🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - IOWA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 1🚨

Democrat: Catelin Drey

Area: Sioux City

Note: Back in January, Democrats made national headlines by flipping a Trump+21 Iowa State Senate seat. We can do that again here in this Trump +11 seat.

I expect Reps to throw some money at these races but booking this far in advance both saves money for Dems due to ad rates and helps to drag down Republicans

My local Philippine takeout place has raised its prices on the combo meal from 9.99 to 10.49. 5% increase :(

Need to consolidate this lead. But bullish sign for Cooper

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social has got it exactly right. No point in bipartisan spending bills if Rs are going to let Trump decide what gets implemented or not. Can't shut down the government for ever but at least could demand full release of Epstein files or something. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Chris Murphy goes all in on funding bill boycott as Dems seek bipartisanship
The politically ambitious Connecticut Democrat is walking away from bipartisan government funding negotiations as his party clamors for a seat at the table.

Someone wants to be president / fears a primary. Still don’t understand why he voted for that French ambassador
Booker snipes back at Cortez Masto: “What they were about to do today was to pass resources out of the Senate that would never go to about half of our states, and that's just unjust, wrong and empowering the president to continue his authoritarian work.”

The only way to get rid of gerrymandering in the long term is to fight fire with fire.

Dems in the following states should go forward with gerrymandering if republicans actually go through with this:

California (+7 seats)
New York (+4)
Maryland (+1)
Wisconsin (+3)
Virginia (+3)
Colorado (+3)
Republicans are not just talking about redistricting in Texas and Ohio. They're also talking about it in:
-Missouri
-Kansas
-Florida
-New Hampshire

Where could the House GOP redistrict next?
The redistricting wars are ramping up. Here are the top places to watch.

In our new poll with @verasight.bsky.social, immigration dominated the news for July, overshadowing economic issues. But despite Trump's positive numbers on border security, he's underwater on immigration and deportations — approval down to just 43%. Full poll www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

I think the low end for approval is 40, but I could see it getting down to mid 30s
