The 2nd half of this week’s @the-downballot.com podcast features an important discussion on a topic that is not given enough coverage: How election laws impact the Native American community. I learned a lot in this conversation with @toreydolan.bsky.social. www.the-downballot.com/p/the-big-ta...

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Pete Hegseth is a habitual liar who values stupid macho optics more than the sanctity of a U.S. soldier’s ultimate sacrifice. Lying about the words of a Gold Star family to promote a war is repulsive behavior. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Readers from outside of Wisconsin may not be familiar with how awful LeMahieu and the gerrymandered GOP crooks have been. Look them up. wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/10/18/s...

Holy cow. Wisconsin State Legislative Republicans are retiring in droves. First it was Speaker Robin Vos. Then it was swing seat Senator Van Wanggaard. This morning it was Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Kevin Peterson. Now it's Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

the way this rich tech guy talks about women is bad, bad news — New York, you can do better

Corey Lewandowski was outright soliciting bribes in his role at DHS. Or maybe this is outright extortion. I'm not sure about the legal difference. Either way, Trump won't like that...because bribery and extortion are under *his* purview. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Six ratings changes for 2026 Governor races, all in the direction of Democrats. centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/...

Not a fan of infighting, but we should be aware of any red flags that could harm our chances in a general election. And Peter Chatzky has a history of crude FB posts that #NY17 Dem primary voters have the right to consider in their toss-up race Lawler. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/n...

Stealing these posts from @trumpstaxes.com but we have 3 MASSIVE special elections this coming Tuesday down in Florida! Even flipping one of these would be awesome but I’m a greedy bitch and want all three! 😂 Let’s be sure to give these races some attention!

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - FLORIDA STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 51🚨 Democrat: Edwin Perez Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 24TH🗓️ Area: North of Lakeland and Winter Haven Notes: This is a Trump+14 district with a solid Latino community, so also a flip opportunity given recent trends. Please amplify!

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - FLORIDA STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 87🚨 Democrat: Emily Gregory Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 24TH🗓️ Area: West Palm Beach Notes: This district includes Mar-a-lago, so a win here would make MASSIVE headlines. And it's flippable at Trump+11. Please spread the word!

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - FLORIDA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 14🚨 Democrat: Brian Nathan Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 24TH🗓️ Area: Tampa Notes: A flippable district that Trump only won by 7 points, lower than the avg Dem special election overperformance. This is one where we need to spread the word!

According to the article, the FBI investigation of Joe Kent has been underway for months. But it gets leaked 24 hours after he resigns. And if true, do we really think they'd have pursued it had he NOT resigned? Our Justice Department has zero credibility. www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

$200 BILLION?!?!??

Seeing some handwringing over the Virginia redistricting referendum after the VA GOP overperformed in a special election last night. @samshirazi.bsky.social calmly breaks it all down. IMO…I hope VA Dems are nervous. I have no tolerance for complacency. samshirazi.substack.com/p/hd-98-spec...

Wisconsin Elections Commission has officially started releasing daily reports on mail ballots returned! We have our first 1,000 ballots returned for the WI Supreme Court race!! @trumpstaxes.com

You know that money in politics is out of control when journalists are rightfully reporting PAC scorecard wins and losses after a primary.

That makes *two* solid overperformances in Pennsylvania tonight.

The calls are starting to trickle in that Juliana Stratton has won the Democratic primary for Illinois Senate. I think Stratton is going to be an exciting and forceful voice in the Senate next year.

In that PA State Legislative Special election that was a Trump +30 district, some results are in. Unfortunately I don't know if this is everything, or if there is more outstanding. Either way, we should be looking at a big overperformance here for Democrats.

It didn't take long for Bari Weiss to drive CBS News into the ground. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

I think that this Pennsylvania woman insulting Trump - and then insulting *herself* for voting for Trump - speaks volumes about the 2026 electorate.

We're on, like, Day 10 of this 'help us'/'don't help us' idiocy. As predicted.

The notion of flipping one or both chambers of the Wisconsin State Legislature is insane when you consider how entrenched Republicans have been for the last 16 years. But each day it looks more likely that GOP control will end this year.

With the proliferation and normalization of ‘prediction markets’ like Kalshi and Polymarket, this feels like a huge, huge deal. www.reuters.com/world/kalshi...

In case you're wondering whether or not Trump is rattled by Joe Kent's resignation...this proves that he is.

Today is the day if you live in Altoona (PA HD-79) to get out and vote for Caleb McCoy - we'd love to expand that one seat majority in the State House! It may be a red district, but hey, anything's possible...

It's not like the schism on the right over Iran has divided the GOP 50/50. I think about 85% of Rs are in full support of Trump's actions. But that 85/15 schism is DEEP. Joe Kent's shock resignation will deepen it further...and possibly chip away at some of that 85%. www.cnn.com/2026/03/17/p...

Been waiting for this to happen. With 2.5 months left until the #MESen Primary, Janet Mills is targeting Graham Platner's past comments and Nazi tattoo. Good. This issue needs to be fervently debated, and it's better to do so in a primary than in a general. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

My 2026 Democratic primary thesis remains the same: In toss-up races, support the best Dem who can win the general. In Safe D races, support the best Dem who can win the primary. As such, I’m asking Illinois Dems to please vote for JULIANA STRATTON for Senate. #ILSen @julianastratton.bsky.social

Can’t wait for another 24 hour news cycle in which Trump toggles between ‘We’re winning the war’ and ‘We need help winning the war’ a dozen times.

I am so sick of weird right-wing billionaires with untreated personality disorders.

It was Darrell Hammond, wasn’t it? apnews.com/article/trum...

Many thanks to U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy who is doing his level best to save countless children from RFK Jr.’s deadly quackery. www.ms.now/news/federal...

Imagine living in a universe where you plant bombs on January 6th and then argue that your act of terrorism is covered by Trump's blanket January 6th pardon. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The field is set in Maine.

Nothing like getting an A+ on immigration from a group that praises Hitler. But that's GOP Rep. Andy Ogles for you. You can do so much better than this cretin, #TN05. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

It’s pretty clear what’s happening. Trump’s Venezuela gambit was a success. That win fed his ego, and so he set his sights on a repeat performance in Iran. But he was on such a high post-Maduro that he ignored the warnings, and now he’s in a bind. Cuba gives him a chance to get his mojo back.

Let’s flip this seat blue PA! 🗳️

PAC-spending is going to be the biggest overall campaign story of the year. We’ve already seen it play out in some primaries, like the #NJ11 Dem primary where AIPAC’s spending backfired. But the amount of AI and crypto PAC spending is going to be insane. www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

Just a guess on Chaz’s part for the Virginia Redistricting referendum, but he’s often very good at reading VA politics. VA Dems want a bigger win than 4-8%. Any win too narrow might give the VA Supreme Court energy to overturn maps later. A double-digit win makes that a harder lift.

Awkwaaard. GOP Rep. Mike Lawler - who has regularly leveled accusations of anti-semitism against others despite his own questionable history on the subject - is revealed to have an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic political activist ON HIS CAMPAIGN PAYROLL. #NY17

It seems like every week or so we get another data point showing that #OHSen and #OHGov (in particular) are truly competitive this year. Ohio Democrats, after years of MAGA nonsense you finally have a real opportunity to turn your state around. quantusinsights.org/f/quantus-in...

Holy f*cking sh*t will someone please come and collect this addled sociopath!

Today's @the-downballot.com leads off with some interesting redistricting tidbits in Florida. A GOP Rep. poured cold water on DeSantis' preferred 5-seat pick-up, saying 'We are not picking up five seats. Drawing five new seats would put others in danger.' www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

This makes it seem as if Kaitlan Collins is happy with any old answer rather than an honest answer.

I mean what are the odds? ‘Mr. Mullin reported buying shares in Chevron, the only major U.S. oil company producing in Venezuela. Five days after the purchase, President Trump attacked Venezuela.’ www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/u...

Every day I am newly flabbergasted that this is a 100% self-imposed political crisis for Trump. None of this needed to happen. None of it came about bc of external factors beyond his control. He just woke up one morning, said to himself "time to fuck up my entire life," & launched a new war.
