I am not a person that would ever want to offend or hurt anybody.--seems unlikely from a MAGA, which she presumably is.

Nothing we can do about Fetterman right now, but every single Republican running for Senate should be asked how they would have voted. Every single candidate, actually. I don't suspect there's another Fetterman running as a D, but let's ask.

She had a chance to do something on guns and she adjourned the state house so republicans wouldn’t have to vote on no nonsense legislation. Remember annunciation mass shooting

Jon Husted just voted to continue the Iran war for the 14th time. While Ohioans are paying record high costs at the gas pump and the grocery store, Jon Husted is voting for more war – and costing you more money – every chance he gets.

I guess one way in which I differ from the Republican nominee for US Senator from Minnesota is that I love Minnesota and enjoy living here. Something I like about @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is that she likes the place she is running to represent. Seems like it may help someone in that job.

I kind of love that the only "capital" he thinks was spent on the insane Iran war was political.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I think media and political advertising have a lot to do with this. People think "politics" is things like trans rights and tax rates, and don't understand that everything from education to transportation policy to food safety is, in fact, political.

I'm so proud that when I travel, here and overseas, and say I am from Minnesota, people say things like, "Wow! you guys were so great during that ICE occupation," and "Minnesota? You are showing people how to respond to Trump and his cruelty."

I'm wondering when media will start asking Republicans about this. Not holding my breath, though. They still need to dig more deeply into El-Sayed's support from Hasan Piker, who doesn't actually work for him. Good for Jake Tapper for at least asking Johnson about Brandon Herrera. More please.

Very curious where you get your numbers. Dozens fighting Trump every day? "Obeying in advance," like eliminating DEI programs, for example, would fall under "folding" for me, even if Trump never attacked that firm per se. I'm not saying you are wrong--I just have never seen those numbers.

I hope El-Sayed says "no thank you." Tucker is a despicable anti-semite white Christian nationalist.

Thanks for the explanation. But shouldn't your fire be aimed at Nigel Farage and his ilk? It reminds me of the people here in the US who withheld their votes from Harris over Gaza, helping elect Trump.

I don't see large-scale criminality including rape, trafficking of minors and probably financial crimes, as culture-war issues.

Sure, and then she would move onto a trans athletes question "men in women's sports" is how she would dutifully phrase it. And if he answered that it would be the next cultural flash point. I get your concern, but once he bites, he's hooked. That's the plan. Eyes on the prize.

She adds, "But Republicans have made it a big attack on you," which is a telling statement. Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias. (Also, my boss is Bari Weiss)

I no longer live in Missouri, but I am a proud monthly supporter of bluemissouri.org, providing some funding for Dems running in very difficult races, in places that haven't even had Democrats running for years. It's part of the solution.
