@ZackCarroll if you didn’t do it while guzzling tobacco and analyzing football stats it doesn’t count

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

as one of the only girls and often the only gay on many of the campaign calls I get on every single day, not sure I agree 100% with peter himbo's detective work here

[Nobody Knows Anything @NKAnythingPod]

.@PeterHamby asks if Democrats have a "girls and gays issue", where there are too few straight men "in the room."

HAMBY: "I just think you need a guy on staff who plays fantasy football."

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

There are too many spineless senators in Washington who refuse to stand up to Donald Trump.

Minnesota, we are not going to send him another one.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

Lest any question of ~*viability*~ remain, this should put it to bed once and for all: last night, Peggy Flanagan alone won more votes than all of the Republican Senate candidates combined.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

yes it is.

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

Peggy Flanagan: "When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them."

While wearing a shirt with a knife on it that says "protect trans kids.

This is who Democrats just nominated for Senate in Minnesota👇

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

The populist Peggy Flanagan getting hugely outspent in the Senate primary and yet defeating an incumbent corporate Democratic member of Congress by 20 points is the biggest story of last night. Nothing really comes even close to that. Just absolutely enormous.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

A lot of people own last night's win in MN-SEN, and For Some Reason 🙂 Tina Smith isn't getting more flowers, but she should. In an era of toxic gerontocracy, she chose to pass the torch, then threw her whole weight behind Peggy before almost anyone else did. A real one.

[Tina Smith @TinaSmithMN]

We deserve a Senator who puts Minnesotans first. Someone who sticks up for everybody. Someone who will work every day to build a country where people can afford to live the lives they want to live.

That’s why I’m endorsing Peggy Flanagan to be our next United States Senator.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

Don’t ever bet against @peytonlewis__.

[Peyton Lewis @peytonlewis__]

Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota’s Democratic nominee for United States Senate. 💙🥲

[taylr @taylr]

peggy flanagan focusing her attacks on michelle tafoya now with her as the republican primary winner. “we already have too many spineless, yes-sir senators who won’t stand up to trump. minnesota will not send him another one.”

[RKM @RKMSIO]

This sank Craig. In Hennepin County, ground for for Operation Metro Surge, she's losing by 28 points. She's losing by 19 statewide.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

Peggy fuckin Flanagan y’all.

I dunno man. The thin skin, the arrogance, the quickness to turn nasty—If It Were A Woman™️ we'd be talking about temperament.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

you could only possibly be surprised that the kind of men in politics who deify and defend sex pests might themselves be sex pests if you haven't been a woman in politics.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Incredible.

The left-wing activist who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate was barred from a previous Democratic Congressional campaign after multiple complaints of sexual misconduct.

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

@allymarcus has *this* ever happened to a candidate who is a woman, of any age? https://t.co/zAhC3NmcfG

[Nick Field @nick_field90]

"The recruiters — Dan Moraff, Leanne Fan and Morris Katz — told Mr. Platner he was “the one,” a “hero of the movement,” “a historical figure” who could be “leading a revolution,” according to half a dozen people with knowledge of their conversations" https://t.co/nB5VtjPHk6

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

if nothing else maybe this can be the end of anointing media consultants who have never actually been staffers on a single campaign as the True Political Geniuses Of Our Time

[Nick Field @nick_field90]

"As Mr. Platner’s star rose through the winter and early spring, Mr. Katz was privately promoting him as a future presidential candidate for as soon as 2028, if he won his Senate bid" https://t.co/nB5VtjPHk6

[Rodericka Applewhaite @Rodericka]

A lot of the Platner online left double down gets easier to wrap your head around when you strip the ideology and recognize that there are many men out here, across the spectrum, who believe a woman’s agency is conditional and/or collateral for a greater good.

[Yurok Around The Clock @HellcatBruce]

Hold on, before I resign in disgrace I have a list of demands

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

Cheyenne Hunt and Mrs. Frazzled, and the women who came forward about their experiences, have now saved two entire states and tens of millions of people from being governed by serial sex pests. Enough about media firms. Give these women the Nobel prize.

[Brandy Jensen @BrandyLJensen]

nasty work. trying to pretend this is media criticism when everyone can see what you’re doing here
