Don't know how CO will shake out tonight but my pre-primary take is if Bennet/Hick/Degette had stepped aside for Crow/Neguse/TBD State Rep the results would've been v diff. Dem voters want new blood/more fight if the only ppl giving them that are DSA then DSA is gonna do well.
This is a really odd criticism for the people whose political pressure caused the position change to make. This is what you wanted to happen! You’re not allowed to be mad at someone for listening to you!
If it’s true that the guy who harassed Scott Wiener is a cishet who identifies as “culturally queer,” then the SF LGBT community needs to reflect on how they’ve let a straight person take over the movement for reasons that have nothing to do with helping trans people.
We need to call what happened to @PeteButtigieg’s family what it is: poltical violence. Someone could’ve been seriously hurt or worse, and there’s no justification for it.
Gabby and I are thankful everyone is safe, and we hope those behind the false report are held responsible.
A lot of people have interpreted "it's not antisemitic to criticize Israel" (true) to mean "antisemitism is fine if it's in service of criticizing Israel" (bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD)
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
Vance is a paradigmatic example of a new kind of religious conversion. He doesn't agree w the institutional authorities of his new faith or many of its official doctrines, but likes the aesthetics & perceived politics. Religion as post-truth consumer lifestyle.
Voters left the 2024 cycle with a different (and more accurate) understanding of the priorities of Dem party leadership: not stopping Trump — as was assumed — but retaining their own power and relevance.
Establishment dug its own grave through its own actions. Cause and effect
Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.
NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS
Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.
Jon Husted supports banning abortion with no exceptions, including for the life of the mother.
He is far too extreme for Ohio and is a threat to women’s health care across the country.
I’m the only person in this race who has a record of advocating for a woman's right to choose.
Four years ago today, the Supreme Court stripped away our freedoms in the Dobbs decision. A woman's right to choose should never depend on her zip code. I'll always fight to restore that freedom and return healthcare decisions to where they belong: between a woman and her doctor.
“I do not personally find the task of persuading red state voters as engaging as the task of winning safe blue primaries” is an acceptable worldview but you have to at least be willing to see it for what it is.
Folks...Under Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution, if a bill is presented to the president and he neither signs nor vetoes it within 10 days (excluding Sundays), it becomes law automatically provided Congress remains in session.
Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
