CNN — Harris not running for CA-Gov does not mean she will run in 2028. Harris looking at non-profit or PAC work as well

Im with her.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I’d vote for her again. 💙

Ghislaine Maxwell is demanding immunity and pre-screened questions to testify before Congress. The GOP’s silence is deafening. When abusers & enablers make the rules, justice dies quietly. Who are Republicans trying to protect?

So far a spokesman for the committee said that it will not consider congressional immunity. The demands include the interview only happens after her SCOTUS ruling which will try to sidestep some legal issue with the immunity she is currently trying to achieve.

Roy Cooper has officially secured the Democrat nomination for North Carolina’s Senate race. A two-term governor with a proven record on healthcare, education, and protecting democracy. Cooper enters as the strongest possible challenger to Trumps MAGA machine. The path to flipping NC just got real 👀

True that, democrats got their S tier candidate in NC, what’s left is Texas and Maine

The best Democratic candidate recently, really hope he wins the seat 💙 bsky.app/profile/capi...

In politics it’s not uncommon for a candidate to be considered the presumptive nominee well before the formal primary if there’s no serious competition. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Unless a major candidate suddenly enters the race (which is unlikely) Cooper is the nominee in all but name.

- recognition, a strong fundraising base, and the backing of key Democratic figures.

While the official primary for North Carolina’s Senate seat is scheduled for 2026, Roy Cooper is effectively the Democratic nominee because no major Democratic challengers have stepped forward, and the party machinery is already coalescing behind him. He’s a two-term governor with high name 1/?

He has officially secured the role of presumptive Democratic nominee given his opponents dropped out to support him instead, making the Democratic Party in NC unite behind him

The whole point of our post is that the path for him is officially secured and he is the Democratic presumptive nominee

He has pretty much secured it given his opponents cancelled their campaign and decided to support him instead

Thanks for the tip. “Democratic” is the formal adjective, but using “Democrat” like that isn’t always disrespectful it’s common in casual speech and many don’t see it as rude. Just depends on tone. Although we will keep it in mind

I type casually in the comments on purpose. It’s a social post, not an essay. 😄

I simply explained the reasoning behind using “Democrat” instead of “Democratic”.

Democrat Wiley Nickel to suspend US Senate campaign, will endorse Roy Cooper, sources say The former congressman will drop out of the US Senate race and endorse fellow Democrat Roy Cooper, sources told ABC11.

Wiley Nickel has suspended his U.S. Senate campaign and endorsed Roy Cooper, clearing the Democratic primary path. abc11.com/post/nc-midt...

For the people commenting were aware it’s “democratic”, we chose democrat so we could fit within Bluesky’s post character limit ❤️

It is hard to cover developing news stories on Bluesky due to not having the ability to directly edit posts as the story develops (like on Twitter) 😅

But we’re trying our best on Bluesky as we believe it’s a better platform.

However we’ve updated our post and they’re currently on their way back to Texas.

Bluesky doesn’t have an “edit post” option and we apologise for the inconvenience

After days of mulling a quorum break, some Texas Democrats have left the state – but they'll be right back Because the state representatives will return from California and Illinois the same day they left, their trips are not considering a quorum break.

Update: Texas Democrats have travelled to California, New York and other states to discuss with Democratic governors on how to combat Republican gerrymandering.

They will not deny quorum anymore due to returning on the same day they left. www.kvue.com/article/news...

my apologies, I made this post earlier (and due to Bluesky not having a edit option) I cannot edit it however I will make a comment on the post itself with a follow up

We got the “deny quorum” from our friends at LTE (Let’s Talk Elections) when the story just broke out

Pritzker meets with Texas Democrats to respond to GOP redistricting plans ahead of midterms Gov. JB Pritzker met with lawmakers from Texas Friday, as Democrats try to map out a strategy to respond to Republican congressional redistricting plans ahead of the 2026 elections.

Democratic lawmakers did flee the state to deny quorum and discuss strategies to respond to the congressional redistricting plans

I did not explicitly say *all* Texas Democratic lawmakers departed, u can read in my graphic “more than a dozen have left for Illinois and California”
