Big, big day in specials tomorrow. Dems have a chance to flip the Miami Mayoral office and a state House seat in Georgia. We’re also defending a close-ish state House seat in FL and the Mayoral office in Albuquerque.

Get ready for a fun one tomorrow!
It’s Election Day tomorrow!

And it’s a big one because Democrats have a big shot at flipping the mayor’s office in Miami.

And also they’re aiming for an upset flip in the state House in Georgia.

Both on my guide of elections to watch. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Really interesting to see the breakout by generation.

Again, still very very early but this kind of stuff is always fascinating to me to see what & who is breaking through.

This is very, very well said. And I think boils down well what 2028 is going to be, or at least a big part of it:

- What have you done over the last 4 years to push back?
- What's your plan to rebuild?
- What's your plan for retribution?
Yeah, a big chunk of 2028, not the entire ballgame but a big chunk, is going to be "what did you do for us in the past four years?" and nobody's gonna get to do the surprised pikachu face if the folks with good answers to that question have an early leg up

I’ve pretty much decided that the best thing for me over the next few years is to just block people that are going to shit on potential Dem presidential candidates.

Centrists on AOC, Lefties on Newsom, whoever on Shapiro, don’t care.

2028 is the ballgame. Get serious or keep shit to yourself.

Fully agree with my pal @purrtah.bsky.social. Feel how you will about Josh Shapiro. This is a win/win for everybody. If he and his team help orchestrate a big midterm in PA, he puts himself in a strong potential position for 2028.

I like it.
Shapiro's strategy for 2028 White House run starts with 2026
The Pennsylvania governor aims to boost Democrats in midterm races — and position himself as the party's most electable presidential contender.

Yes. That’s right Scotty boy. Perfect message for the midterms….

I will say, Reese Davis is actually doing an awesome job grilling the Committee Chair right now on ESPN.

I hate Notre Dame AND the chair's explanation of the Miami vs. Notre Dame vs. Alabama was absolute and total clownery.

Looks like we had one more flip on Election Day than initially known! Love this!

Another fun tidbit about your boy. My partner has a side business making gourmet popcorn. The holidays are always an insane time so I’m helping him pump out a bunch of popcorn, peanut brittle and peppermint bark this morning.

Happy Saturday all! 🎄🎅❄️

Fantastic read on how the WI maps will be decided on. Sounds like a pretty thorough process but like @trumpstaxes.com, I’m optimistic we get something before WI primaries in August!

Dude really took a hit to his potential political future for….nothing.

Life comes at you fast, man 🤷‍♂️

This is the way to respond to this administration. They are weak and fold at nearly any pushback.

Treat these geeks as what they are: soft and weak.

👏👏👏
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House so bad that they deleted their post.

I've really been on a tear lately blocking & muting people that constantly doom or say debbie downer shit all the time.

I hate that I've muted and blocked some folks that I genuinely like but I just don't have time for that shit.

Lmfao all of these organizations and institutes bowing to this clown (looking at you FIFA, mainstream media, and Northwestern) are going to look incredibly foolish when all is said and done….

Going to be VERY interesting to see them navigate this one.....

This could potentially be a very big deal. Would basically keep the old map in place until the new vote!
If they have enough, it would put Missouri’s new map on hold until a vote takes place.
Proponents of a ballot measure to repeal Missouri’s new gerrymandered congressional map say they plan to turn in signatures next week.

Well, this is certainly going to make for some interesting dialogue.....

Going to be VERRRYYYY interested to see what happens in Miami next Tuesday.....

Susan Collins still hasn’t filed for reelection and wasn’t 100% committal in an interview today. Honestly no idea what she does, notable that it’s coming after TN-07, she has to know that a 13-pt swing left (Maine D+20 if it’s uniform) is almost unsurvivable even if the Dem is a paper bag

Two thoughts with this poll shared by @purrtah.bsky.social:

- This could very well be setting up for a 2010-style midterm

- Whoever wins in 2028 is going to have A LOOTTT of work ahead of them
