I have no problem with either of your campaigns pestering me for money; that’s part of the game for good or for bad.

What I don’t like is you pretending that it’s bad when “The Establishment” does it but perfectly fine when YOU do so because Reasons.

Respectfully, while I did receive two texts from Mills asking for money, I also received two emails from YOU asking for money as well.

And I didn’t sign up for your mailing list either...which makes me wonder how you get YOUR lists?

This is a good crowdsourcing project. Suggest you look through for names in your state, see who you can connect them to. For example, there’s this guy.

reminded of what a Bernie volunteer told me was a popular saying at the Bernie field office in 2016 "Trump voters are just Bernie voters who haven't been educated yet" how very true...

Dana Houle @danahoule.bsky.social · 6h

So, Platner was just on MSNBC. I don’t think he mentioned Trump, & when asked about how he’d beat Susan Collins he said nothing about Susan Collins.

But while railing against the system & the insiders he referred to “the DS,” which made me chuckle.

While Susan Collins bows down to Trump, Maine Gov. Janet Mills is fighting back and winning. She's always fought for a better future for the people of Maine, and now, she'll take that fight to the U.S. Senate. That's why we're thrilled to endorse Gov. Mills for election to the U.S. Senate today.

oh interesting, Dan Kleban who'd gotten a certain amount of attention, dropped out and endorsed Janet Mills the same day she launched her campaign, someone knows how important this is.

The timing of Kleban's announcement shows how the Democratic governor’s entry has instantly shaken up the primary field.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

Obviously this is a particular left-wing species of it, but I think this is a reflection of a very real Online trend found all over the political spectrum where people don't understand some aspect of the world and so assume their ignorance must reflect a conspiracy by The Powers That Be

Trump on Charlie Kirk: "He was able to fight people that were enemies. And he didn't necessarily love those enemies so much. You know, I heard 'he loved his enemies' and I said, 'Wait a minute, is that the same Charlie that I knew? I'm not sure.' But I didn't want to get into it."

This is the second time in 24 hours he's said something like this. Yesterday he made that quip saying about Karoline Leavit, "those lips --- they move like a machine gun."

He's losing all inhibitions. Not that he ever had many to begin with.

My understanding of political conventions on this site are that age is a problem for politicians except for when it's not, and primaries are good except when they're bad.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

in her launch video Janet Mills centered her fight with the Trump Admin over trans rights, her case for why she should be a Senator is "I stood up to Trump on this issue". So if trans rights are your top issue that should matter at lot, just saying.

Thanks to thermostatic politics, America keeps alternating between punching itself in the face and bandaging its injuries. While the UK has been hitting itself in the balls with a hammer nonstop since the 50s.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
