Trying not to pull my hair out that Dems let anyone run unopposed anywhere, ever They've been outperforming for awhile. They know the dangers of Trump admin. Whether they care, they know the pulse of the electorate and soon they'll be once again screaming VOTE BLUE VOTE HARDER so give them someone!

Has anyone heard from Cedric Richmond lately? What about Mitch Landrieu? Are there any Democrats in Louisiana interested in a serious chance at becoming a US Senator?

Democrats just pulled off a 37 point swing in Louisiana. I don’t think “blue wave” really communicates the magnitude here.

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

Just by looking at a cursory glance of the turnout by precinct, this doesn't look like a case of Democratic areas turning out more than Republican areas. In fact, the opposite. Chasity Martinez won by winning over a bunch of Trump voters

Final results in the Louisiana #HD60 (Trump+13) special election: Chasity Martinez (D)- 62% Brad Daigle (R)- 38% Martinez holds this Trump+13 seat for the Democrats and puts in a nearly 40 point overperformance from 2024 in the process

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas. Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points. Our complete writeup on this remarkable outcome -->

That’s 34 pt overperformance, in a state Trump won by only 22pts. Oh, and Democrats still havent fielded any serious candidates for US Senate. Qualifying ends in 5 days.

Starting to think about Texas and Florida Senate seats, idk.

Anything’s possible. But liberals and Republicans alike seem not to understand that Maduro actually has some self respect

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

Early returns in Louisiana’s special election: The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in. Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

With only 9 precincts to go the Dem lead has GROWN AGAIN

Haha what the fuck

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

Holy shit, did this ever air?

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

“Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.”

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

If Trump had done the ape thing to, say, Ilhan Omar, there would have been zero backlash. The Obamas are widely beloved, but the media hates Muslims.

glad Ossoff is using this but it's not his coinage; it was common enough that David Brooks was condemning it last year, shortly before being revealed to be a member.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

Flipped on Peecock’s Milanalo-Cortina coverage

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

This is, frankly, ridiculous behavior. Get over yourself, bro.

The backflip!

When Dems get the gavel back, they should subpoena NBC to demand to know who made the decision to censor this, and whether the White House was involved

Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD. To *Italy*.

UPDATE: not only did NBC NOT play the booing clip, it appears the network intentionally edited it out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“The Epstein class”

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Hard agree, opting out where we can builds discipline and can sends a message -- even if they already have our picture.
