Hoping that Crockett campaigns hard for Talarico -- her energy and her passionate supporters would be tremendously helpful.
I also want her to do that because it keeps her in the game, keeps her relevant. She's been one of my favorites in the House and I'm sad she won't be in the next Cognress
That's one of his strongest positions and why I feel fine about his religiosity.
After all, some of our greatest leaders (MLK) were very religious.
she certainly wants to be
The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...
Bravo!!
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
I hope every country he asks to use their military bases tells him to self-fornicate in a vat of acid. Cyprus paid when the UK said the US could use RAF Akrotiri. Fortunately no casualties, but it's a matter of time.
The replacement cost for the three planes shot down in Kuwait: $360 million.
The cost to feed every student in Wisconsin breakfast and lunch for 2 years: $311 million.
Our priorities are fucked.
"Overall, 19.5% of registered voters cast ballots in the primary election β about half voted early. Thatβs just shy of the 2022 midterm primaryβs 19.8% turnout, and higher than the average midterm primary turnout."
That's sad but I think it's fairly standard

Likely they are lying about their religious beliefs.
But some religions oppose vaccines, e.g., Christian Science. Parents have let their children die rather than give them life-saving medical treatment (and some were appropriately prosecuted for doing that).

WATCH β @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoemβs spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlinβs husbandβs company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet itβs barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

who made this
results from NC Democratic primary showing Roy Cooper got 92% of the Democratic primary vote. But NYTimes showed it in purple, not blue?
NC republican primary results showing candidate Whatley got ~65% of the republican primary vote. Displayed in republican red.
What's with the NY Times displaying Roy Cooper's primary win in purple instead of blue, while republican Whatley is still dressed in republican red?
On another note: Total Dems voting ~825K
Total republicans voting ~626K
But looking at results with 92% of vote in (from NY Times)
Total Democratic votes=764K
Total republican votes = 605K
~340K republican votes vs >400K Democratic votes
oh yeah. Paxton screwing with the vote. republicans always cheat.
NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia β and say theyβll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

He surely did. He's a lot smarter than trump and plays him very well.
But as @rachelmadnow.bsky.social pointed out, this attack was also doing the bidding of several gulf nations who had been heavily bribing various trump family members.
An unholy (truly) alliance of MBS & netanyahu.
Worthwhile if it gets us the majority but letβs not forget Massie is the one who sent out Xmas cards of his family all armed to the teeth
Heβs principled which is admirable but his views on most issues are the opposite of ours
More Democrats need to be like Chris Murphy

You're trying to get what you need for the family and your little one has just reached their limit
It's rough
One of the few times I've shared music with my family members and everyone loved it!
(Yes, saw it was from 2018 but that was also a trump time of life)
Okay *cracks knuckles*. Hereβs a non-exhaustive list of things Iβm doing.
1. Suing DoJ for Epstein training videos
2. Suing DOGE for documents
4. FOIA request for DHS OHC memo authorizing warrantless home entry
5. FOIA for kidsβ letters confiscated by ICE at Dilley
6. FOIA for USAID docs 1/
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.
Every blue state needs to pass a law that bans ICE and other Federal Agents from an exclusion zone around polling places and ballot drop boxes. www.vermontpublic.org/2026-02-20/l...
