the most upsetting part of all of this is that voters treated 2024 like it was a game. Now the people in charge of a war think it is a game, and the people in charge of telling the public about it (the media) are pretending it's all a game, too.

But real people are dying.

Talarico’s gop friends are already attacking him.

Huh.

2/? I wish more people would study Jesse Jackson and his Presidential Campaigns of 1984 and 1988. I remember in real time by 1992 watching "Meet the Press" and they had a whole round table about what the Dems needed to do to get Jesse to not run again 1992.

Welp

And now here we are.. Trump starts a war without congressional approval or approval from the majority of Americans, but now we have to pay the full bill for whatever he decides he wants to do because it would be unpatriotic not to let Trump do whatever he wants with our money.

just an observation:

seems like a lot of peoole don't really care about voter suppression when it helps their preferred candidate.

This feels like it's a test run for November or 2028. They will learn when their fave is impacted. The Texas GOP could use the same playbook in Harris County in November.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

GOP Senate Advantage
The GOP has a major advantage in the Senate because in federal elections there are 24 reliably red states, 19 reliably blue states including NH & 7 battleground states.
Democrats currently hold 10/14 battleground state seats, but are still the minority party in the Senate.
1️⃣/4️⃣

Wow: It appears Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) will not run for reelection.

This comes just days after Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) also announced he will not seek reelection.

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

So vibes then.

“They got it” —ancient African American proverb

I mean hear me out White people, close your eyes and imagine a world that tells you, no matter how qualified, experienced or leader focused you are. People won't vote for you because you are white...

This is what you tell Black people all the time as an excuse for why "people won't vote for them."

I will put it bluntly:

If we allow the Democratic Party to become the party of justifying SS tattoos and misogynoir, we will be no better than the GQP.

I am John Lewis, Rep Clyburn and Joe Biden Democrat.

If this party become the party of Graham Planter, we become all we fought for eons.

SOMEONE GET JON FUCKING TESTER ON THE PHONE

Homophobia form Platner: just like Tulsi Gabbard, doesn’t matter how homophobic a person is Bernie will still endorse.

"On Graham’s tattoo: Graham is not a Nazi and has never had a Nazi tattoo. Graham got a skull and crossbones tattoo in his early 20’s. A common tattoo among Marines. When Graham learned the symbol resembled an image also used by Nazis, he got the image removed and has been transparent about his journey. The Army checks for any tattoos with hate symbols and does not allow individuals with them to serve or enlist, Graham’s tattoos were examined by military doctors and there was never any issue. Obviously, Graham isn’t a Nazi. If he was, he probably would have hidden the tattoo from the public and from his Jewish family members. We have actual Nazis running for office in Maine and this is a baseless character attack. "

so this is purportedly volunteer guidance from the Platner campaign. to be clear Platner did get a Nazi Tattoo, it does not "look like" it is, he has not been "transparent" about his journey because he's still lying about it

There has not been a single negative ad aired against Platner yet, so his number vs Collins is inflated. #mepolitics

okay not the way I want it to be, but far from the "oh just die, he's terrible but up by 400% so there's no hope to stop him" narrative people have been pushing, 3 months lets turn this shit around and burry a Nazi.

Multiple reporters are saying that Montana Sen. Steve Daines will NOT seek reelection.

The state's candidate filing deadline was *tonight*, and it's already passed. Not clear whether the GOP has a serious alternative in the race. x.com/JSAmbarian/s...

Now THAT'S how you destabilize the Middle East.

Well, isn’t this 👇 wording telling. Tea Party, huh? 🤔 😒

FWIW here’s who’s running in the Democratic primary; I don’t know anything about any of them:

‘Abbott Elementary’ has been renewed for Season 6 by ABC.

While I’m sickened to see him leading at all, this seems a lot more realistic than that absurd poll last week showing him up more than 2:1.
