With Danny Davis retiring in #IL07, it's worth wondering if a progressive candidate can win this Chicago seat.

They came close in 2022, with Kina Collins nearly defeating Davis. Collins won big near downtown and in the People's Republic of Oak Park, but lost by six points.

Political Sex Scandal Rocks Lowcountry GOP - FITSNews State senator publicly called out by his wife, who sits on one of the largest school boards in the Palmetto State...

Craziest state legislative story this week has to be the South Carolina State Senator who cheated on his wife, was publicly called out on it on Facebook by his wife, and then his wife finished by saying that she was still proud of him for being a conservative.

While the Pennsylvania Dems have to defend several Trump-won districts in order to keep their House majority, there's one Harris/Republican district for the taking.

That being #HD160, a Harris+5 seat in suburban Philly that re-elected Republican Craig Williams by 4 last year.

Nestled in southeastern Arizona, #AZ06 has been a major battleground district the last few cycles.

After flipping it in 2022, Republican Juan Ciscomani held on to it in 2024 by just 2.5% as Trump carried it by one. It's definitely going to be competitive again next year.

The strong recruitment for 2026 from Illinois Democrats keeps on coming as Wheaton City Councilwoman Erica Bray Parker has launched a run for #HD47, a Republican-held, Harris+11 seat in the Wheaton area!

❤️

Illinois's #HD118 is really the only competitive non-metro St. Louis district in southern Illinois, a far cry from the olden days of southern Illinois Democratic dominance.

Even then, this district (which stretches from Carbondale to Cairo) backed Trump by 16 points last year.

State Representative Nabeela Syed has officially entered the race for #SD26 here in Illinois!

Amazing recruit for the Dems, she’s been a strong candidate in both of her State House runs and is now in the driver’s seat to flip this Harris+9 district

Dick Durbin starting his Congressional career by being an AIPAC-backed candidate who beat a pro-Palestine Republican incumbent and ending his career by voting to block arms transfers to Israel is a hell of a career trajectory.

Why does a random North Carolina State Legislative Democrat just start spewing off right-wing talking points every couple of years?

Like, this is a State Rep who has served since 2012 with no major controversies before this and now she's spouting xenophobic rhetoric like a real chud

If the Wisconsin Democrats want to stand any chance of flipping the State Senate next year, they need to win #SD05 in the western suburbs of Milwaukee.

This district backed Harris by six points last year, which was nearly double Biden's winning margin here.

If Alexi runs, he's going to be backed by the labor/business groups, so probably Vasquez if he does decide to run

She took all of Willie Wilson's voters from 2019 (Magenta = Wilson, Green = Lightfoot) and traded all of her voters to Johnson.

Honestly wouldn't be shocked to see the same thing happen to Brandon in 2027, with his north side votes going to the least hitlerite candidate running

Last year, Minnesota had a low-key special election for State Senate in #SD45. It happened at the same time as the Presidential election and it almost led to the GOP flipping the chamber!

However, the Dems were able to keep control of the Senate by 5 in this Harris+16 district.

First major endorsement for Kat Abu in #IL09 comes from Ro Khanna!

Elizabeth Warren backed Daniel Biss a few weeks back, so now we’ll see if other major progressives (AOC/Bernie) endorse here

Bit surprised they gave up on OH-01

Listen, someone had to counterpunch all the laser eyed-teens on Twitter submitting the most egregious anti-VRA Republican gerrymanders to the Texas redistricting portal.

And that someone was me

Last year, the Republicans won the Congressional Delegate election in the Northern Mariana Islands.

America's smallest occupied territory saw the Republicans win the Congressional Delegate race here for the first time ever, despite losing the "major" population center of Saipan.

As someone who seriously had to read on the hellsite that Zohran's win here didn't matter because he "only" won Bed-Stuy, thank you for this map lol

Did you know that Illinois used to elect Lieutenant Governors separately from Governors? Up until 1968, the two offices were elected separately instead of on one combined ticket.

The last Lieutenant Governor to win on his own was State Senator/future US Senator Paul Simon!

Orland Park DMV abruptly closing after trustee vote, Illinois secretary of state says One of Illinois' busiest Secretary of State facilities is abruptly closing after Orland Township trustees voted to revoke its lease.

Earlier this year, voters in suburban Orland Township gave Republicans a majority on the Township Board (mostly thanks to two moderate groups taking up the center/left vote). Their first order of business? Close down a busy local DMV in the name of "security concerns"

In probably the biggest example of how bad things got for Vermont Democrats in 2024, they managed to lose #SDGrandIsle in the State Senate.

This was despite the district backing Kamala Harris for President by almost 34 POINTS.

Illinois can do better than a painfully generic Democrat who voted for multiple GOP crypto bills

We're 8 months out from the Illinois Primary and I just saw my first ad for it, an ad from Congressman/Senate candidate Raja Krishnamoorthi.

Juliana Stratton pls start spending Pritzker's money, PLEASE!

What he always complains about, people not agreeing with him online

I don't know, he invents strawmen to yell at every other day

There's this phenomenon that exists where the more popular you get, the more out-of-touch and hesitant to criticism you become.

Moral of the story, stay humble and you won't have this problem :)

Well if someone is calling you annoying, there's probably a really simple explanation for that...

You are annoying

A lot of the city is deep blue, but once you leave the U of I area, it’s more downballot Republican friendly (still decently Democratic though)
