Look, bailing out Argentina is wrong, but this is rich coming from the people who spent $130 Billion in Ukraine.

- Just drive by a small "No Kings" demonstration. In a shock to absolutely no one, the average age looked to be about 74.
- Ken needs to drop out. This is getting beyond ridiculous.Texas AG Ken Paxton is caught in "shocking sex scandal" as details of secret affair with married Christian influencer mom-of-seven are exposed. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
- Society as a whole was far more woke in 2018.It's funny that Dems always get attacked for being culturally off putting, which I think there is truth to that, but it's telling that Dems still had a blue wave in 2018 when Dems already was viewed as a woke party
- Republicans always seem to do a little better in Minnesota special elections than special elections elsewhere. I speculate this is because Minnesota is always one of the highest turnout states, so turnout differentials are less.Per DDHQ, Minnesota State House 34B results: 🔵 Xp Lee: 60.9% (4,331) 🔴 Ruth Bittner: 39.1% (2,785) Harris won this district by 27.4% in 2024, so this is on track for a 6% overperformance for the GOP.
- Frankly, Trump is the only Republican who has shown that he knows how to win elections. No one else since Youngkin has proven capable of doing it. Whether you love Trump or hate him, you can't deny that it is the honest truth.The worst thing about tonight is that there will be no introspection from the GOP. They’ll just cope and say that it was because of turnout and bad candidates. They will still go worshipping their dear leader as if he can do no wrong.
- I give Republicans a lot of crap about being incompetent, and deservedly so. But Democrats potentially permanently losing swarms of personally liberal young men (who may be nominally anti-woke, but that's it) is the most incompetent fumbling I've ever seen in politics.
- I support this!Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
- The people who are voting against Trump are 100% voting no matter what. The point of a midterm convention is to try to get out at least some of the low-propensity Trump voters.Every Republican in a competitive race just banger their heads against a wall 50 times
- Come a long way... in the wrong direction.
- There are no moderate Democrats left in 2025 (except for Cuellar and Golden). They don't exist.You know, for being such a "moderate," I'm noticing a distinct lack of moderate positions from Abby.
- Gen Z men are Republican, but not Conservative, if that makes sense. Outside of wokeness, guns and maybe a couple of economic issues, "conservative" Gen Z-ers have many of the same liberal social and moral views as their liberal counterparts.Most prominent conservative talking heads say that generation Z is the most conservative generation in decades. They are so completely and utterly incorrect.
- I'm actually not surprised by minority voters reverting this cycle. Demographic groups who are in the early stages of realignment often temporarily revert in unfavorable midterms (Dems did well with southern voters in '06, Dems did well with many Obama-Trump voters in 2018)
- Don't sleep around and don't do intravenous drugs and you won't get HIV. Very simple.Dua Lipa on the importance of using PrEP to prevent HIV. “I think sex should be fun, and it should be safe. With intimacy, there’s safety, there’s a connection. (…) It is so important to take care of ourselves.”
