"Senator-elect LaVon Bracy Davis and Representative-elect RaShon Young...are ready to fight for what Central Floridians care about the most: lower costs of living, safer communities, and true change driven by and for the people." Full statement ⤵️ floridadems.org/2025/09/flor...
Thank you Florida! LaVon Bracy Davis & RaShon Young were both expected to have a good chance to hold these blue seats. But look at these margins! These were two big wins. A 22 & 15 point over performance.
History made! Congratulations to RaShon Young on his election to HD-40 and on becoming the first Gen Z member of the Florida Legislature. His passion, energy, and vision for Florida’s future will be a powerful force for change in Tallahassee.

I’m not in Sequim but want to visit there. Both for the scenery and lavender but also proud of how they won.
Back from doing Tai Chi and taking a long’ish walk. Good classes but I am a tad worn out. Going to sit back with some tea.
As long as we’re talking about Space Command: RELEASE THE UFO FILES. (I’m kind of joking but kind of not because I’m really curious about what they contain, lol.)
So proud of Sequim for sweeping MAGA out. “Bruce Cowan, chair of the LD-24 Democrats, reached out and grasped my hand, “We won! Everything! A clean sweep!” “In Port Angeles too?” I asked Bruce above the hubbub. “Yes! Countywide.” www.peoplesworld.org/article/smal...
Let's spend more money for no real reason. Trump shifts Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, rewarding a loyal red state. The move undercuts readiness and exposes national security to partisan games, turning defense strategy into another MAGA political favor.
If reports are true, Trump is ripping Space Command out of Colorado Springs out of pure political spite, endangering jobs, our economy and national security. Colorado Springs deserves better. Colorado deserves better. Are we Great yet, Jeff Crank?
No, he’s not announcing some critical illness that has him resigning.. His team needs to show people he’s alive and they’re using Space Command to do it..
Live view of the Trump regime deciding to move Space Command.
It’s hard to focus on the growing existential threats abroad when your own government is intent on killing you.

👋 text team captain for Sara Gideon here. Her campaign was in the height of the 🦠. Precinct walking & rallies was impossible. We lost but only by about 8% if memory serves. SC usually won by 30% or thereabouts. SG proved she’s vulnerable. I believe we’d have won but for pandemic. Maine’s got this.

Susan Collins is clutching her pearls bigly right now
This Mainer is (finally) happy and proud to see Susan Collins tending for the reason she is trending.
My name is Graham Platner. I'm the oysterman and Marine veteran running against Susan Collins. In 10 days we raised $1 million and signed up 3,000 volunteers. Please share this. Spread the word. Help us build something strong enough to defeat the billionaire class.a

Yes. Susan Collins refuses to meet the public or hold town hall meetings. She only meets privately with rich donors who contribute to her campaigns. She has lost touch with the people she represents. She married a lobbyist. What does that say about her.
Susan Collins is a repulsive political figure. She voted along with Rs to keep election integrity in shambles. The cheating, rigging, voter suppression, and gerrymandering is why Trump exists and why Rs control Congress and the SCOTUS against the will of America. All Rs must be voted out!

Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change

Susan Collins needs to gracefully retire from the Senate, and bask in the glory of having helped destroy American democracy.
Susan Collins should retire now before that strong oyster farmer drags her under the sea (old Maine saying).

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀

In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.
nate silver calling this place insignificant is the final proof it has the juice and will win the presidency
Nate Silver did math once and now people pretend he’s smart and not just a gambling addict with an internet connection
If people like Nate Silver and James Ball have pissed pants about getting bullied on Bluesky, then those people should have better takes.
Lots of discourse about Nate Silver. I will say is it's much less likely on Twitter that someone will try to shout me down for posting about music, writing, pets etc instead of the pressing political issues of the day. Of course it's a trade off. No one here calls me a k#ke. I'd rather be here
Here's the thing - Seeing the kinds of people who are mad at Bluesky makes me like this website more. If you find yourself agreeing with Nate Silver or whoever about internet forum beef, that should give you pause.
Though the criminal cases against his fake electors are bogged down in delays prosecutors are keeping charges alive. The cases all remain pending.
The bodycam footage at the trial of Jared Wise shows him berating police officers on Jan. 6, yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked.

By far my favorite part of January 6.
It's really hard to believe that she can say her job is to "respect the choices of the American People," and in the same breath defend giving a POTUS immunity. She shouldn't be on that court.

And far too often we still think physics is just quantum mechanics and cosmology - far away mysterious things that don't relate to our everyday life. That's nonsense. Why it is tiring to walk slowly, what limits the height of a tree, why do baby ducks swim in a tight line? Physics will tell you!
Our very first yard sign. This is too important to not speak up about. If Question 1 passes, Mainers will lose their right to vote early and by mail (especially seniors!). It would be harder to return your ballot. And, trying to vote could actually cost you MONEY! VOTE NO ON 1. #MEpolitics
By chance, I met this ancient oak near Mauchline, Ayrshire. My hiking pole on the right gives an idea of girth. Trees this age and size are so rare in Ireland that this would be celebrated. But in Scotland, they seem no big deal. Irish nature is a mere shell of what it once was. Time to rewild!! 🌏
