Last year, Virginia Dems and Dem candidates vowed to make progress on affordability if they won a majority in the state House. After winning a trifecta in the state, they’re making it happen.
When Dems are in power in the states, they deliver on their promises.
Miss me with the geriatrics complaining about having to defend their seats when they’re clearly not meeting the moment. No patience for this shit. www.axios.com/2026/03/06/h...
“Must support the Green New Deal (or whatever policy)” is a litmus test but so is “must reject the Green New Deal (or whatever policy)” and I just wish the people calling for no litmus tests would be less hypocritical about it.
The thought of troops on the ground is no big whoop to a draft dodging Commander-in-Chief who thinks soldiers are suckers and losers.

Have Republicans had anything that could even come close to being considered a ‘good’ election night since November 5, 2024?
I can’t think of one.
Let’s keep that streak going.
In the last few hours we have CA GOP Rep. Darrell Issa telling people he won’t run for reelection and CA GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley saying that he is running for reelection as an Independent.
The Republican exodus continues.
Breaking:
WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 20 states sue over new global tariffs Trump imposed after Supreme Court loss.
Lmfao Oh this is going to be so, so fun.....
Trumpian logic...
Of all the horrible, corrupt and incompetent things Kristi Noem has done that would get any other Cabinet secretary fired, the thing that now seems likely to result in her termination is the unpardonable MAGA sin of blaming Trump for her corruption when she got caught.
NEW: Tomorrow, Virginians will begin voting on a redistricting measure that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.
@nataliehausmann.bsky.social explains the legal battles that led to this point and what voters can expect when casting their ballots👇
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:
$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip
And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?
Priorities.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
I don't think that the SAVE act includes anything about points 4 or 5? I think he's just throwing in some anti-trans stuff into his post for the fun of it?
This was a huge @runforsomething.net win for Junior Ezeonu in Texas. www.wfaa.com/article/news...
We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.
With 13 of our 20 contested races called, at least 8 @runforsomething.net candidates in TX either won outright, moved to run offs, or moved on to the general yesterday. Hell yeahhhhhh.
The right candidate can make a long-shot race competitive - but finding the "right" candidate starts long before election day. (Think: Years, not just months.) Invest now get more leaders who reflect their communities in all 50 states. runforsomething.net/donate
Looking at the TX turnout numbers - seems like investing over the long term to build a deep, diverse bench of authentic values-driven leaders who can effectively communicate pays off big time. Really proud of every @runforsomething.net candidate and alum on the ballot yesterday.
OPINION by "The Weeknight" co-host @michaelsteele.bsky.social
"Politics is about power. And in this environment, winning is not just a matter of saying the right things but showing that you’re willing to stand up."

Trump Explodes in Wild 2026 Panic as Texas Senate Results Rattle GOP
As Republicans openly fret about Texas after Democrat James Talarico’s primary victory, a Democratic operative who knows the state boils down what finally winning this Senate seat would truly require.
I genuinely do not understand who the audience for this is
Donald Trump once opposed war and promised to remove America from foreign entanglements.
This is why he broke that promise.
As the Senate map slowly becomes more favorable to Democrats, there are internal GOP rumblings that the NRSC - the Senate GOP campaign committee dedicated to winning elections - is not taking the midterms seriously.
We have a chance to catch them sleeping.

Gas prices are now higher than when Trump took office after surging 27 cents from Trump's war with Iran.
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.
Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.
Our full recap:
By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.
Anyway, what's happening in state legislative primaries in North Carolina rn should have everyone thinking differently about elections this fall -- yes, November is v far away but y'all people are maaaaaaaaaaad at what these MAGA creeps keep getting up to and also at everyone who aids and abets
