Democrats resoundingly defend red district in Louisiana, denying GOP its first pickup Republicans have yet to flip a single legislative seat since Trump's return

I think our primary turnout will look at lot like that in special elections all over the country since Trump 2. Progressives will surge to the polls. In this climate, Roath has the best shot of any Lynch primary challenger going back 24 years. www.the-downballot.com/p/breaking-d...

He can have the decrepit, fetid corridor that connects the LIRR platforms to NJ Transit in the 7th circle of hell that is the still extant older Penn Station. Maybe we'll throw in a couple of public toilet stalls as a bonus. How's that?

Because Jesus loves torture and extraordinary rendition.

It's a deeply researched piece on the intersection of race, class, and the T. I learned a lot! Could also reference the thousands of low wage workers at Logan airport (many of whom are immigrants) who are stuck commuting on the crap Silver busmobile.

Amazing! thanks so much.

This brave man has single-handedly salvaged what little was left of any genuine spirituality at the National Prayer Breakfast. This is speaking truth to power in the best tradition of MLK.

Grampa looking mighty snoozy. Might need one of those robot sonograms!

Stephen Lynch Voted for Trump’s Detention Bill. Tonight, He Won’t Defend It. Lynch was the only Massachusetts representative to vote for the Laken Riley Act. One year ago, Trump signed it into law. This weekend, a man was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

Something I wrote before Patrick Roath's one-man-show in Boston last week. It was cold. His opponent did not show up, which was a shame. I had some questions on his record, especially about ICE and the Laken Riley Act

Great piece, Seth!

Am I a terrible person if I suggest he should not go?

Reagan's pink Cadillacs have been upgraded to Mercedes Benzes. Reagan was the OG.

This is some sort of harmonic convergence of evil.

MAGA Moonies, what could go wrong?

It was a commanding performance by Roath, learned a lot. Would have been even more commanding if Stephen Lynch had bothered to show up. His indifference to his constituents is duly noted.

Another one - like Rubio - who has sold his soul to the 👿, but doesn't seem to be able to lean in and enjoy it like, e.g., Scott Bessent with his perpetual smug smirk. Blanche seems miserable and is aging rapidly right in front of the camera's lens.

I always weight the "undecided" at 75% Trump. Beware the unearned optimism that leads to taking our foot off the gas even a little.

Cold outside but the crowd inside warmed up listening to @patrickroath.bsky.social answer questions about MA-08 race & issues. Hoped to hear from Lynch too. Great collaboration of @indivisible.org & @progressivemass.bsky.social groups across the district.

I think it would be fun to go dressed as meme Melania and then just cackle and snort in an unladylike manner the whole way through.

Roath has a real shot against Lynch. I've met and talked with him. Thoroughly decent and earnest, with values that align much more with the district's current composition. Louise Day Hicks era types are leaving the scene.

Patrick Roath is challenging Stephen Lynch in the September Democratic primary for the 8th CD in MA. Roath is a voting rights attorney with a history of deep progressive activism in the Commonwealth. He is up with a new ad:

Blue Virginia so well represented. Norfolk is in the house!

"strong" is one of the 50 or so words still left in his vocabulary. Soon that too will vanish.

Does he have a chill? Greatcoat envy from watching Bovino?

Why does Grandpa have his coat on indoors? We see this perpetual coldness in cardiac patients quite often.

"Take a Down Act"??? We know her English is primitive, but it might also be that the Botox and fillers are disabling key facial muscles needed to produce normal speech.

Blanche is aging before our eyes. The consequence of any effort heretofore to ascribe to a modicum of propriety been thrown over in service to the cult leader. Not sad.

It's surpassingly tragic that this script replays. But it is the hand that we -- and most importantly -- Renee Good and Alex Pretti were dealt.

Proof that mass mobilization works. Minneapolis has shown the way.
