Is there anything else unifying the states that have done this, anything at all

In *every* election for *both* House and Senate since 1998, polls have overestimated Democrats by more in red states than blue states (and vice versa) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

No Kings/Vote Early, Fresno, CA 17oct2026 …

No Kings protest in St. Peters, Missouri today. It’s really encouraging to see such enthusiasm from people of all ages.

URGENT: Our No Kings Coalition Instagram has been taken down. At about 1:30 PM ET, Meta froze the main No Kings Coalition Instagram account. This happened at the peak of our national day of action. We need your help to spread the word. Tell them to RESTORE the account. #NoKings #NoKingsVoteEarly

Some utter lunatic is trying to rebuild NYC 1:1 in Cities Skylines II, I have no words for what an unhinged venture this is.

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

What I find jarring here is that Tkacik is a writer and (theoretically) should not miss the connotation of phrases like “insidious nature of the zionist” or “fangs.” It’s possible to walk into questionable words by accident, but it’s a lot harder if you’re a words professional

"'We have confirmation due to communication between Kate and Wilber that he’s in Pearsall for interrogation and still has the bullet lodged in his body. He’s received no pain medication and had to sleep on the floor.'"

i don't think will stancil is transphobic

“Don’t talk about your own experiences of how the online trans community has treated you, that would be harmful becuase they happen to align with stereotypes” say the people *doing the specific things*

What Erin Reed said, very explicitly, is that it’s preferable for Republicans to win instead of Dems who are shaky on trans issues. That’s a de facto endorsement. I’m not sure she actually believes this (it implies we should vote for the Republicans!) but it’s undeniably what she said.

Again, the premise here — that Dems and Republicans *both* want trans people dead — is wildly false. It’s an extraordinarily paranoid and pessimistic frame spread by people who are being irresponsible with the platform and trust they’ve been given.

it's been said before but the man is ideologically opposed to the concept of a mutually beneficial transaction there must be a winner and a loser to every interaction "critical rape theory" is the closest thing he has to a political philosophy

I've started checking on some politics streamers (I know) just to get a sense of things after all the Hasan Piker drama. One of them said something that I think is quite insightful. Essentially, the far left has spent a decade openly saying they want us liberals to be destroyed. Why not fight back?

ha! victory! he's like goddamn Michael Myers every time you think he's down for good he pops right back up to keep stalking you with a big knife

Vance presses Justice Department to investigate hospitals over transgender care

David Crowley: "I especially want to thank Rep. Francesca Hong. Her campaign reminded people across Wisconsin that there are no long shots when it comes to believing in a better future and fighting to expand opportunities to every family ... the real opponent has always been Tom Tiffany."

If Crowley does end up winning, this year will have some nominees with the most bizarre paths to a nomination I’ve ever seen between him and Troy Jackson

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.

Abusers pick victims who others won’t believe ON PURPOSE. Also, that Dropbox full of supposed on exculpatory evidence? It uhhhhh disappeared after a few minutes. And he’s blaming it on a conspiracy at Dropbox.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger announced Friday that she has restored voting rights for 66,085 people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to vote due to past felony convictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.

During the first Trump admin, Border Patrol agents on Facebook were caught mocking dead migrants and calling them "tonks." Trump's CBP officials denied a broader cultural problem and said they'd crack down. During the second Trump admin, it appears they don't even care to pretend anymore.

Reminder that some leftists were upset that Mayor Mamdani disavowed this person and called her "reprehensible," rather than expending political capital defending her.

i'm sorry, my copy must be missing some pages, is this really the entirety of the DSA's foreign policy platform? program.dsausa.org cause "unilateral US withdrawal worldwide", israel/palestine, no sanctions [lol], and abolish ice (Which is not FP) is, uh, remarkably short...

I am absolutely thrilled to have Gov Gretchen Whitmer’s endorsement for U.S. Senate. She is a champion for our state, she understands the stakes of this race and why it’s so important we elect the strongest Dem in this primary, and she gets stuff done for Michigan. Let’s go win!

I think it’s reasonable to have some complicated feelings about this one

The whole McConnell / Kentucky thing at this point is so incredibly revealing. Literally every day a new person goes mega viral on bluesky screaming that Democrats are worthless sellouts if they don’t actively help Republicans, and then turning furiously on anyone who points this out

People who say this bullshit are idiot wreckers. If you can’t see that this seat serves us better effectively vacant, then you just don’t know ball.
