Dear Senate Dems:

DO NOT FUCKING BEND!!

Stand firm.

Not one inch.

Do you hear us? NOT ONE INCH!!

Michaud was actually a Democrat - but any Dem that’s not a white, male, veteran, mill union rep, or dang good hunter has had a rough go at it in the 2nd district.

As a Maine second district voter, I am excited to see what will happen with a real primary where Dems can actually (hopefully) coalesce behind a candidate they want to win, not just ´not lose.´ The swipe at Dunlop was uncalled for, I think, and only cements Golden’s disappointing representation.

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!

In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

If the sandwich stayed whole, the defense meets its goal

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 2d

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

I hope every Senator considering the CR is tracking this. The cruelty is the point and that’s not going to change.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

And Woods hasn’t done 1/10th the town halls and meetings that Platner has. There’s a ton of time until the primaries and Platner is working - quite well - the angle of talking to voters and counting on them looking him in the eye before they make their choice.

Kristi Noem has claimed that "no American citizens have been arrested or detained" by immigration agents, despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Immigration policy expert @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social says the Homeland Security chief "is either ignorant of the facts or not telling the truth."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

Voters will consider whether to adopt Voter ID For ME, a Republican-backed ballot measure, also known as Question 1. Part of a far broader GOP war on mail voting nationwide, Question 1 contains 25 different provisions affecting voting rules, many of them restricting access to mail voting.
