every single person in the Maine senate race comes out looking awful: -Mills for being an awful candidate -Schumer/Gillibrand for recruiting Mills and discouraging others from running -Platner for being a sicko -the activists/unions who recruited platner -Collins for being a fascist enabler

It must be so frustrating to Brad Lander and other Jewish people to be treated like they aren’t Jewish.

Gonna run for congress on a platform of "I have dreams about Serbia. I revere Serbia. Serbia has a right to exist as a Serbian nation. First country I visit will be Serbia. The Bay Area is the Belgrade of the United States. No I'm not Serbian." and then absolutely fucking crash out when i don't win

Melat Kiros was born in the same year that DeGette first won election to the House. Wild.

There is now set to be at least eight democratic socialists in Congress. Melat Kiros – alongside Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

Tomorrow, Colorado has an opportunity to elect a new generation of leadership. @melatkirosco.bsky.social is a 29-year-old organizer who was fired for speaking out for Palestinian liberation. She isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right, and she'll bring this moral clarity to Congress.

I’m running for Congress! It’s time for a new generation of leadership to tackle the greatest issues facing everyday Americans: housing affordability, healthcare, and the rising cost of living. Learn more about the campaign at KirosforCO.com!

BREAKING: Melat Kiros has won the Democratic primary in Colorado’s 1st district. The democratic socialist has unseated the district’s 29-year incumbent by running on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, ending forever wars and more.

It's not mental-or-civic health best practices to closely observe the General Assembly on the final day of the session - when all the dirt gets done – but this is absolutely classic Delaware Way stuff. Fight hard to write a weak bill, then gut it at the last minute to appease a powerful interest.

"The states and federal government accused Cal-Maine Foods, Versova and Hickman’s Egg Ranch of a behind-the-scenes arrangement to “artificially inflate the daily price quotations for eggs” between June 2022 and March 2025" so basically most of the biden presidency how weird

Not only is it a skill issue but "You need to work within the system and within the Party" is what the people freaking out about this have explicitly been telling critics to do for decades. I guess they didn't mean it, didn't think anyone would try, or were confident it couldn't work.

There are only two types of US citizen: Naturalized and Birth. If you’re a citizen and you didn’t swear an oath of citizenship at a naturalization ceremony, you are a birthright citizen. When radical Republicans talk about birthright citizenship, they’re talking about _you_.

A downballot result: In the highest-profile Democratic primary for Colorado's state Senate, the progressive side has easily prevailed. Chela Garcia Irlando, an environmental advocate, has won over Andrés Carrera, a former staffer for Governor Jared Polis.

This sucks. Hickenlooper is trash, and Colorado deserves better. But the fact that its this close should serve as a warning to other centrist Dems to shape up

RESULT: In an upset, even if it was looking likelier in recent weeks, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has defeated Senator Michael Bennet for the Democratic primary for governor. Bennet has been the state's centrist senator since his 2008 win. He'll stay in the Senate (term ends in 2028).

Colorado's left also having a strong legislative night. Of 2 Dem state representatives facing a challenge from left, one trails; other is tied 50/50. In the highest-profile open state Senate seat, the progressive-backed candidate is crushing a former Jared Polis aide.

FUCKING EGG CARTEL

Co-sign @stevevladeck.bsky.social. It may feel good to purge Trump holdovers under the next Democratic president. But the deeper damage that Slaughter inflicts on the infrastructure of our democracy will ultimately cause way more pain. www.stevevladeck.com/p/236-three-...

More of my friends showed up to support me when my YMCA dance class in high school did a recital at a local restaurant, and I wasn't even doing anything besides dancing in the back in one group number.

This invites further challenges from an emboldened reactionary movement that aims to end any vestige of legal protection for communities of color. The U.S. Supreme Court is an enemy of human rights and the system that created it needs to be dismantled root to branch.

Accepting this case rather than denying a writ of certiorari and upholding the lower courts shifts the frame as to what is permissible or plausible legal argument and constitutional principle in this country.

The US Supreme Court should not have taken up the Trump administration’s case on whether the 14th Amendment actually ensures birthright citizenship, something that has been long settled. Doing so was racist overreach.

my god

HBO declined to renew the deal they made with Sesame Workshop. Next yr all Sesame eps will be removed from the service. Going forward new episodes are on Netflix and PBS. Classic eps will be on Tubi and YouTube.

Lol what a joke. She hasn’t even served 2 months yet and she’s already being elevated www.nola.com/news/politic...

NEW: In 2020, the Montana U.S. Atty cut a plea deal that let a tribal police officer who sexually abused a 6-year-old girl serve less than a year in prison + dodge the sex offender registry. That U.S. Atty is now Montana GOP Senate nominee Kurt Alme. www.huffpost.com/entry/montan...

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

Detained by ICE on her way to Mass yesterday, Sr. Letty is reunited finally with Sr. Norma Pimental, Pope Francis used called Sr. Norma his “favorite nun.” Quite a moment that shows the human face of rounding up people randomly.

Right! WTF? You could post on Truth Social If you wanted It's none of my business --

I can't stop listening to this cover of the Hey Arnold intro

Honestly penalty shootouts is wayyyyyy more fun to watch than regulation soccer

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

John Ossoff is the energy we need to channel from now until November. .

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

Zohran has shown that when a leftist takes executive power, the median Democratic voter will follow and they can remake their party. IMO it's a great argument for an AOC presidential run. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more. Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Can I just say I hate when the “good guys” use the language of the evil ones. Why name it “Project 2029”, the opposition to the Khmer Rouge didn’t name their project “Year One” to show their opposition to “Year Zero”

The people YEARN to go to our Demented Elderly Leader’s Fair but cannot do so until the market closes.

The Bank of North America (which predates the constitution), and the charters of the 1st and 2nd Banks of the United States that Congress passed in 1791 & 1816, with boards of directors filled by presidential appointees, show the Founding generation wanted independence for banking specifically

And everybody knows it. This was purely about not crashing the economy and nothing to do with interpreting law or anything else.
