I have done this thing over and over again where I have encouraged people to understand it's not about winning rural areas. It's about shifting them 5 points to the left. If it's 10 points instead lmao

If you're a Tennessee Republican looking at these results in #TN07, you gotta be scared for #TN05 next year. Republican incumbent who's not really raising any money, Democratic opponent who's raised nearly $1 million already, AND it's a district that's 10% bluer than TN-07.

This is good but also why I hate the American public. They have no along term memory.

I hope Trump lives a good long time after 2028 so he can watch us tearing down the arch and the ballroom and whatever other insane things he's built and go absolutely apoplectic.

🚨🚨🚨 literally a 5-alarm fire for the GOP! A 13 point swing with basically identical turnout to a midterm is really, REALLY bad….

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

With the coincidence this afternoon of the vote in the House of Representatives and the visit of MBS to the White House, it feels like a clarifying moment: On one side, Trump, Epstein and MBS. On the other, those who respect decency and honor humanity.

root for injuries. she’s still who she is, i don’t need to like or support her to enjoy her knifing trump, because the more of them who knife him without repercussion, the faster he falls

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy

Here’s the single ‘democratic’ politician ‘embracing’ mtg and of course it’s toxic populist ro khanna

I really did see someone on social media say Israel should cease to exist unless it becomes a secular country

racism. next question.

Not a single democratic politician is embracing mtg She’s a snake and we all know it. She’s just going the way the wind is blowing, she has her own goals.

this is just a wild thing to tweet a week after democrats won a statewide in Georgia by 20 points. completely divorced from the current electoral environment

Nice catch here by my pal @purrtah.bsky.social. This one isn’t until March but Dems have a very real chance to flip a seat in Arkansas. @taniel.bsky.social @trumpstaxes.com @uncrewed.bsky.social

All jokes aside, this year has been a deeply embarrassing year for the vast majority of those in media & journalism. Just a bunch of unserious people making a mockery of their profession during a very, very serious time when their work has been desperately needed & missing.

This is horrific

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Q: Is it appropriate for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president. Is that a conflict of interest? And your royal highness, the US intel community concluded you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journali--- TRUMP: Who are you with? Q: ABC News TRUMP: Fake news

like as much as this site is in a fit of justified anger over this, the GOP... does not actually win anything by fucking over insurance markets

if they don't fix Obamacare credits and/or fuck it by replacing it with HSAs, next year is going to be uhhhh a healthcare election

I need everyone to take the time today to learn about incremental change and then consider how much incremental change was flushed down the toilet last November. It took DECADES TO GET WHERE WE WERE. This is wtf we were trying to tell the whites!!!!! So now the goal is to what? Forget that?

Shit is going to be fucked up as a result of them refusing to vote for the qualified Black woman and if you thought that we were going to keep it all you’re delusional. People still need to eat. People still need to work. If people had shown the fuck up in November we wouldn’t be here

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

This isn’t for them to decide. States run their own elections and each has their own voting laws. They don’t have a right to even get involved & shold have rejected hearing the case. It’s not a federal issue. I hate them so much.

States rights SCOTUS has no place here

Gross. State charges can’t be pardoned though

This is the 2nd lowest Consumer Sentiment print of all time, going back to the 1970s. @cnbc.com #UMich

I'm telling y'all, a lot of you would be served well by letting your hate of Schumer go. The guy is not a perfect Minority Leader but he has played this shutdown nearly perfectly Make an offer publicly that you know the GOP will reject & you get to see them continue to get the blame Perfect gambit

Like, I am FULLY with you, that come 2027, it's time for a new leader for the Dem party. But for now, let's root for the guys on our side. Schumer has played this all fantastically on the shutdown and I have no problem giving him & the caucus that credit.

He’s so embarrassingly stupid Our money is going to this instead of medical research & feeding kids & providing healthcare

Palestinians are appealing to US CentCom for help because Hamas is using a hospital in Khan Younis to torture Palestinians.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

I know this isn't a scientific observation but a lot of this Trump shit - suspended SNAP payments, tearing down the east wing - is getting a negative reaction from people in my Facebook feed. They're usually oblivious to most political developments.

And now republicans rejected the Democrats offer and COMPLETELY ENDED ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHUTDOWN while every idiot on this site that doesn't understand politics freaked out over nothing as usual LMAO.

I don't think people fully realize how brutal a vise Republicans are in now. If they cave tomorrow Democrats get all the credit for giving people healthcare. If they somehow bypass the filibuster they get a year plus of headlines about ripping people's healthcare away.

Folks, if you don’t understand why Democrats would want to force Republicans back into another healthcare costs debate *just in time for the midterms* Then you are too stupid to be bleating your political opinions in public.

He accurately threw this up on Twitter a few hours ago but half of y’all don’t know how to read & just bark at him no matter what he says anyway.

Alright you do, in fact, gotta hand it to Schumer

Who cares about supreme courts? Michigan —Dems swept 2 seats in 2024, went from 4-3 to 5-2. A GOP justice retired this yr, so now 6-1. Wisconsin —Dems flipped court, 3-4 to 4-3, in 2023. Defended edge last April. Can expand it next April. Pennsylvania —Dems defended 5-2 majority on Tuesday. via

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Please remember. Every republican is on Twitter RIGHT NOW lying their asses off about all the fucking hell they are responsible for putting us through. Instead of yelling at Democrats who aren't responsible for all this bad shit GO YELL AT REPUBLICANS ON TWITTER.

Republicans are SO MAD that they have to feed starving children

lmao.

Lmfao my God, Senate Republicans are so fucking useless. Even after Tuesday, they’re going down with the sinking ship.

Thank you Bobbi Bittker and @americanbar.org for the nice write up! www.americanbar.org/content/dam/...

BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

“Sandwich guy” tells me it was “heartening” to get so much support from his fellow Washingtonians but that he’s “not comfortable” with the “hero” narrative. I asked him if he thought DC residents were registering their dissent by finding him not guilty, he said “perhaps.”

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content
