Very glad that White had a narrow win in the Ga State Senate Special Election. Good to keep the seat, even if we get it back in November, with the special sessions Kemp wants to call.
As a constituent in MD-06 I am sickened by Delaney’s weak record—especially her ICE enablement, which she is totally 100% lying about. But to top that off, Delaney is completely lying about Mr Trone’s record. I am not a huge fan of either billionaire and want a regular person to finally represent us in Congress! But Trone is a far more reliable liberal with a much more progressive record than Delaney….and he has a good heart despite his enormous ego. Additionally, after the IRS incorrectly denied my Clean Vehicle Credit of $7500 for a new car I bought in Sept 2025, I asked Delaney’s office for help. Submitted a case and all the necessary supporting documents. Crickets. Got one email saying “we’ve referred you to a taxpayer advocate.” Thanks a fucking lot. Useless!!
The choice in MD-06 is clear this year.
I really wish Joe Vogel would run again (he should’ve won the primary in 2024!).
GREAT night for progressives in DC: White won his primary for delegate outright, while JLG, Raj, and Silverman are heavily favored to win their primaries for mayor, Ward 1 councilor, and at-large councilor respectively.
Still disappointed that Oklahomans voted against the minimum wage initiative last night. You let Republicans fool you into voting against a wage raise.
It didn't help that the MAGA governor purposely kept it off the Nov 2024 ballot (where it would've been approved) and instead put it on the 2026 primary ballot, rightfully thinking less people would vote for it.
Quibbling with the phrasing in the Orange County section. Dixon didn't "lead" on election night and Foley didn't "pull ahead" after. The race is static from the moment polls close, there is just a wait for all the results to come in. Implying there is continued movement based on vote count distribution and timing is misleading. My quick summation would be something like "The initial vote count on election night showed Dixon up 49-45 until full results from mail ballots confirmed Foley to be ahead."
FL seems like a state where we'd benefit a lot from differential turnout. I'm skeptical we can benefit enough to actually win either of these races or another big statewide like the AG race, but maybe one of them will be interesting in October.
The Florida AG seat has had the Democratic candidate leading longer than the governor or Senate races. I think the AG seat could flip even if the other two don’t.
I'm in the OC 5th supervisor district and had predicted a Foley/Dixon race would be close in a pairing of former mayors of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. There is no more purple area than this one. With the third candidate Vellema's positions, however, I expect most of the Vellema vote to go to Foley. Not that newspaper endorsements matter that much, but the OC Register, a right wing libertarian rag, actually endorsed Foley, and a Democratic endorsement by the OCR is rare indeed.
OK, I'm going to be "that guy" because this is one of my pet peeves...
"With almost all of the vote counted from the June 2 nonpartisan primary, Democratic incumbent Katrina Foley holds a tiny 47.0 to 46.8 majority over Republican Assemblywoman Diane Dixon in the 5th District. "

Esp, if some rando R who is very likely to lose in the fall got elected. Could do whatever in special sessions a normie politician won’t ever do.

Agree with everything but Vogel lol
Pam Evette might be looking next door this morning and realizing that Trump endorsement isn’t gonna save her ass.

Less likely, but Oye Owolewa, who is WFP-endorsed, currently also leads his at-large council seat.

I don’t think they are being fooled. At what point do we just accept that these are the policies that they want? I’m tired of coddling them.

If JJR wins the AG seat but Vindman loses, hopefully he is open to the possibility of running for the full term in 2028.

I think you mean plurality, not majority! :D
