if anything she was hampered by the fact that she didn’t believe what she was selling in 2024, when she was trying to back away from those platitude

The settlers are so fucking nuts. I've said this before but it's legitimately like an insane social experiment where hellenistic age sheep herders and religious extremists are being brought to live in the modern age except they're also backed by a nuclear power
even if your logic is "well of Course the Republican Party would attack KLB on this regardless of how the family feels", that's still the Republican Party's fault

Yah, if you aren’t against Elon at this point. You’re anti-Texan. Elon wants steal all this state has to offer for himself. Vote Talarico and (I thought I’d never say this) vote Hinijosa against Abbott. He’s going to say he’ll deal with this in the next session but it never happens.

Begich hangs on for sure -- I think there was something intriguing going on in SD (ex-Rep Larry Pressler runninng as an Indy), and Montana *could* have seen Brian Schweitzer jump in and hold it that way.
And then there's GA/KY/KS in the way of potential flips.

Republicans have literally been in power in Texas for the past 30 years. They have no answers to the problems THEY have created.
Also, if you think an actor is going to influence me to vote for them you have no idea who I am lmaoooo

The opening salvo in the mass denial about the party's future that anti Trump conservatives will be engaged in for the next two years. This foolishness we have a GOP senator who did nothing but glaze Trump's cock for a decade saying we need to investigate his ties to Putin
The Senate campaigns exaggerate the stakes for 2027-28 and understate the stakes for the following four years. @PostOpinions washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Certainly aren’t losing patience with our money, diplomatic support, or the blood of our servicemen. Don’t be entitled.
Or why Israelis are losing patience with many American Jews.
Israel’s kids are fighting, dying, loving, marrying and raising families in an expanding vibrant population. They have learned bitterly the lessons of delusion and the wages of complacence.
A lot of American Jews get it. A lot.
But perhaps those specific finger-wagging self-righteous young American Jews who feel inconvenienced by their cousins’ fight for survival ought to pause and reflect for a moment in between their double-soy lattes and vegan burgers and instead spend more time understanding and appreciating Israelis for sacrificing so much for the survival of the Jewish people rather than admonishing them.
They are the future of the Jewish people.

You know, this would be immensely tasteless and ugly even in a protestant context where you don't think your pastor is God's special envoy to boss the church around.
Faced with the prospect of a shorter-than-expected papacy, questions arise about how Pope Leo might approach his time as pontiff going forward. americamagazine.org/vatican-…

The Insurrection Act is in fact the trigger to pull off their coup. Their entire purpose in 2027 will be to cause enough chaos provoke Trump into using the Insurrection Act. Then a bunch of coordinated responses will kick off, and the intended effect will be to put America governance itself on trial for 2028 and rewrite the Constitution.
I don't disagree that Biden remaining the nominee leads us to a world where flipping Mississippi might still not be enough for a Senate majority -- but she still lost.

I am always confused by anecdotes like this. Are there substantial sums of people who don't look up how long a journey will be before they start driving?
No directions, just "i want to go south, i reckon it'll take 6 hours or so?"

The funniest part about this tweet is that Winnetka Illinois is *currently* 88% white, significantly whiter than the U.S. as a whole was in 1992 when this movie came out
there is hype, but there are fundamental factors:
- the incumbent SOS (not Engling) screwed the pooch
- sitting governor Mike Braun is also very unpopular
- you have the mod-conservative former Indianapolis mayor running third party, and a libertarian running fourth-party
Neither Warnock, nor Hamilton, nor Talarico demand that you follow his faith or else, Republicans do. Maybe that's why "the seculars" vote Democratic.

I do think it’s the best strategy for Keisha to just tie @RickJacksonGA to an incredibly unpopular president. Considering Rick is tryna run away with him while also tryna court his supporters, tryna have it both ways
