Absolutely spot on by @kevinmkruse.bsky.social (as usual), and aligns with what I wrote here in response to AI evangelists among political scientists. Good writing isn’t just good syntax. It’s also good thinking. And while it can be hard, doing it well is rewarding! substack.com/@mirandayave...

evers isn’t ‘exciting’ but the fact that he followed up scott walker and helped pull wisconsin back from the brink - and is still holding the line for trans people here - is worth a whole lot he hasn’t been able to do much legislation-wise because of the GOP but he’s been a beacon of decency

Term limits destroy institutional knowledge and create a constant churn of amateurs who need to learn how to legislate. It empowers corporate interests, which is why they push the issue.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Two Corinthians?

We have no kings.

The fact that Planter is cosplaying as working class despite so clearly having access to 2-3 networks within elite national publishing is such vivid gaslighting

Speaking as a constituent of John Fetterman, if he doesn't understand that it's anything but extreme to not want ICE to be terrorizing our communities with utter disregard for basic rights, he should spend less time on Hannity and more time reading the fucking Constitution (or, you know, resign).

Dogs will save us all.

Graham Platner: Your Dumbest Relative, but as a senator

YES CHARLIE CRIST NOW CHARLIE CRIST TOMORROW CHARLIE CRIST UNTIL HE FINALLY WINS

new poll at 6am tomorrow www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-03-26...

Quinnipiac has Trump at 38/56, D+11 generic ballot poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

1. Maine Governor Janet Mills in a press conference yesterday came out forcefully against a trans sports and bathroom ban referendum that will be on the state ballot in November. This comes after another governor, Gavin Newsom, took a more anti-trans stance. Subscribe to support our journalism.

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care. Letitia James deadline came and went, NYU still has not restarted care. Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law. Important thread.

Early vote just dropped in the Florida #SD14 (Trump+7) special election: Brian Nathan (D)- 52.7% Josie Tomkow (R)- 47.3% E-day voting has been pretty good for Republicans, so this one will be close!

Early vote just dropped in the Florida #HD87 (Trump+11) special election: Emily Gregory (D)- 58.4% Jon Maples (R)- 41.6% Very good start for the Dems as they look to flip Trump's State House district!

Berger spent millions of dollars to try to win reelection, infuriating fellow Republicans who preferred that the funds be spent on defending vulnerable senators in November. Now that money is gone, and the NC GOP is losing one of their best fundraisers, too.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition. Wake up, be based AF, and then down to the high-end sushi restaurant to order a cheeseburger with milk. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

I realize I am a lot more sympathetic to the neocons turned liberals than some people are. The reason is that they understood Trump much more quickly than I did.

Pushes me in the direction of "not a Nazi," but a man this stupid shouldn't be in the Senate.

Janet Mills and Graham Platner evolving in opposite directions on the filibuster.

@heinrich.senate.gov, whose state is 49.3% Hispanic, is supporting Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation. Rarely do you see as abject and amoral a betrayal of one’s constituents as what Heinrich’s doing right now.

Shoot these people into the sun

Great thread on how Track AIPAC is hot garbage.

This is a slippery slope to autocracy, but progressive.

This would be terrible. 99% of Medicare Advantage enrollees have prior authorization, a departure from how traditional Medicare has historically operated (though Oz is changing that), which causes delays and denials. What’s more, networks are often very limited, further reducing access to care.

Oh, you're mogging but are you Jacob Rees-Mogging?

You know, the really annoying thing is, AGAIN it’s going to be on Democrats in Congress and the next administration to clean up the mess that the GOP, the voters, and the media created. And naturally we won’t get any credit for it.

Spencer Cox: fascism (but with a smile)

Well, this is both disappointing and maddening

For the first time in US history, there will be three Black female senators at the same time (assuming Stratton wins in Nov which she will). Congrats to Juliana Stratton!

FUCK YES THIRD BLACK WOMAN SENATOR IN THE SENATE COME 2027, CONGRATS STRATTON

At this point in the 2025 mayoral primary, Mamdani was further behind Cuomo than Mills is behind Platner in most polls (UNH being the exception). Mamdani went negative and that's good!

Bill Kristol arguing that Democrats need to be more forceful in their opposition to a war of choice in the Middle East...

I'm sorry, this is the Great Leftist Savior? Does anyone happen to know what happened in the Indian Wars, the Philippines, Vietnam, or El Salvador?

people on here are too critical on Dems simply because it’s a Tuesday, this is not one of those times. We gotta nip this shit quickly

Gallego was quite literally recruited to primary Sinema

This happened and Manchin said no. Very publicly. It also lead to him pulling a $1.75T package he offered the White House

Frederick Douglass, one of America's greatest agitators and orators, passed away 131 years ago today.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Note that Platner claims that everyone knows about his negatives from media revelations, but that's not true, making this 2 point lead over Collins meaningless. No one has run a single negative ad against him yet. Collins and the GOP will. Both Mills and Platner can win or lose. #mepolitics

For real wtf is going on with this ridiculous tax revolt stuff among Dems like Booker, Hochul, and Van Hollen? Makes no economic or political sense

Mentally preparing myself for the Graham Platner 2028 talk if he defeats Collins and that he'd probably be among the ~10 most likely nominees if he ran.

Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire: Democrats: 28 Republicans: 0 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The best case scenario for Graham Platner is he'll be a senator in the mode of your dumbest relative, rather than your most racist relative.

Jordan Wood got rich from his scam PAC. As a political scientist who analyzed it found "98 cents goes to consultants and operational costs. Just pennies reach actual campaigns." #mepolitics data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-mother...
