I still like yellow numbers. I now like blue skies.
I wish Democrats would start doing this in Missouri. We always run centrists OR semi-progressives with a military and gun background.
For a couple elections it was tight, but there’s nothing there anymore.
So go big. Be loud. Be progressive. See what happens. It genuinely can’t hurt.

Once again I will stress the importance of running for unwinnable seats. It allows you to get your positions into the consciousness of the people in your district. In 2018 I ran on expanding Medicare, doubling the minimum wage, and other progressive positions. Push that Overton window, y'all.
I reject the Crockett electabiltiy arguments out of hand. For 30 years, TX Dems have run a non-offensive white guy who always gets beat by a car salesman who bought his wife from Belorussia and is diddling his daughters. Be open to something different. You can run a loudmouth.

WELKER: You're talking about Trump protecting Arkansas from drugs, yet he pardoned the former president of Honduras who trafficked more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. How does that make us safer?
COTTON: I haven't spoken to POTUS about that pardon. I have to know more about the circumstances

Miami’s crowd for this MLS Cup is awful. You’ve got the greatest player of all-time playing for a championship at home in beautiful weather, and there are so many empty seats.
I’m guessing tickets sold are fine. But butts are not in seats.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito received over $2.4 million in "unreported gifts" from conservative billionaires with business before the Supreme Court, funneled through an organization whose mission is to pack the SCOTUS with their right-wing judges.

When you consider that the USPS pays $10 billion into Treasury bonds every year, at a $9 billion loss, that would technically still be a $1 billion profit for the government.

What drives me crazy is I don’t see any politicians framing it this way.
I don’t want to say none are. But I don’t see it. I’d like to see a nice loud defense of the Postal SERVICE. It’s crucial and it’s affordable and it’s worth speaking up for.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

There’s just no choice anymore. There should be zero Republican House reps from blue states. None.
the democratic response to this must be, in the words of @dennycarter.bsky.social, to go goblin mode on redistricting in the states where they have a trifecta. eliminate every republican district in those states.
This isn't a Supreme Court, it's just six Republican operatives imposing law on the rest of us in order to help Trump and MAGA destroy the Constitution and impose authoritarian rule.

I cannot imagine ever wanting to attend a university where my studies are limited rather explicitly to what is needed for professional licensure or even just explicitly relevant to my chosen professional pathway.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.
