Utah Rep. Celeste Maloy has never had an easy primary during her short career, but she finally got some good news on Wednesday.
Any celebrations were very brief, though. We explain the tumultuous few days the Utah congresswoman just experienced.
Three of the four Dems who voted against the war powers resolution are usual suspects (Jared Golden, Henry Cuellar, Greg Landsman), but I'll be really curious to hear from CA Rep. Juan Vargas. It appears he hasn't said anything at all about his vote.
CA's candidate filing deadline is tomorrow, btw.
"yeah I rigged my race, fuck you" is a fascinating message to go with
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
Ah but did they talk about the firing?
And that!
Damnit Adam I thought this meant Jon Lovitz had died and I didn't know!
*County* offices are very powerful but get almost no attention. On The Downballot podcast this week, we aim to remedy that by talking to Erie County Executive @markpoloncarz.bsky.social, whose new group, @boostingleaders.bsky.social, is helping elect Dems to these posts nationwide. Listen here! →
Let me be clear: Rep. Marie @gluesenkampperez.house.gov's stunt didn't fix a damn thing. Preventing incumbents from engaging in filing-deadline shenanigans has to be addressed at the state level.
But Republicans eagerly piled on to condemn Garcia. Let's see them do the same for Daines.
Just last fall, when Dem Rep. Chuy Garcia engineered something similar in Illinois, the House formally voted to rebuke him.
So, will the Senate do the same to Daines? If anything, his offense is worse. Garcia schemed over one of 435 House seats. Daines did this for one of just 100 Senate seats.
BREAKING: A conservative activist handing out campaign checks to lawmakers on the House floor did not violate the Wyoming Constitution or constitute legislative misconduct, an investigative panel concluded.
But such conduct "was undesirable and must never occur again."
A truly crazy day in Montana politics began with former University of Montana President Seth Bodnar announcing he'll run as an independent and ended with Republican Sen. Steve Daines suddenly taking his name off the ballot so his chosen replacement could run with minimal primary opposition.
The first sentence is really something too. Get a load of those choices! Option A: tell Trump to get fucked. Option B: do what Trump wants. What a sticky situation!
Hah man this is just extraordinary. Democrats have an “awareness” of this stone cold rock solid immutable fact, huh? www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

The ... the demon Tarnak? Tarnak is on Trump's side? Well fuck.
Doomer reply guy game has gotten so, so weak
The more I think about it, the more I feel it would be *unlawful* for NY courts to follow this "order."
This isn't much different than Louisiana indicting abortion doctors in other states. They simply have no jursidiction.
Same here—being the "Supreme" Court doesn't magically give you jurisdiction
Trump is *outright saying* he thinks the runoff should be canceled!
"The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas ... cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer."
And yet he hasn't canceled it. Funny that.
Trump doesn't worry about precedent, though. He's never held his fire because Dems have.
LOL I mean, I'd accept this as a very hilarious answer!
Every time someone points out to the doomers that Trump didn't cancel *this* election, there's always an excuse—usually that the "stakes are too low" and "Trump doesn't care."
The stakes are high as possible in #TXSen, and we know Trump cares. So why didn't he just declare Cornyn the winner?
Clippers' jerseys feeling very smug at the moment
Concur all around. I think plaintiffs should file ... something before the New York courts explaining why SCOTUS' order isn't binding. But given that we're in uncharted waters, what would that filing look like, or what would it even be called?
I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?
