In which Jack Ciattarelli’s “inner-circle advisor” shouts “WE WANT A BAN ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE!”

And, before introducing Jack, assures the crowd that he’s not “taking money from Jews.”

JACK: Let’s hear it for Dr. Nadeem! We met 8 months ago & he hasn’t let me down one day since.

This is not right.

The Downballot makes tons of data available for free.

But when big-name pundits rip off our work without proper attribution or a link—to build up their followings and make money off us? That's bullshit.

This case is especially egregious, but this happens *all* the time.
Another huge special election overperformance for Democrats last night, who are running 15.7% ahead of Harris this year in specials.

I'm resolving to be more constructive and less trolly in my engagement with the Bluesky audience. This is a topic where folks should consider the implications.

The work we do takes resources. Whenever you see someone say, "The D outperformed by 22 pts," that data came from us.

We can only survive if people know we exist. When influential writers pass our work off as their own, that's very damaging.

Grateful for Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s commitment to addiction recovery as Kentucky now has 31 counties certified as Recovery Ready Communities.

Six more Eastern Kentucky counties joined the program, expanding access to treatment and recovery services across the Commonwealth.

Too many Virginians are struggling to keep up with rent, afford a mortgage, or buy their first home.

As Governor, I’ll work to lower housing costs across the Commonwealth — and make us a leader in addressing our nation’s housing affordability crisis.

@frangeladuo.bsky.social I hope when you are on with Momma @stephaniemiller.bsky.social on Friday you talk about how cbs is capitulating to Trump by axing all the minority led tv series on their network for all white led shows.

🚨 BREAKING: At least 16 NC voters wrongly labeled as "never residents" stand to have their Supreme Court votes immediately tossed. #ncpol

I've stayed up all night reaching out to voters and writing. Given the importance and urgency, I've lifted paywall.

At least 16 'never residents' who are poised to have ballots tossed have actually lived in North Carolina
A preliminary review shows many of the 260 voters stand to have their ballots wrongly removed. The North Carolina Court of Appeals is expected to soon direct elections officials to toss out the votes.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Well it’s official. I got off that horrible train wreck of a white supremacist site in Twitter completely. The racism and sexism and homophobia and transphobia were even worse than before the election. I had enough. #fuckElon
