Heard often in Dem primaries:

'What difference does it make who we nominate? The GOP is just gonna attack them as 'XYZ' regardless.'

Correct!

But it's not a question of whether they will attack them as 'XYZ'.

They will.

It's a question of whether the attack will be BELIEVABLE to the electorate.

My main takeaway from today's @the-downballot.com is that Laura Loomer keeps interfering in GOP primaries by getting Trump to endorse less-electable Rs in toss-up races, forcing the more-electable Rs (that Trump ALSO endorsed) to drop out.

Thank you, Laura!

Here's the headline Mike Lawler woke up to this morning in the largest newspaper in his district.

Can't help but wonder how many more of these brutal ACA subsidy stories are being reported across the country on a daily basis.

“With…Latinos responding to ICE raids…the districts that Republicans thought were their future a year ago are likely to be their undoing. Hard to find another situation in the past 50 years where a political party has squandered a generational opportunity like this.”

Per John's thread below, I hope Democratic primary voters in North Carolina are paying attention to this issue amidst their State Legislative primaries.

There are some elected State Leg Dems who keep joining Republicans to override Gov. Stein's vetoes.
in The NC primaries that are on March 3 the primaries do matter. there are democrats in very blue districts who vote to override Stein's vetos and give the republicans an effective super majority in the state house.

If for no other reason than pragmatism, I do hope that Maine Dem primary voters consider the reality of what Susan Collins' $100M ad barrage against Graham Platner will look like in the fall of 2026.

It's going to be full of phrases like 'Nazi tattoo', 'all cops are bastards', 'communist' and more.
February 15, 2026 at 5:43 PM
Haven't paid much attention to the Maine Dem primary lately, but I do feel like I've been living in an alternate reality seeing the race essentially un-changed by Platner's Nazi tat revelation and weak explanation.

And Hunter's must-read feed since last night serves to remind me that I'm not crazy.
Dear Bluesky, I like to think of

If South Texas along the border goes back to dark blue this year - after firmly shifting to red in 2024 - it’s going to be a political earthquake, and one that could usher in a Democratic Senator, especially if James Talarico is the candidate.

Insinuating a lack of courage on the part of the VA State Supreme Court is a choice, but amidst that is a salient point:

*The bigger the victory for the VA Redistricting Referendum, the less likely the VA Supreme Court would be to overturn it*

You're gonna wanna make this one a landslide, VA Dems.
Former GOP Virginia Lt. Gov Bill Bolling:

Redistricting can still be stopped if the Virginia Supreme Court has the courage

But I encourage you to watch the video, listen to what he says, and hear how emotionally he says it.

Outright sadism.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

My philosophy remains the same.

Elect as many Dems in as many races as possible, and do so by supporting Dems who best 'fit' their respective electorates.

If that means an AOC Dem in a safe blue seat, fine.

If that means a Manchin Dem in a safe red seat, fine.

Be STRATEGIC.

Expand the brand.

“I was in the cloakroom, and I heard people say, ‘I hate tariffs,’ and then voted (for them).”

‘Were it not for threats of retaliation from Trump…he estimated “30 or 40” Republicans would have broken ranks.

In the end, only six did.’

Cowards, all.
