RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state House seat in Arkansas.

This is their 2nd flip of a legislative seat so far in 2025 (after a Texas flip in January), & it adds to a tremendous trend that started last year, when they flipped 21% of all GOP-held seats in play: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

Ooof. Kamala endorsement as a D having the same effect a Trump endorsement has on Rs these days

Oh my. Yes. They're testing the fences

Solid Snake is losing his primary. Will return to Shadow Moses

Oh... it's time to start watching Arkansas: Democrats are significantly ahead so far in a special election for a GOP-held legislative seat. If this is confirmed, it'd be Democrats' second flip so far this year.

Right now Jasmine's best hope comes from keeping down the margins in Bexar County we literally have another Crockett making their last stand at the Alamo

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Man get outta here

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

1️⃣ Last summer, a Democratic lawmaker in North Carolina gave the GOP *the* decisive vote to pass a pro-ICE law.

Now, she faces a primary from a local progressive pastor who has been part of the Moral Monday movement.

(A few other Dems who helped the GOP also face challengers.)

Passing a pro ICE law got this incumbent Dem steamrolled. I hope @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social sees this shit. Overwhelming anger at ICE. So unless you're a Republican, get on board or quit.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Why I think reproductive choice is a more accurate framing than the right to abortion because there are a lot of women people would much rather see never have children again.

Colts to consider transition tag for Daniel Jones, but what does that mean? The deadline to use the franchise or transition tag is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and the Colts haven't struck deals with Jones or Alec Pierce.

Our James Boyd is reporting that the Colts are considering the transition tag for Daniel Jones with some really good reported context as to why: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Talked about Murray in depth with @danpizzuta.bsky.social on the pod. But in short: A bunch of teams *should* take a swing here…and Kyler *should* prefer Minnesota.

I'M HERE FOR IT. Kyler to Minnesota

This is a very good point. Naziism being normalized in our party is giving the opposition endless ammo and also a free pass to do more Roman salutes. All you people who got this guy where he is today, congrats.

DUDE I KNEW IT

I see outlets already getting stuff wrong, so: if you’re media trying to write about Bryan Betancur, I have way more information about his background than anyone else who can go on the record. DMs are open.

The thing that is actually making me insane is the hair stuff is NOT the worst shit he's done, and I'm frustrated and angry by the idea that it is.

Hollow Opposition On Iran, top Democrats only have procedural concerns

I wrote about how Democratic leadership has abandoned the moral high ground on Iran, and how it has left them toothless when opposing Trump.

He looks like the hotel manager who just photobombed a bachelor party

Who can I relate to more, the candidate who is actively on a dating website for people his own age or the guy who is protecting a pedophile ring? Hm.
