(Everybody's Waitin' for) The Man with the Bag

I've loved the 1950 original by Kay Starr since I was a kid, but my favorite performance of it thus far is this duet with Darren Criss and Adam Lambert 🎄

I hope you’re not as sad as Doomerella tonight, we cut their lead by a significant margin and that’s going to make the midterms that much scarier for them.

Time for blue states to start witholding the federal taxes of state employees.
The Trump administration plans to block Democratic-controlled states from accessing billions of dollars they need to run their food stamp programs unless governors turn over benefits rolls to federal officials.
Trump administration will block SNAP management funds for blue states
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said officials won’t send money to administer food stamps to states that don’t share information about benefits recipients with the federal government.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Ask yourself this: if the roles were reversed and it was a solid blue seat that went from D +22 to D +6, would you be saying "eh, who cares" or would you need cardiac intervention?

If it's the latter, stop dooming.
longing once again for a world where more people are capable of grasping complex and inscrutable concepts like “it’s still really really good for Democrats if they *lose* by a much smaller margin than expected in Tennessee”

A co-worker son is missing. If anyone sees him please call number on poster. I know it’s a longshot, but the more people that can maybe share on their own platforms the wider the grid becomes to where we can find him. Please share if you can or if you’re willing. Thank you 😊

I'm not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but Edge of Tomorrow is brilliant. Damned shame it didn't make bank in theaters. I feel the same way about Equilibrium (tho I adore Christian Bale 😊)
God damn Edge Of Tomorrow is magnificent. I did not appreciate it enough when it came out

If Democrats are swinging GOP districts by 15 points we are going to go into 1994/2006/2010 territory next year.

Nobody is getting thrown into legal chaos. Pardons are pardons. The end
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

“There is a difference between being surrounded by a religion & having it foisted upon you. The efforts of the Trump administration are the latter, creating uncomfortable & unsafe working conditions for federal employees who either practice a religion that is not Christianity—or no religion at all.”

An 11 point shift towards the Democrats gets you roughly to 2018 "Blue Wave" margins. 15 would nuke both the House and Senate majorities from orbit with votes to spare, to say nothing about state-level GOP majorities.
ok so premature thoughts:

1. this turnout environment was more similar to a regular midterm just due to how nationalized this was

2. that type of turnout dynamic produces D+10-15 overperformances

3. while it is definitely not enough to win TN-07, there are 25-35 districts where that IS enough

Your constant reminder that fascist republicans gerrymandered the shit out of Tennessee, so a Democratic candidate even coming into to play in a deeply red state doesn’t bode well for them. Fuck fascism.

Hell NO.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the backbone of autocratic regimes & women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive.

Stand up. FIGHT back.

The GOP will breathe a sigh of relief without considering how in trouble they truly are - this district went +22 for Trump. The fact the Dem candidate is not just close, but THIS close, should have them shitting their pants tonight, tomorrow, and through the midterms.
⚡️Projections starting to come in calling it for Van Epps 🤖 , despite a huge, very respectable overperformance from Aftyn Behn that speaks volumes about the stiff, angry winds Republicans face the coming midterms. #TN7

DHS under this administration has to be dismantled and people who have disappeared become a priority for law enforcement. No more ICE.
“Is this shit legal?”

How ICE is disappearing people and holding them in a “black hole” where nobody knows where they are, even as they’re hospitalized
