Melissa Hernandez levied a bigot attack, sought the questions ahead of the debate, reduced the length from 90 to 60 minutes, laid claim to a local congressional endorsement that doesn't exist, and violated the rules by bringing her phone on stage. No wonder she didn't want to debate in the primary.

A campaign team that tries to sand down a candidate’s “rough” edges or hide the candidate’s authentic self completely misunderstands what voters are hungry for in 2026. Realllllly hope the Jackson staff takes the obvious frustration to heart here… nymag.com/intelligence...

nymag.com/intelligence... It is undeniable. The party would rather see Troy Jackson lose than have him win as a progressive. This is the single most infuriating article I have read about the democrats this year. If Troy Jackson loses, it will be Schumer and the DSCC's fault

Take with a grain of salt, but I'm hearing through the grapevine that Maine Dem staffers are very unhappy with the DSCC and that there is still a sense that the national party is trying to tank the election (for some reason) and misrepresent Troy Jackson's politics

The only reason that some people are demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. Period.

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Like most everyone else it seems, I rewatched Clue last night. When we talk about movies you couldnt make today, Clue is a good example. A movie like Clue today would stumble over how to balance noir atmosphere with slapstick and integrating self referential humor without sacrificing genuine jokes.

The only problem with Dana Nessel threatening to leave the Democratic party is that she shouldnt be leaving, she should be kicked out. She is a bigot and has no place within the Democratic party. The faster we kick the islamaphobic pro genocide wing out, the better

A big problem with the democratic leadership is that they don't believe that Trump and the GOP are fascist or even proto fascist, but voters do. "Resist" style politics is just rhetoric to them, not ideology

It looks specifically like criticism of Israel’s genocide. It’s even at the embassy. Anyone calling this antisemitism just doesn’t want to face what Israel is doing or they approve.

Reading the news of brewery closures in Milwaukee (in this case Supermoon's taproom) is always depressing. It feels like culture is dying. The 2010s-early 2020s saw this resurgence of localized products and cultures in the form of craft beer, and now we are fading back to corporate homogeneity

Not a single attack ad on Crowley has aired yet. Hong's last minute tumble in some polling was because both Tiffany and Crowley were running attack ads. Hmm. I wonder why Tiffany was running attack ads on Hong before the primary...

If Crowley wins tonight (as he is currently trending to do) then I will support him but I'm calling it now that I do not think he will win. I think Hong, though not without baggage, stood better general election odds. Undecided voters won't get excited for Mr "more data centers and VC in Wisconsin"

You can always tell when a Journo isnt from WI. that Hong is less electable than Barnes/Crowley completely ignores that they are from MKE, and the rest of the state hates MKE. MKE is great, but the Bulwark has probably never asked someone from a suburb of Green Bay or La Crosse their opinion on it
