Uh, all the precincts are reporting in the North Carolina #SD26 Republican primary and State Senate President Phil Berger is losing by TWO VOTES!

Sam Page- 50.00% (13,077)
Phil Berger (Inc)- 50.00% (13,075)

Wasserman calls it first

Yikes

I've seen enough: Sen. John Cornyn (R) and Ken Paxton (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TXSEN.

Gonazles up by 51 votes with an estimated 7% in

Looks like Democrats are out-voting Republicans in both the TX and NC Senate primaries

Over in North Carolina's #SD26, which has become one of the most expensive races in state history, State Senate President Phil Berger is currently LOSING his primary to Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page:

Sam Page- 54.1%
Phil Berger (Inc)- 45.9%

BIG lead for Alex Holladay in the early vote in the Arkansas #HD70 (Harris+2) special election. Very much on track for a flip for the Dems here tonight in suburban Little Rock

Herrara takes lead!

Herrera 366
Gonazles 309
Barton 58
Canseco 26

Herrara not reaching 50% but close

Seems like they are both doing well with their bases but Talarico showing strength in Latino areas

No but Talarico up in nearby counties

A trickle of votes in TX23

Gonazles 185
Herrera 179
Barton 30
Canseco 20

(Gonzales under 50%)

Talarico takes overall lead over Crockett thanks to 76-23 split in Travis County (Austin)

Crockett (D) wins Harris Co. (Houston) early vote 54%-45% over Talarico (D), but that's not good enough w/ Talarico dominating heavily Hispanic counties. #TXSEN

As expected, Talarico (D) dominating Austin area home base, winning Hays Co. 74%-26%. He's the heavy favorite based on everything we've seen so far. #TXSEN

Still early but looking like a weak 2nd for Chip Roy, although good enough for runoff if Middleton stays under 50

A strong result for Talarico in Nueces County, home to Corpus Chrisi, 62% to 36%... and also a strong result for Crockett in Fort Bend County, in the Houston region, 60% to 36%. Mixed signals here.

Buckle up

You think American election nerds are sickos? Here's IranWire covering the jockeying for Supreme Leader iranwire.com/en/news/1498...

Again, Rubio said the opposite yesterday bsky.app/profile/bill...

All the Ways Trump’s War on Iran Is Disastrous We should be deeply disturbed about what follows the targeted assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"Whether what’s left of the Iranian government—whose constitution has a process for succession—will let Trump meddle remains to be seen. But neither Trump nor the Iranian government is seeking a transition to democracy. Khamenei’s death is the death of a dictator, not a new birth of freedom... "

Directly contradicts Rubio: “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them …we would suffer higher casualties” www.state.gov/releases/off...

"...people sitting right next door in Iran, young people and many others, will say 'the time of such regimes, of such despots, is gone"

Periodic reminder that Sen. Kennedy was a Democrat who endorsed John Kerry for president

"'Normal international relations' are impossible if a head of state can be murdered whenever another head of state feels like it."

@billscher.bsky.social on why we should be deeply disturbed about what follows the targeted assassination of a foreign leader.

What’s up with Thanedar in the red?

It may be that Trump wasn’t completely forthright with Tucker!

“The unholy matrimony of American military proficiency and Trump’s megalomania produces dramatic content. It does not lead us to policies enabling peace, freedom, and stability.”
