@ferald_gord At least they're adult women, which is more than can be said for a lot of others 😭

That "pick another protein" ad spot really did her in, huh?

[The Associated Press @AP]

Democrat Scott Colom defeats Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, becoming Mississippi’s first Black U.S. senator since 1881.

keep yapping bro, you're next

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.

Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).

The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.

This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

Hegseth: "May I remind you for perspective -- we lost 60,000 Americans in Vietnam ... the media can just never admit the military success"

@ferald_gord you think these people actually pray or attend church services? they're professional larpers at best

"why won't the libertarians vote for us when we've been acting like authoritarians for the last 2 years???"

[Jeff Hunt @jeffhunt]

Another election handed to Democrats because of the libertarians.

hey @deanbphillips any updates?

[NewsWire @NewsWire_US]

Dean Phillips warns Democrats could lose midterms if far-left socialist Zohran Mamdani elected NYC mayor

[charlie @pinko_matter]

The concept of "one person, one vote" is unfathomable to Republicans. They need to distort the weight of a vote in order to win.

[The Voice of Reason @HooserReason]

This is exactly why we need a state level electoral college system.
No more having a couple largely populated areas overrun small communities with zero voice.
The issues we faced when creating the Const with states disparities, we are now seeing internally at a state level.

JUST IN: Haley Stevens threatens to leave the Democratic Party

@nilesh12412 Unfortunately it'll probably just lead to governors appointing DINOs/RINOs who change their party affiliation just so they can be appointed

If I had a nickel for every openly gay politician named Chris Pappas, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[Jessy Han @hjessy_]

Chris Pappas, the openly gay mayor of South Africa's uMngeni municipality, was re-elected yesterday after his Democratic Alliance won in a landslide.

@ferald_gord KLB winning Georgia gives us Ossoff 2028, but maybe more importantly, Hinojosa winning Texas prevents Cruz 2028

[charlie @pinko_matter]

@esjesjesj Someone should ask him what Ted Cruz's and JD Vance's real names are

[charlie @pinko_matter]

anyway...

*Final Senate Prediction*

🔴 53-47 🔵

*Bonus Prediction*

At least one of the four narrowest blue wins - NH/NC/MN/GA - will be narrower than Paxton's victory in TX.

[charlie @pinko_matter]

no really, that's ok Nevada, take your time

[charlie @pinko_matter]

TEXAS IS BACK ON THE MENU

AG Todd Blanche: "There's a scenario where Sen. Sullivan could lose, but really he didn't lose"

[charlie @pinko_matter]

@TylerDinucci Lawler holding NY-17 and LePage flipping ME-02😔

[charlie @pinko_matter]

I don't care how big the Democratic majority is, if they lose ME-02 to Paul LePage I'll cry
