Congratulations to my new Senator and one of the nicest guys on the planet, James Andrew Malone!

Let me be very clear: @maloneforsenate.bsky.social, @stellasexton.bsky.social, and Joyce Stephens get to take a huge victory lap for this. Incredible work and an incredible campaign.

Opinion | This Democratic Playbook Just Flipped a Trump District In Iowa (Gift Article) A focus on bread-and-butter issues, not the culture wars, helped an Iowa Democrat win in a red area. His playbook is now being used in Pennsylvania.

I’m quoted today in the NYT regarding Lancaster County’s 36th State Senate special election. Our candidate is Mayor James Malone. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Getting in at #11 here and feel good about it

Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else

Do not panic Organize

Here in Lancaster County, PA, we’ve got a special election on March 25 for the 36th State Senate District. We can elect Democrat James Andrew Malone, currently the Mayor of East Petersburg, to this seat. If you can help go to LancasterDems.com.

We’ve got a state senate special here in PA 36 on March 25

Well, regional differences then. I’d call a kettle the thing that sits on the stove

Americans don’t usually use them (and if you asked for a kettle here no one would understand that you meant an electric water boiler). We would not expect a household or rental to have one. Generally people just microwave the water.

Lmao so every media outlet on the planet was writing about Biden's decline like 10 times a day, but somehow the swarm of Capitol Hill reporters missed an entire congressperson just not even being there?

That’s my great new state rep!

Elf on a Shelf isn’t even 20 years old. Slam dunk that freak into the nearest toilet. Enough

still adding accounts but if you want a one click to block all these “there are only two gender” fuckknuckles you can sub to this list

Thanks for the reminder, I have to do my survey!

Sending Spit to Ms. Safron Walter Huss and the little-known subculture of "Granola Nazis"

This sense that one's entitled to a special degree of economic security due to one's whiteness, but wch one has been denied, also explains the rt wing fascination w/ multi-level marketing schemes. There's always a "secret" to prosperity they've kept from you. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/sending-sp...

I can read a lot faster than I can listen to someone talking out the words, so an audiobook feels very plodding and annoying to me. Same reason I don’t listen to podcasts, just give me a transcript.

Raw milk cheeses frequently makes people sick in France. And for the record: raw milk cheeses are legal in the US. Grafton cheddar makes theirs from raw milk. It's raw milk SOFT cheeses that are not. Aging kills the bacteria.

i'm not super invested in bluesky, it's another social media network, maybe it lasts, maybe it doesn't, but what i'm *extremely* tickled by is the growing chorus of angry elite tastemakers being outraged that their social media influence is being eclipsed by, like, thomas the train's juicy caboose

Hey family! What we doing this weekend? Me? I’ll be starting a deep dive into the PA Dems and why we lost the state. Putting on my researcher hat via my company Speyside Research. Collective. Wanna join? Lay researchers WELCOME!

The amount of human misery and death that has been prevented by vaccines is outside the scope of anyone's capacity to imagine, and people who want to reverse that progress are simply monsters

guys it's 2024.... you don't have to follow seth abramson. free yourself of the man who published a book of his own tweet threads

Gurdeep is here!

I’m one of the few Dems in NYC who even RUNS a general election campaign, and the only one who ran a robust field op. We ran ahead of top of the ticket.

Excellence matters. A lot of folks w/ poor campaign fundamentals are now blaming “wokism” but haven’t held a town hall or knocked a door all cycle

If other government agencies join Bluesky and become your favorite agency just remember who was here first and who has two eagles in their logo.
