The 75 Elections to Watch This March - Bolts The 2026 midterms really are starting. Five states hold all of their primaries for federal and state offices in March, and voters there face high-profile choices. They’ll decide which Democrat... Read...

NEW: We're there. The midterms really are starting.

March has the year's 1st supreme court race. Primaries for Senate, AG, & legislature. Sheriff & DA races rocked by ICE. Special elections that may flip. Even a minimum wage measure!

My guide of the *75* elections to watch in March:

Well he had to make his new bestie Nicki Minaj happy.

There is an email involved in the Epstein files where they redacted Jx. I found it using the search term β€œwordsmith”.

However there is another email I found using the search term β€œHave fun o the 4th” where you get the unredacted name.

Clearly someone screwed up in redacting here.

It’s based on this shirt from Garry Tan. (I’m not endorsing these guys. Just pointing out where the probably got their color scheme from)

This is not meant as Paul Graham defense. This is meant to shame the rest of them for not speaking up.

Sadly Paul Graham is probably the best tech has got right now.

If the man said this about Charlie Kirk he would have been fired.

Glad to see this fire from a lot of Democrats.

Just need to do something about the stragglers who votes to fund ICE. They owe us apologies.

People like to rant about how open borders are a bad policy but with assholes like these patrolling the border I can’t see how open borders aren’t preferable.

We should not strive to be a pro-government death squad country.

Hopefully a Democratic administration coming in can at least honor these rapid responders.

Y’all are doing great work with a minimal amount of outside support.

This struck me as one of those executions you saw during the Vietnam War. Disturbing as hell.

This apologism comes from people who defend everything Democrats do. Their default is the party is never wrong. The party has only been wronged by the voters.

These are the kinds of people who think the right move was ending the shutdown in November.

Clearly the B1G is such a superior conference that you know Rutgers would have gone 10-2 anywhere else. 😏

The proper solution by the Democrat party would be to demolish the institutions supporting Trump.

Punish universities that gave in to β€œanti-semitism” pressure.
Deny airtime and support to complicit media.
Cut the military down significantly.
Wealth tax on the billionaires.

We’ll see none of that.

The people of Bayview-Hunters Point have been asking to get this cleaned up for decades. The Navy doesn’t care about their plight.

If you are elected I hope you can force the Navy to do something about this. Maybe take it from the funds for an aircraft carrier. πŸ™‚

The comment section mad about this skeet for not going far enough yet Elon thinking this tweet went too far and suspending you is a good encapsulation of where America’s at today.

What was their reaction to Trump’s comment that we shouldn’t have an election?

(I mean this in good faith. I think a lot of people are reacting today because of Trump’s recent vocal comment. People who otherwise wouldn’t care about midterm safety.)

Why do I need to offer a mechanism for an opinion I’ve never said I hold?

I’m talking about how to address people’s concerns. Not my view on whether the concerns are proper.

And by insulting them you are validating their opinion that you cannot say why this time is different.

If your aim is to convince people I would avoid insulting them.

I don’t know. These fears come from a place of people being told Trump can’t do X thing before he just does X thing. They are tired of being told Project 2025 was not a credible plan or that Trump wasn’t serious about foreign invasions.
Acknowledge that before saying why this X thing is different.

I think rather than worrying about trying to tamp down those concerns, it’s more important to channel them into positive action.

ICE forces are meeting active peaceful resistance. People worried about him messing with midterms need to be ready to fight attempts by Trump to mess with them.

No Legal Basis for Invading Venezuela 1989’s U.S. military action in Panama offers no constitutional cover for Trump’s Venezuela attack.

Trump doesn’t have legal authority to rename the buildings he did.

Trump didn’t have legal authority to let DOGE do whatever it did.

Trump didn’t have legal authority to do what he did in Venezuela. (www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...)

Legal authority isn’t going to stop him from sending ICE.

@angiecraigmn.bsky.social was the ONLY Minnesota Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act. The only one to vote to praise ICE.

Even today, with ICE in our streets, she stands by her pro-Trump votes.

Or just pass a wealth tax and watch them run for the hills.

Again everything you advocate for is good but we need to drum up power to beat them and our usual playbook doesn’t give us platforms to exercise power.
