Congratulations to Doug Jones on defeating Doug Jones

Cornyn mostly gained the image as a bipartisan policymaker after Kay Bailey Hutchison left the Senate. Cornyn's strength in the GOP was as a massive fundraiser (Because Texas). The image of Cornyn as an adult came after he became whip. It grew when he was standing next to Cruz. 1/

Mhhhhhhhh

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Wednesday, & the President Pro Tempore of the Senate violates his oath of office. Again.

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick tells PabloReports that he is working to stop Trump’s $1.7 billion weaponization fund: PabloReports: What do you make of this $1.7 billion weaponization fund? Fitzpatrick: Bad news. We’re going to try to kill it. We’re considering a legislative option.

Republicans are now deep underwater (-20) with the voters who make decisions based on the price of gas and general economic conditions — the group that put Trump in the White House in the first place www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-19...

I guarantee Rs are not winning the DeKalb eday vote

A big reason the two liberal candidates for the Georgia Supreme Court are running so differently is that many voters may not have known much about them in this nonpartisan race. CNN reports liberals and conservatives spent $4 million total ... compare that to the $115 million in the 2025 WI race.

Looks like Ds were using the names of candidates as a signal: there's an equally large ticket split happening there, with the D-aligned candidate named "Fatima" outperforming the D-aligned candidate named "Will" by 20% Ds went into the booth saying "hmm, which one *sounds* like a Dem?"

welp he's done

Kentucky U.S. House District 4 GOP Primary 10% Reported: 🔴 Ed Gallrein – 6,592 (52.0%) 🔴 Thomas Massie – 6,078 (48.0%) Votes from @DecisionDeskHQ

Hello Bluesky. It's Playboy. For our first, and timely post, we share our latest investigation into OpenAI's disastrous plans to become x-rated. "Altman’s idea of an “erotica” feature seemed riddled in uncertainty." Read our piece "Why ChatGPT Can't Be Sexy" here: www.playboy.com/read/politic...

So basically what should have already been the case

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

3 days after President Trump helped defeat him in a GOP primary, Sen. Bill Cassidy R-LA joins with Democrats to vote to end the Iran war

Honestly, Massie is not good but him winning would deepen splits in the republican party which would be nice

Buckle up for a very busy election night tonight. Do you know the top races to watch? Here's my personal top 10 that I have my eyes on. A 🧵:

I guess I will be Binging it

Peter Thiel putting his purchase to work

Like its really nothing, but man, you can just not post about everything

Trump has endorsed scandal-plagued Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary. Cornyn voted with Trump 99% of the time, and even introduced a bill to name a highway after him. Let this be a lesson to Republicans. Trump has no loyalty to anyone except Trump.

This is going like Dems would have scripted it: A late Trump endorsement after Cornyn/Senate Republicans incinerated ~$100M trying to nuke Ken Paxton as an impeached adulterer who violated ethics left and right.

Even if Talarico doesnt win, but runs close enough to Paxton to slip some downballot races, things will be bad.

Hakeem, Jesus Christ, dude.

the Bibi Netanyahu strategy

I love the Colbert show tonight. A celebration of his staff

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

Man, you can tell he put so much care into this show

Breaking NOTUS: Trump pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire the Senate parliamentarian after she ruled Republicans could not include funding for the ballroom in a budget bill, two sources familiar with the request told NOTUS.

Also true for fiction writing! Seth Rogen Says If “Your Instinct Is to Use AI” to Write Scripts, “You Shouldn’t Be a Writer” 'The Studio' creator said people who are thinking about using the technology to aid their writing skills should try another occupation: "Go do something else."

Finally. A politician with a spine. Melat Kiros, the DSA challenger for the Denver congressional seat, calls for Jared Polis' impeachment after he freed a convicted MAGA election rigger.👇🏻

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

My take is that if a general was going to become president, it was unfortunate we missed it being Marshall
