I enjoyed her comments in the link about Hinson and the ugly bill, and she seems like a good potential candidate. People in IA-02 may like her Presbyterian ministry and service-oriented career. Where did you see that she's a veteran? I couldn't find that reference. She was born in 1980 and seems to have been pretty busy with her education and service, although I suppose she could have served as a chaplain in the reserves or something along the way. Regardless—I like her.
Isn't Bradley the one that's always the most upset whenever a decision isn't the most conservative one possible? Could be that now that she's out of the majority that she finds it too miserable to stay on the court. She would inevitably make giant piles of cash after the fact if she opted to retire too.
That would make her lots of money for little effort for sure. I wasn't even thinking that grifter-y. She could get hired by some law firm and paid a lot more than she makes now. Done largely so the firm could attach "former state supreme court justice" to their list of connections.
That's what I think about basically any politician past their sell by date who holds onto office until they die. Just go join some corporate boards, be a college president, get some job as an "advisor" somewhere, there are plenty of opportunities out there for you.
Yes. Her dissents since actual judges took control have been unhinged rants replete with ad hominems. She is miserable, as you point out, in more ways than one. And she may see some writing on the wall for her upcoming election. Regardless, she is no reasonable jurist and I hope she's soon off the bench, whether she resigns or loses the election. As Michael says below, there must be some $weet job for her as a TV legal analyst somewhere—and she wouldn't be so bothered by pesky liberals trying to help people and improve their lives.
I'm guessing that the differences in ad spending aren't so great as to make the difference in the votes. All 3 candidates would have gotten their messages out.
Nunn saying that he won't run and Trump saying that he is running tells you all about the Republican party. When a man can't abide by his own decision and Trump tells him that he is running tells it all. If anyone had any doubts about the republicans having a mind of their own and being capable of making decisions of their own choice - that was proved wrong. The only one running the republican party is Trump and every Republican in Congress is ruled by Trump. The only thoughts that they can have are Trump's thoughts. Not a free world anymore, one that people can make informed decisions on their own, but have to do whatever their big daddy tells them to do. So sad, that they are so stupid that they can't even think for themselves and say "no, I make my own decisions." What a way to run a government or anything else. I know the democrats have to grow a spine, but so do the republicans.
Yeah assuming we get some kind of a wave IA-03 should be ripe enough to say: "You don't even want to be our representative, your choice to be on this debate stage is not even your own."
This in a competitive district where being "100% MAGA", whether true or not, is not the general election selling point that Trump and allies think it is...
Proportionally speaking, Hawaii has produced a lot of crappy Dems. Case has countless offenses, his views, his votes, his mouth, his selfish electoral decisions...for decades now. Tulsi Gabbard is one of the worst humans alive. Her father was on the frontlines against gay marriage. Kai Kahele worked remotely so he could work as a commercial pilot on the side (imagine if a Dem were caught doing something like that today, with the margins and what's at stake). David Ige's administration scared the holy shit out of every single person in his entire state. Abercrombie spent most of his terms as one of the least popular governors in the country. I've liked Brian Schatz in the past, but his vote to fund the Trump government was an obvious tack to the nonexistent middle to help him become Dem Leader, apparently one not much different than Chuck Schumer. LOVE Mazie Hirono.
Don't know enough to argue his full career but the "Cuomo not the homo" thing is a stain. His 84 convention speech (wasn't around but took the time to listen) was great though also shows how little convention speeches effect the outcome of an election.
"Fred Dicker, who is working on a biography of Governor Andrew Cuomo, interviewed Neal Barsky, the creator of the documentary Koch. Dicker said there was “no physical evidence” that such signs ever existed, and asked Barsky whether the story about them could be “a canard.” (Investigative journalist Wayne Barrett has also said he’s never seen physical evidence that the signs existed, or met anyone who has.)
"Barsky, in a tweet after the interview, said, “I’m pretty sure they existed; maybe not as many as some say.”"
It arguably made Mario Cuomo's career as a serious national politician, which manifested itself in his "Hamlet On the Hudson" act: in the later 80s and early 90s he was constantly touted for president and played along with the speculation to some degree, but of course never actually ran and maybe never really wanted to.
For a more satisfying example of a Democratic convention keynote launching a national career, there's of course Barack Obama.
I do think that plenty of Republicans would vote for Adams or Cuomo to counter Mamdani in a General Election, but only if one of them becomes the clear alternative to Mamdani. There's no particular love for Silva. In fact, I suspect most NYC Republicans would prefer Adams to Silva...unclear if that's true of Cuomo. Overall, I'd consider Adams to be the bigger danger to Mamdani than Cuomo.
The Epstein issue is clearly hurting Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel and Dan Bongino of the FBI, with the MAGA world – and it’s not going away. That may well impact the overall political discourse and thus elections.
The latest ad from The Lincoln Project about the unreleased Epstein Files is terrific, entirely in line with the Drudge Report, and well worth sharing far and wide!
The best part is that there probably isn’t a file showing what MAGA thinks it would show (and one never existed) but they hyped it up so much on the campaign trail they can’t now back down
They think that both Bill and Hillary Clinton, plus Barack Obama, are in the Epstein files. Bill is on it, but Hillary or Obama aren't. Nor the Bidens for that matter.
QAnon and MAGA losing their shit over FDJT's coverup of the Epstein files is GOLD for Democratic opposition groups. Wedge it like they did with Benghazi.
Laura Loomer, a leading anti-intellectual of the MAGA blogosphere, is calling for special counsel to investigate Epstein files. I’m sure AG Bondi and DJT are thrilled about this development. Pass the popcorn, please!
Hope Trump keeps on continuing doing what he’s doing, especially to the conspiracy theory nutcases like Alex Jones. Still trying to decipher why the whole Epstein fiasco is making him barf. Oh wait, it’s Jones’ base.
Although I am most definitely not being complacent, getting conspiracy theorists pissed is certainly not what I was anticipating heading to 2026.
Given the loyalty/purity tests the left is accused of giving to Democrats (sometimes justly), curious if they apply to Andrew Cuomo's independent bid? Did he find a line to run on or will he make his own party line? The creepy rejected nepo sex pests who left office in disgrace party?
“Our goal is to create a situation in which the political divide no longer runs between the AfD and the other political currents, but rather one in which a bourgeois-conservative camp and a radicalizing left-wing camp face each other, comparable to the situation in the U.S.,” reads an internal party paper, seen by POLITICO. The aim, according to the strategy, is to create a “duel between two irreconcilably opposed camps.”
Edit: I don't see this happening because Germany is a free market Social Democracy with strong safety nets not end stage capitalism.
I am implying that some progressives are spending more time attacking the Democratic establishment than they do attacking Trump and therefore they aided Trump in his rise to power much as Ernst Thalmann did when he refused to work with the more centrist coalition to stop Hitler in Germany. Some people can't see beyond their own ideological urinating contest to realize that we can't afford infighting over ideology when stopping Trump should be our only priority right now.
Regardless, Thalmann was a literal communist so I would be careful with using him as an example of what you think factions of the left are doing.
Also that's a bit rich considering multiple centrist Democrats have refused to endorse Mamdani in a mayor's race with a non-zero chance of electing Adams or Cuomo.
People like Rahm Emanuel, Torres and Philips; centrist Democratic strategists and commentators thrash Dems brand more than they attack Republicans by repeatedly invoking toxicity, bathrooms, classrooms, weakness and wokeness which other Democrats who appear on cable news like Ro Khanna, Klobuchar then have to answer.
It's a really imperfect analogy because we don't have political coalitions in the US. There is decent evidence that left-wing voters staying home may have cost us the 2024 election, but that's very different than what happened at the end of the Weimar Republic, where the KPD refused to join an anti-Nazi government, leading to Hitler's election as chancellor. There isn't an elected Democrat who has called for progressives to withhold their support for the Democratic leadership in congress, for example.
There is just one poll conducted by a Muslim cultural Institute along with YouGov which says that. Gaza wasn't even in the top 10 issues polled in all surveys. Nate Cohn, David Shor Blue Rose Research and Pew Research's individual reports say that with higher turnout, Trump would have won a landslide.
No-one could really be the equivalent to the leader of a huge party controlled by Stalin, though. The self-styled left-wingers you mention are a bunch of lesser players.
New: Memo from Democratic ad firm Van Ness Creative Strategies first shared with Semafor says the party's leaders are still failing to communicate online. The firm says if Democratic elected officials still feel uncomfortable posting "now is a great time to retire."
Interesting that they call Mamdani's campaign "extremely online". Yes, he went viral online in a big way, but he also spent a lot of time talking to people in person, and it's been pointed out that he had a huge number of volunteers canvassing. So while it's obviously crucial to appeal to people online, no-one should have the illusion that in-person campaigning has become unimportant.
It seems like to lesson from Mamdani is to be in-person everywhere and film and post it so you’re online everywhere. My 17 year-old son learned about Mamdani before I did because Mamdani’s content showed up my son’s feed and we live in the Midwest.
Though Trump has yet to tip his (small) hands, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has come down squarely on the side of the incumbent, John Cornyn, in his primary race against Ken Paxton for Senate from Texas. Responding to State Senator Angela Paxton's announcement that she was suing her husband, the state attorney general, for divorce, NRSC spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez stated: “What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time.” However, Paxton is leading Cornyn by a wide margin in the polls. Spousal abuse is no impediment to placing a MAGA miscreant in office.
In regards to Alabama, and really a lot of other races, it feels like a "Navy Seal Veteran" is running in about 10% of every race out there. I'm exaggerating, but a lot of them seem to be seeking office.
Has Clyburn retracted his endorsement of Cuomo "on character" now that he has ditched the party? Or is he fine with him ditching the Democratic party post-double digit loss. Does "vote blue no matter who" apply when they don't get their way?

Yeah, I'm sure she could be a "legal expert" on Fox or some other right-wing trash "medium".
That would make her lots of money for little effort for sure. I wasn't even thinking that grifter-y. She could get hired by some law firm and paid a lot more than she makes now. Done largely so the firm could attach "former state supreme court justice" to their list of connections.

Would not surprise me if she is on Trump's short list for a life-long judicial position.
terrifying

Hawaii's conservative Democrat Ed Case will probably get a primary challenge.
New - Congress poll - Pennsylvania #10
🔵 Stelson 46%
🔴 Perry (Inc) 43%
Public policy #C (🔵) - RV - 7/11
Good, Case sucks and I say that being fairly moderate. Hawaii can do much better
Proportionally speaking, Hawaii has produced a lot of crappy Dems. Case has countless offenses, his views, his votes, his mouth, his selfish electoral decisions...for decades now. Tulsi Gabbard is one of the worst humans alive. Her father was on the frontlines against gay marriage. Kai Kahele worked remotely so he could work as a commercial pilot on the side (imagine if a Dem were caught doing something like that today, with the margins and what's at stake). David Ige's administration scared the holy shit out of every single person in his entire state. Abercrombie spent most of his terms as one of the least popular governors in the country. I've liked Brian Schatz in the past, but his vote to fund the Trump government was an obvious tack to the nonexistent middle to help him become Dem Leader, apparently one not much different than Chuck Schumer. LOVE Mazie Hirono.
One-party states (and Hawaii is an extreme version of that even by lopsided U.S. standards) with insular politics tend to produce a lot of duds
Hirono is amazing. I hope she's around a while longer.
Brian Schatz has done no wrong. He's sane and has a moral compass.
Voting for the Trump funding bill was doing wrong, as far as many Democrats are concerned.
And we all know why he did it, which makes it doubly wrong.
Literally any Dem is an upgrade
And the PA-10 rematch is on...
https://nitter.poast.org/JanelleStelson/status/1944742762072424799#m
Sounds good; she came close the last time.
In the past, I thought Justin Douglas would make a good candidate; now, I think he might end up being Fetterman Jr.
There's another rematch in Iowa. Rebecca Cooke, a Blue Dog and New Dem, was recently endorsed by Bernie Sanders. She's running in a light red seat.
Cooke is WI-03, correct?
Yes, and apparently, Sanders is currently the most popular politician among Independents after Obama which is why she sought his endorsement.
Ed Fucking Case is still in Congress?
Cuomo doesn't know when to take a hint. Mamdani is going to beat him like a drum.
NYC poll Mamdani up by 16. https://x.com/ryanodonnellpa/status/1944739141712773153
Hope Mandani clears 50 and crushes Cuomo for good. Also "Fight and deliver" what a joke.
Cuomo neglects to mention in the party name that he's for fighting democrats in order to deliver to republicans.
In other words, continuing the strategy and policy Andrew Cuomo implemented as Governor of New York.
Perhaps it’s impermissible to say, but I really wish we could bury Andrew and bring Mario back to life. Mario was a politician of integrity!
Don't know enough to argue his full career but the "Cuomo not the homo" thing is a stain. His 84 convention speech (wasn't around but took the time to listen) was great though also shows how little convention speeches effect the outcome of an election.
Prevalent or a canard?
"Fred Dicker, who is working on a biography of Governor Andrew Cuomo, interviewed Neal Barsky, the creator of the documentary Koch. Dicker said there was “no physical evidence” that such signs ever existed, and asked Barsky whether the story about them could be “a canard.” (Investigative journalist Wayne Barrett has also said he’s never seen physical evidence that the signs existed, or met anyone who has.)

https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2013/03/mario-cuomo-was-disappointed-homo-signs-or-not-007262
(Granted, that article is from 2013. No idea what’s come to light since then.)
It arguably made Mario Cuomo's career as a serious national politician, which manifested itself in his "Hamlet On the Hudson" act: in the later 80s and early 90s he was constantly touted for president and played along with the speculation to some degree, but of course never actually ran and maybe never really wanted to.
For a more satisfying example of a Democratic convention keynote launching a national career, there's of course Barack Obama.
It's hard to know what Mario Cuomo would have done with a Democratic State Senate. I liked him, though.
The Upper West and Upper East Sides of Manhattan were weak spots for Mamdani.
Dropping out isn't a thing. We already know who will be on the ballot; the only question is how hard everyone campaigns.
Cuomo still getting 32% of Dems. If he or Adams drop out, this becomes roughly a toss-up race. Mamdani better hope they both stay in....
There is also the possibility that Mamdani faceplants in the general election.
That said, I agree, if Mamdani is really on 40% in a five-way race, he's probably going to win no matter what.
I do think that plenty of Republicans would vote for Adams or Cuomo to counter Mamdani in a General Election, but only if one of them becomes the clear alternative to Mamdani. There's no particular love for Silva. In fact, I suspect most NYC Republicans would prefer Adams to Silva...unclear if that's true of Cuomo. Overall, I'd consider Adams to be the bigger danger to Mamdani than Cuomo.
Neither will likely drop out; they're both criminals—charged or not—with massive egos.
Any link to the full polling results?
68% of the vote under 45%
Young NYCers are certainly believing in Mamdani and his focus on cost of living.

He created his own party.
Saw it upthread but thanks. Still think creepy rejected nepo sex pests who left office in disgrace party would be a more suitable fit.
Any bets on whether or not New York passes a sore loser law as a result of this election?
You mean to have no fusion voting? I'd say no, because that's so ingrained in New York politics.
Couldn't both co-exist? I haven't thought it through.
They could perhaps prohibit people from creating new parties unilaterally or after declaring a run in one party, but I don't see it.
German far right’s strategy for seizing power: Foment US-style polarization

How very Weimar of them.
And we have plenty of US politicians auditioning for the role of Ernst Thalmann.
Are you implying that US progressives are communists?
I am implying that some progressives are spending more time attacking the Democratic establishment than they do attacking Trump and therefore they aided Trump in his rise to power much as Ernst Thalmann did when he refused to work with the more centrist coalition to stop Hitler in Germany.

It's not the progressive wing of the party that's running someone who lost the primary in NYC's mayoral election.
At best this comparison goes both ways. I'd argue that in net it's more the establishment/moderate wing that is contributing more to infighting.
If you honestly believe this then there is no point in continuing to argue with you.

Lol!
I wonder if another far fight candidate like Wesley Hunt get in now that Paxton is caught up in his divorce drama.
I could see that
Of course there already is another far-right candidate - his name is John Cornyn, and he almost never strays from the MAGA line.
For MAGA, voting with them all the time is not enough- you need to be a cultural bomb thrower as well.
In regards to Alabama, and really a lot of other races, it feels like a "Navy Seal Veteran" is running in about 10% of every race out there. I'm exaggerating, but a lot of them seem to be seeking office.
Are they Democratic veterans?
Usually no, but some are.
Rarely, I think. But I wouldn't exactly expect the Seals to have a ton of Dems.
Appears that Walz is out for 2028 https://x.com/daveweigel/status/1944797411672470027
Probably not for discussion here, though if Walz announced that he were running again for governor or nothing at all it would be.
Please do not discuss 2028 since the Downballot admins as well as the community is against it.
Denying is a crucial part in running for President as Ross Barkan writes BTW.
Has Clyburn retracted his endorsement of Cuomo "on character" now that he has ditched the party? Or is he fine with him ditching the Democratic party post-double digit loss. Does "vote blue no matter who" apply when they don't get their way?
I have no issue with the fact that Biden won due to Clyburn's endorsements but kingmakers should not exist anymore.
