Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

It is crazy how quickly they’ve shifted from arguing about the purported cultural pathologies of black people to arguing that those exact same alleged pathologies are virtues in white peolle

Once Lancaster County, Nebraska starts actually voting like a county whose entire economy is centered on its state capitol and state university, Nebraska could be competitive for a long time!

For the EC, sure. But the GOP’s key structural advantag is the median state voting far to the right of the electorate. And I don’t think they can write off Kansas and Nebraska as flukes!

is that the GOP’s whole post-war claim to superior legitimacy due to real America and muh red counties hinges on the entire middle of the country being ruby red.

M.B. @mabilesimo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
So it’s dumb, but it’s my belief that losing Kansas and Nebraska will be more devastating to the GOP psyche than losing Texas or FL/OH/IA being competitive again…

It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:

I have seen two different pro Husted ads from a PAC called “Defend American Jobs” and neither actually has the word “jobs” in it.

That’s interesting because vibes would lead you to believe it’s the places that went from being 90% white to 75% white that really took a reactionary turn.

Just an absolute embarrassment for this franchise. Rodgers, Metcalf, No Porter… every major Khan decision is imploding right now.

True but the Steelers might have the worst secondary in football. Receivers have been wide open for weeks rancid QB play weeks 1-2 masked it.

Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy are sneaky tanking by allowing this farce to continue.

It’s a shame there was nothing the Steelers could do recently to immediately improve their secondary! Is anyone accountable for anything in this organization?

Another ticky tack call made against Metcalf. If this were the NBA a coach would take T complaining about it.

DOJ gave these texts to Schmitt. In simple terms the DOJ supplied Schmitt w/material for him to use to try to entrap Smith so the DOJ could then prosecute him for perjury.

We should accept every important statewide Wisconsin election will be a nail biter that won’t get called until the next morning the same way we’ve kind of accepted the Pacific time zone states count their votes painfully slowly.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

it’s a combo of not having had to run competitive *general* election races and typically focusing on the *primary* electorate. these guys could say whatever shit they wanted before because the republican base doesn’t really care, but having to run against a dem who could win is unknown to them

For Ken Paxton (who knows what a nightmare lengthy incarceration in this country is), 60 days is enough time for an ally no matter what they did, because those sentences shouldn’t be for people like him.
