Recovered journalist but still curious. Aspiring poet and lover of poetry. Constant reader. Political junkie.

@DemGovs @amyactonoh Loving all your victories tonight, but sure wish you’d paid attention to Florida. It might have made the difference. We had a great candidate. Jolly came close because he is an incredible campaigner. He fell short because he did not have money to get his message out. Shame, DGA.

@PeterSchorschFL @davidjollyfl Imagine if the DGA had not dismissed Florida from the get-go.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.

Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.

She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."

She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.

Again: that was yesterday.

I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.

Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.

Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.

I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.

I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.

I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.

If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

@steveschale Dammit. I met him in person only a few times, but knew him through AP while I was still a print journalist and later, for a fleeting time, engaged with him on social media. He brought light to some dark days. I’m sorry for your loss, Steve.
