If you’re a Democratic legislator who is against retaliation, you have no place in the party

[Polling USA @USA_Polling]

The proposed Texas map is insane

If they go through with this, Democrats should absolutely retaliate in blue states

Florida’s population boom looks done.

The Census data released in March shows net domestic migration collapsing 93% since 2022, from +310,892 to just +22,517 in 2025. And in this dataset, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami are all now shrinking.

Housing costs seem to finally be biting.

Think about everything that’s happened since Mainers last had a chance to vote for Susan Collins:

January 6th
Trump’s convictions
Trump’s re-election
Gaza genocide
Iran war
Big Beautiful Bill
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Dismantling of the VRA

NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops

Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”

Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year

But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.

Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

Just hours ago, Trump said he was gonna call Netanyahu to tell him not to attack lran. “I call all the shots. Netanyahu doesn't,” he says.
And now, Israel just attacked Iran.
So Trump was either blatantly lying to you on behalf of Israel, or he’s letting Israel walk all over him.

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

When Democrats tried in 2020 to get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to count early votes early—like Florida—Republicans killed the bills so Trump could win day-of-voting tallies and try to throw out mail in ballots. It’s a scam for people Trump thinks are stupid.

It's basically over for Steyer, I think. Not totally impossible yet, but he would need dramatic improvements that he just isn't seeing in these latest results.

Single digit odds.

Better for Steyer in Orange County compared to yesterday’s drop, but I don’t think this is gonna be enough

[Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini]

Raman needed to beat Pratt by 8.7 points in the remaining vote today. Instead, she won this drop by 22.5 points, and it was a large batch.

That puts Nithya Raman on track to join Karen Bass in a November runoff between two Democrats.

[Toaster @DaMapperToaster]

To be honest this seems a bit short of what I’d wanted to see here. I think Steyer may fall just short of catching Hilton when’s everything is done

Since nobody wants to have the balls to say this I’ll go ahead and take one for the team, I haven’t seen a single argument for El-Sayed being unelectable that’s not rooted in racism
