[watching a progressive lose a House primary by 4 points] let me tell you what this very clearly says about national politics

I think it’s noteworthy that the 2 leading candidates here didn’t take AIPAC money, and in fact, were attacked using money tied to AIPAC.

NEW: Juliana Stratton has won the Illinois democratic Senate primary

@katmabu.bsky.social ran a great race. She's young and has a bright future ahead of her. Also, she changed the course of the race and introduced progressive politics that can't be ignored by the Democratic Party anymore.

I can listen to this on a loop all day long, lol. 🤣🤣

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

The “SAVE America Act” is an extreme Republican attempt to make it harder to vote. At a time when the prices of gas, groceries, and health care are going up, this is what they’re focused on?

It's back... The Heritage Foundation’s new blueprint for American women. Project 2025 making women dependant on a man or their fathers. Women are outsiders. Ummmm excuse me, but my father has passed away and I only have myself to count on. So what am I supposed to do? www.youtube.com/watch?v=orbS...

What if the "unessential" things are really the most important? The emotional safety nets we create for each other, through art, presence & small acts of kindness, are just as vital as anything else. When the world feels heavy, these tiny fragments of beauty are what help us hold it all together.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: Well, there has historically been a war on women in our country. While we’ve made tremendous progress in terms of gender equity, we are increasingly seeing—especially with the current federal administration—a rollback of women’s rights.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 💪🏾 💪🏽 💪🏻

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Who honestly supports this shit? They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

Look, just because the US government looks like Nazis, quotes Nazis, endorses Nazis, and acts like Nazis, doesn’t mean they’re Nazis *holds hand to earpiece* I’m being told it does in fact mean they’re Nazis

Oh man, I just realized the seed art at the State Fair this year is going to be *something*.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Donald was just spotted flipping off a Ford worker who yelled "pedophile protector" during Trump’s visit to the factory today. Whatever you do don't call @realDonaldTrump a pedophile protector today. He hates that.

Trump is giving a $1,776 bribe to everyone in the US military so they will be okay with committing war crimes for him when he launches his invasion of Venezuela. I served on active duty for six years. This is not normal for the US military.

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

Amazing 🎯

WTAF 🤦‍♀️

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

This is Deejay. He wanted to offer you a big nose and tiny tongue during this trying time. 14/10 (IG: deejayelgolden)

An extraordinary thing about his work is that there's no such thing as a "Rob Reiner film." He wasn't constrained, as are others, by a unique, signature style. He made each of his films as he thought he needed to. It's why you can like one and not another—and why you never knew what you were in for.

"The standout in Burlington started with two people and has grown to as many as 750..." gazettenet.com/2025/12/12/a...

An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

I’ll second that. Every last vestige.

Two heartbreaking shootings took place this weekend. One country said “never again!” The other said “welp, just another day in a great country”. There are solutions, the US government just values money over human life. We don’t need guns, people just want guns.
