Surprising number of elderly cyclists on the road into Taunton, all sweating profusely and red as beetroots. I'm not sure cycling for pleasure is the wisest use of their time in this weather.

Seattle is probably the most gay friendly city on the planet. Foreigners and visitors can STFU.

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Got a new Dell Laptop at work & it comes with a COPILOT KEY next to the right Alt button. I thought OK, I can surely disable this key or remap it to Ctrl. Oh my friends, no. I was foolish. Searching for help came across this, Dell agents aren't even allowed to discuss remapping the copilot key.

Chef Joshua Gil passed on June 22 after giving colorectal cancer hell for four years. His physical body may have given out, but his spirit, his influence, and the countless memories he created around tables across L.A. will be just fine. The full story: lataco.com/chef-joshua-... By Javier Cabral

NEWS: In a stunning upset, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier will defeat five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the NY-13 congressional primary. With victories by Lander, Valdez, and now Avila Chevalier, Mamdani went 3-for-3 with his endorsements in New York City's Democratic primaries.

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.

We have a lot of votes already in from Utah. —In the Dem primary in #UT01, Ben McAdams (the more centrist of the candidates) has a really huge lead. —In the GOP primaries in #UT02 & #UT03, GOP incumbents Blake Moore & Celeste Malloy are up big against far-right challengers.

It's not just New York. In Maryland, at least two state senators & one state representative are losing to challengers to their left.

RESULT: Republicans choose Dan Cox, a MAGA candidate who got demolished by Wes More in the 2022 governor's race in Maryland, to face Moore again in November. Moore won't be upset about that, though he'd have been heavily favored regardless.

Trying to keep count of Dem incumbents who appear to be going down to challengers from their left tonight. I have: —2 congressmembers (both NY) —3 state senators (1 in NY, 2 in MD) —4 state house members (3 in NY, 1 in MD) May be missing some, will update.

RESULT: When Maryland adopted major restrictions on ICE earlier this year (we covered here: boltsmag.org/maryland-new...), just one Democrat in the state House opposed this: Delegate Frank Conaway. Conaway has been ousted by a wide margin in tonight's Democratic primary for HD40.

RESULT: New York Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar, who was known as an ally of former Mayor Eric Adams, has beenousted by David Orkin, a DSA-endorsed attorney who works at the immigrants' rights group Make the Road New York.

BIG RESULT: New York state Senator Jessica Ramos, who gave Andrew Cuomo a surprise endorsement near the end of the mayoral primary last year, has lost her seat. She is ousted in today's Dem primary by Jessica González-Rojas, an assemblymember endorsed by many left figures like AOC.

RESULT: Maryland state Senator Dalya Attar, who was indicted on extortion charges last year (www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...), just lost her seat. She was defeated by Malcolm Ruff, a state delegate endorsed by Governor Moore, Progressive Maryland, & more heavy-hitters.

RESULT: Maryland state Senator Nancy King, an ally of state Senate President Bill Ferguson, just lost her seat. She was defeated in the Dem primary by Amar Mukunda, who had endorsements from Maryland progressive groups. (Ferguson will hold on to his seat, now leads by ≈15%.)

RESULT: In the Buffalo area, state Senator Jeremy Zellner has been ousted in today's Dem primary. He lost to Jon Rivera, who is currently an Assemblymember and was endorsed by the Working Families Party. The specific reason I was watching this one, related to past Bolts coverage:

RESULT: Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs, who was censured by the state Assembly in December (www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...), has lost his reelection race in the Dem primary today. He was defeated by Diana Ayala, a former NYC council member who used was endorsed by the Working Families Party.

The PopuList has long been a valuable resource for categorization of far-right, far-left and/or populist parties:

Iran demands it for a peace deal, Israel absolutely refuses... here comes $8-10 gallon gasoline.

Hundreds of Indigenous people have testified. They've sobbed, cursed and laughed in spite of it all. Many told stories about their time in boarding schools that they've kept inside for decades, finally able to begin recovering from childhood trauma.

Please remove this idiot from office.

I am counting on Seattle to be the gayest city ever during this match. I want to see rainbows for miles.

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

Thank you to the brave men and women of the LAFD who have worked around the clock to battle the Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights.

It's even more gorgeous at night. And appropriate colour. 💙🌊💙🌊💙

Fresh off sweeping victories across NYC, Democratic socialists are kicking off their search for a 2028 candidate. DSA is asking members across all 250 chapters to weigh who they want to back in the next presidential election and why.

AOC on the Reflecting Pool: They talked a bunch of smack. They said they had to repaint the pool, and now they’ve turned it into an actual swamp.

Protecting workers from extreme heat will save lives. Kudos to Mayor Mamdani for demonstrating what good government actually looks like.

The Senate just advanced a major housing bill that includes limits on how many homes some private equity investors can own. It's a modest, yet much needed step towards reining in one of the biggest culprits behind the housing crisis.

A Republican state senator in South Dakota was just charged with election fraud. (Note that the senator, Pishke, has supported various pieces of legislation that make it harder to vote or register to vote in the name of fighting fraud.) www.sdpb.org/politics/202...

In the record-breaking race to represent for #MD06, incumbent April McClain Delaney leads 45% to 40% over David Trone in the early vote. Trone is the former congressmember who just dropped more than $25 million of his own money to get his seat back.

Some possible upsets brewing in Maryland's legislative primaries? Several incumbent Dems are trailing challengers to their left in the early vote, including Senator Nancy King and Representative Frank Conaway (the only Democrat who opposed new restrictions on ICE activity this spring). Stay tuned.
