Blanche K Bruce’s house is on my block. He was the last Black senator from Mississippi. So in honor of the first Black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction, I dropped off some flowers at his home.

@Conblob Michigan Rs don’t even try anymore they throw out John James and Mike Rogers and look at you like this

@Conblob Was just thinking about this so put some names together. Some of the notable nominees to lose 2x statewide in the trump era

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

@otterdammerung_ The surveillance/dynamic pricing stuff is such a sure fire way to get absolutely fucked by a sympathetic congress. It’s probably like a 90-10 issue among the public to regulate this type of shit.

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

Maybe this is recency bias but am I crazy in thinking that political retreads have become more common lately? Trump is obvs the biggest but you also had Mike Rogers and numerous house candidates. I feel like losing previous races used to penalize you more.

Wis Politics: Eric Hovde (R) says he'd consider running for Wisconsin's US Senate seat in 2028 if Ron Johnson doesn't seek another term.

I have to give Josh Hawley credit for his new position on data centers. He and I have had our differences, but he never hesitates to do the right thing the moment it becomes politically expedient to do so. https://t.co/1NUr6TW4Ed

We’ve known this was coming for the last few days when the drops increasingly made it clear. But this is still just so unreal to me. Mississippi!

[CNN @CNN]

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://t.co/LIrSavsJ01

Once Utah is fully finished counting, I might need to remake this map

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

Real ones know the pictures here exaggerate what Indianapolis actually looks like. The mountains are super far from downtown. Cincinnati is what everybody thinks Indianapolis is. The mountains are right on top of you.

[JT @Jaberuski]

Leaving out Indianapolis here is criminal

[Tony @realtonysm1th]

People talk about California HSR as the poster child of inefficiency and waste, but can you really put a price on the ability to get from South Merced to North Bakersfield in under an hour?

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

How many of the losing NC congressional republicans are we thinking will try to run again?

[Max @maxtmcc]

My whole life the story of the South has been about rising racial polarization; it got so high it basically became the case that if you were white you voted GOP and if you were Black you voted Dem.

2026 *shattered* this, driven by a MASSIVE Dem surge with young whites.

@LinkofSunshine the problem with libertarianism is immediately you run out of nobody's money

2026 Iowa Governor by Precinct.

Democratic Auditor Rob Sand won by 11% in this midwestern state that the Trump era has turned solid red. His crossover appeal shows up in virtually every small town and city, particularly in eastern Iowa.

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

If he has any brains (which he does) Ron DeSantis ain’t touching this shit with a ten foot pole.

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

“One source told CBS News that Ron DeSantis is being floated as a possible replacement for Hegseth, arguing DeSantis could go through Senate confirmation in the lame-duck period and then take the post when his term as governor expires Jan. 5.” https://t.co/ZwBiawfcAN

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

Just as we all predicted.

[Gavin Bena 🗳 @gavinbena]

> Texas to the left of Minnesota
> North Carolina to the left of Oregon
> Louisiana to the left of Florida
> South Carolina to the left of Iowa
> Georgia to the left of New Hampshire

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

Actually crazy. Guess it shouldn’t be surprising though given that the only people left in the Republican house caucus are true believers from (at minimum) Trump +9 or higher seats.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

🚨🚨 JIM JORDAN is the next House minority leader

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

i don't believe in permanent electoral advantages, but a world where democrats are reliant on the sun belt rather than the rust belt to get to 270 may be quite different, so much dem policy post-2016 is a rust belt trauma response

[Conner Hafen @Conblob]

@fsholars He was cooked either way but what the fuck was he doing voting for OBBB.
