Seems like the MN SD6 is an outlier for democrats in special elections this spring. Not a shift toward the Dems. Going to be tough to flip MN08 if you can’t get 45-50% out of SD6. A sign that MN could be in play in 2026 if the GoP could recruit normal candidates.

The economy is tanking. Tariffs aren’t working. Trump’s approval is almost worse than the stock market.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some false flag operation to turn the media away from all of this.

Trump’s using “national security” as a lame excuse to go after federal unions, but let’s be real, this isn’t about national security.
You really think they care about security? Nah, this is just another excuse to bust unions and screw over the workers who keep this country running.

The Trump administration has expanded exclusions from collective bargaining for federal agencies on NatSec grounds. @nicholashandler.bsky.social is my go-to on federal unions. Awaiting his thoughts. But here's a brief note on the law. 1/

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers
This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

Veterans do not want Musk and Trump to fire 83,000 caretakers from the VA.
