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"

A Fucking Wolverine.

Abdul El-Sayed has MAGA fascinated and terrified this election cycle. But I don't think it's (just) because he's Muslim. They don't know how to handle his aggressive and blunt style. It just goes to show the power of Democrats actually fighting back. www.salon.com/2026/10/19/a...

I mean, they are rude. That's what democracy is about. Kinetic, obstreperous, you're not the boss of me.

WATCH: Andy Harris has a crash out after his constituents laugh at him for trying to blame higher gas prices on... Democrats. "You are rude!" #MD01

It’s not just anonymous sources (tho we are in the business of citing people who know what they’re talking about); one of Trump’s top pollsters is on the record throwing cold water on the GOP-wide 2026 anti- Hasan piker electoral strategy which is still going strong at the NRSC, etc. He then…

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖

The two villains of 9/11 Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, who commited the crime George W Bush/Republicans, who ignored the warnings and used the crime as an excuse to attack our freedoms and lie us into a war that killed hundreds of thousands

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

The grit and tenacity that comes when you pull on the block M over your chest is an honor bestowed to only best scholar athletes. One feels the weight of the winningest college football program in history. Let’s not watch the tape.

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

No. Primary margin does not matter, and isn’t predictive of the general election (Obama-Clinton close, Obama-McCain not; Clinton-Sanders close, Trump-Clinton close). Winning the nomination is what matters. Stop trying to force factional infighting on what’s shaping up to be a diverse popular front.

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you
