Grown men who can't emotionally regulate will always be as sad as it is funny.

Kickback Collins failing to take any ownership of her Kavanaugh vote tonight really illustrates just how removed she has become from the person Maine first elected 30 years ago.

To be fair, Jon Favreau is about as useful as Susan Collins.

What's equally disturbing here is his wife, Jean Hastert, refused to divorce him and continued to support him during his trial and incarceration. She chose to remain married to a child molester and even drove him home upon his release. Sick.

The filing deadline for the 2027 Wisconsin Supreme Court election is January 1. As of today, 2 Democrats and 0 Republicans have filed to run in February's jungle primary. If Democrats flip this seat, they will increase their majority on the court to 6-1 and solidify a majority through at least 2033.

I'm excited to see 3Q fundraising totals for Talarico, Brown, El Sayed, and Jackson. They're going to be astronomical. I'm guessing Talarico breaks his 2Q record of $30 million. Equally interested in reports for Hamilton, Nixon, Turek, and Peltola.

Sanders could help with donating some of his massive war chest to the state party. He may already have. Hopefully, he has or will.

The 2026 gubernatorial elections are the first battle in the 2030 redistricting wars. If Ds can win in 26, it sets them up to run as an incumbent in 30. Harder to oust. Part of the reason 2010 was so bad for Ds, is many were outgoing Ds elected in 2002 and reelected in the 06 wave.

More likely they're afraid of being sued and tied up in expensive litigation by the current administration.

James and Rogers are about to go 0-5 statewide. Michigan Republicans have literally just been recycling failed candidates since 2018.

Don't forget to kneecap Vance's presidential prospects the way House Republicans did Hillary.

Thankfully, Louisiana voters have been rejecting proposed amendments at the ballot box with great consistency the last few years.

There were also people willing to throw their vote away in 2016 and 2024 that enabled these events.

If Ds should retake the Senate, not a single Trump judge should be confirmed unless a majority of the D caucus supports it.

1956. 1988. We've seen this before. Iowa always swings hard against Republicans when they turn their backs on farmers.

It's hard to understand the thought process of someone like Mike Rogers who couldn't win statewide in a strong Trump year (losing while Trump carried MI), thinking he could pull it off a second time around in a historically atrocious cycle for Rs.

Olympia Snowe subtlety tried to warn us several times about the real Susan Collins. We didn't listen.

Which Democratic held districts do you feel are becoming more anti-trans due to Kaptur?

I get what you're saying. I've just personally never seen the value in moral political victories.

Henry David @henrydavid1.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
If you defeat Kaptur and replace her with a Republican, what do you believe you achieved? You may eliminate one nay vote on an one issue, but you're throwing away a yes vote on scores of other important pieces of policy. Moral victories don't make policy.

Kansas Democrats, like some other red state Democrats, have learned what some of us already know. You nominate candidates who reflect your state/district instead of candidates who reflect the terminally online.

Uncle Roy never loses statewide. He is Republican Kryptonite in North Carolina. Soon to be 7-0.

2022 also didnt feature a statewide race in Virginia. So the data comparison is important, but there's that caveat too.

Maine unloading Susan Collins and Jared Golden in the same cycle is about as big of a glow up as a state can do.

One tidbit to consider: Trump was at -20 in Virginia last November when Spanberger won the governor's race by 15 points. As of a week ago, Civiqs has Trump at -30 in Virginia.

Again, in 30 years, Susan Margaret Collins has never voted to defeat a Republican nominee, no matter how grotesque, unqualified, or dangerous, when presented with the chance to do so.

Has Osborn said who he will caucus with or is he not caucusing with either and forgoing committees?
