Things-people-forget Dept.: In the 2018 Florida governor's race, Ron DeSantis bested very progressive opponent Andrew Gillum by only half a percentage point. So it isn't unthinkable that Angie Nixon could win a statewide race there.

HISTORIC SHOCK DSA Victory In Florida

Great analysis from Krystal Ball on Angie Nixon's surprise victory. She's in agreement with me and Hasan Piker on how being "under the radar" helped her.

The Florida Senate race has been called for Angie Nixon! The Florida Senate race has been called for Angie Nixon! This is BIG, BIG news! It's a shock upset! It keeps the Troy Jackson/Abdul El-Sayed/Peggy Flanagan wave going!

He's got it right. The factional struggle has been there for quite some time. Don't expect the midterms to resolve it. The midterm results will set up the race for the 2028 presidential nomination. There will be candidates representing both factions.

'Wild at Heart' 4K Restoration from The Criterion Collection Unveiled at Bologna's Piazza Maggiore — PHANTASMAG

This release is long overdue. The current Shout Factory Blu-ray is not a very good transfer. Also, it's impossible to find this movie on any streaming service.

I've always had a thing for misfit alien characters. Superman may be a less obvious one, but he feels alienated too sometimes.

Also, he cheated on his history exam in the third grade and was put on detention for three days in the sixth grade for an out-of-control snowball fight. And when he was in college, he posted on social media that he refuses to celebrate Columbus Day. Clearly he must be stopped.

Sean Hannity's old "liberal" co-host Alan Colmes (left) has risen from the grave to appear on Morning Joe and discuss how DSA and Hasan Piker should immediately be crushed.

I understand there's an opening for White House Press Secretary.

Remember when Howard Dean said, "The best way to get power is to give it away"? This sure isn't the thinking of Democrats who want to crush DSA, The Sunrise Movement, and Hasan Piker.

Matt Little prevails in the 2nd District, expanding progressive wins in Democratic primaries

Belated congratulations to progressive Matt Little for winning the nomination in Minnesota's 2nd District. He's a good deal more progressive than Angie Craig, who vacated this seat to mount a losing campaign for U.S. Senate.

Francesca Hong take note: Abdul El-Sayed ran for the Michigan Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2018 and lost to Gretchen Whitner. He is now the party-endorsed candidate for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat in 2026.

We're pretty effing cool here in Minnesota. Well, a lot of the time we are.

People who I loved to mock in years past like Chris Matthews and Paul Begala are now coming out of the woodwork to tell us how DSA must be stopped now. I've heard so little from Matthews and Begala for a while that I just about forgot they existed. They're two people I'd rather forget.

Why Is the Establishment So Afraid of Hasan Piker? David Sirota Explains

Sirota's view -- which I agree with -- is that Piker, who has been very successful, is considered a threat to the power of the cable news networks.

I love the victory margin here. I was worried this was going to be very close, and it wasn't close at all. This is especially impressive when you consider the obscene amounts of money pumped into Craig's campaign. Results like this make me glad I'm a Minnesotan.

The Wisconsin Governor's race is very, very tight right now. It could go either way.
