Dumb noise about not “seriously” funding TX for a flip. If we’re actually close to dead even with men nationally then other seats are probably off the board early enough to make TX more than viable for donors
You're not kidding about the dumb. Article defines Cornyn as a moderate and says that national democrats are eyeing Montana as a better spending target. Also says we "held" Montana as recently as 2018, which is false: we won it as recently as 2018, and held it as recently as mid Jan 2025.
Fortunately (?) for us, the DSCC's fundraising is less critical than candidate fundraising. Unless Schumer and Gillibrand work to stop donors from giving to Talarico, I think he'll do OK on money. O'Rourke raise about $80m in 2018? I wouldn't be surprised to see Talarico comfortably exceed that. He probably needs $100m+ to make this credible, which should be doable with good grassroots.
Not to the disabled community. The r-word is the equivalent of the n word for us. Much like the n word, it’s used to imply that people with mental disabilities are stupider and slower than non-disabled people.
In the upcoming Carroll 7 New Hampshire House of Representatives special election, a district with about 13,000 people, someone has decided to create a fake website to attack the Democratic candidate. Weird, desperate behavior.
Obituaries: Former Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D-HI), who ran for several statewide offices as a progressive but lost to moderate opponents, has died at 74.
Rest in peace. I still don’t get how she lost to Ige even after the whole mess with the missile alert notification, I’m not from Hawaii but it looked like she would have been a good governor.
Rumors are it's part of a Chuy Garcia / Steve Daines-style handoff.
Uh oh
This doesn’t seem quite as egregious as the Daines situation
WTF was the deleted post? These constant deletions are really annoying!
It was a different article showing Desmond's candidacy. My apologies. Should have edited.
No problem.

CA-48, CA-49: Darrell Issa pulled a Chuy Garcia/Steve Daines. His Republican successor is Jim Desmond, who ran in the 49th previously.
Boy bye
This is getting ridiculous. I was upset when the Chuy thing happened for this exact reason. We need legislation to stop this insanity.
Damn! So we don't have Darrell Issa to kick around anymore?
I'm OK with that...
Until he runs in the 40th in 2028 and kicks out Ken Calvert or Young Kim.
Or in Texas's 32nd. Not sure if he'd run against Jace Yarbrough, though. Maybe if Dan Barrios pulled off an upset.

Phil Berger is probably gone: https://nitter.poast.org/PollTracker2024/status/2030058573921743159#m
First Tillis and now Berger.

WA state senator Leonard Christian (R) used the r slur on the floor of the legislature, and it's controversial.
Personally, I don't like the word and don't use it, but it's less egregious than say, the n word.
Worse than the F word though.
The context for this was troubling. He grouped the "r words" in with rapists to criticize the prison system. Clearly, they're not the same.
When in doubt, assume it’s a legislator from Spokane Valley.

I know. My previous comment was pretty insensitive, sorry if I offended or anything of the sort.
That’s fine. I felt it was important to provide context.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) will vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin as DHS secretary. I imagine his colleague, Bernie Sanders, will certainly not.

How does he think that will make it better?
Basically an Independent. It likely won't save him as CA-6 is too blue.
