Saw a Scott and Rogers ad during the Pats game (go Pats, btw). Haven't seen a state-wide ad for a Republican since 2016. Their polling clearly shows it is a competitive race.

Hey America, Enjoy your microscopic Russian diesel. Can you honestly believe Trump is this weak? It’s unreal

Our first General Election debate is TONIGHT at 7PM. I’m fighting for Iowans. She’s fighting to enrich herself and her billionaire donors. Excited to share my common-sense prairie populist vision on the debate stage tonight. Hope you tune in!

Just brutal results for the Republicans. There is a reason they are worried about the Senate.

@chaznuttycombe.bsky.social and @statenavigate.org are doing great work and are polling the Vermont gubernatorial election and it shows a much closer race than expected. I highly recommend people that are interested in polling and/or politics follow both. projects.statenavigate.com/interactives...

It was Brown+8. Not quite sure I buy that number, and part of me wonders if Jain is right, but I do think Brown is in the lead.

Doug @realdlm.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
So they had Turek up 8, and I consider Iowa more right leaning than Ohio. But Iowa is unique in that their economy is heavily agricultural so the diesel spike and tariffs hurts them more than most other states. I'm gonna guess Brown+4 and have no idea about the gov race.

We're leading Susan Collins in another poll despite the millions of dollars Elon and Republican dark money groups are dumping into this race. They can spend all they want, but they can't convince Mainers Senator Collins is on the side of working people.

Well, they should be dooming. I haven't seen a political environment this hostile to a party since maybe 2006 or 2008.

Doug @realdlm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
It's just trading high diesel prices (which won't work, or at least it won't substantially drop prices) for higher gas prices. It's beyond stupid and won't save the Republicans.

Doug @realdlm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Well, given that Trump is set to ban exports of diesel, we are just going to see higher gas prices. A catastrophically bad decision. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Well they found Turek +8, so my guess is Talarico +4, if only because he is facing way more attack ads from PACs.

Jesus, get ready for *everything* to become substantially more expensive. The only silver lining is that this will kill the Republicans in November. And I'm willing to bet that Iran has an "October surprise" up their sleeve.

It is infuriating that the markets keep taking what Trump says at face value when he's lied about this shit time and again. Zelenskyy didn't seem to indicate any such agreement had been reached. Quite the opposite in fact.

Like I think “D is for they/them, R is for you” worked better before Trump did tariffs and started a war that shot up prices, and then said to camera that he didn’t care about Americans’ financial situations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. He's also probably the strongest nominee the Democrats could have put up.

Ossoff is really trying to push Bottoms past the finished line since I think he wants to run for POTUS. And I'm all for it. Ossoff or Warnock would be the strongest candidates the Democrats could put up in 2028.

Really wish he chose not to run again, dude is 80. But he's way better than Moulton and he'll win easily (it's fucking Massachusetts). I legit think Joe Kennedy would have had a shot if he didn't primary Markey in 2020.
