Bernie Sanders’ state of Vermont couldn’t get a Blue governor during this Blue Tsunami. He’s been in politics before we were born but can’t seem to get Medicare for All passed in his own state. How long yall gonna be strung along with his performative fist pumping populism?

Congressional Democrats scored their greatest electoral triumph in over 50 years on Tuesday. Here’s why the only logical next step is for all of their leaders to step down.

And since we are on the topic of Mississippi…make sure Brett Favre pays that money back!!!

The AZ legislature saw a wider swing from R to D than anywhere except NH* and the wins went deep into GOP territory.
The question all the “it’s not their fault it’s Trump’s” people need to answer is: Why did the wave hit AZ harder than other states?
I wrote about why below.
*NH has a 400 member house and massive swings have been the norm for past few cycles.
Here is the thing you won’t see (apparently) any AZ Repubs reflect on as they act like innocent victims of outside forces:
Why did the blue wave go farther down ballot in AZ than other states? Why did deep red leg. districts go blue?
It wasn’t that we dummymandered here like they did in TX, GA & NC making the map easier to overtake.
The reason is voters here did not see any difference between these legislators and Trump, because even the “moderate” ones were completely deferential to TPUSA TO Hoffman to Trump.
Look at what they focused on legislatively.
Look at what their campaigns focused on message wise. Look at the popular policies that they just block, things like common sense ESA reform. And look how they all are reacting to this ass kicking now. Zero accountability. All blame.
Pointing to down ballot losses is not the exoneration you all think it is.

Btw, though:
Things shouldn’t have to hit rock bottom for y’all to get some sense at the polls.

Kamala Harris is one of the very few democrats who knew the power that is in Mississippi! She started her campaign speech for Scott Colom with “MISSISSIPPI MATTERS!”
Because it does matter! Every vote matters!

Kamala Harris paid attention to the South for years, before others realized something was brewing on the ground. She focused on uplifting local leaders and boosting turnout in districts Democrats had forgotten. These stops don't even include all the fundraisers she hosted in CA for Southern candidates. Stop disrespecting her work.
"Some Democrats have just basically said, 'Oh, that's nice if you wanna do some work in the South, but we can't win the South, therefore we will not put the resources into it.' That's a huge mistake… and if we're going to be a party that cares about all the people, we have to put the resources into speaking with them and most importantly, first and foremost, listening."
Kamala Harris (August 2026)

Lots of leftists who spent the last few years saying "both sides are the same" are sure celebrating as if there is a huge difference between the sides.

Kamala Harris is why we’re competitive in the Senate today. Had she not led the ticket in 2024 and pulled so many red state candidates over the finish line, we’d be looking at a much harder map. She’s also made Southern seats competitive this year through her appearances in states like Louisiana and Mississippi.

Ashley Moody NEVER walked the line with you @TeamsterSOB. But ok brother. Shout out to all the rank & file Teamsters that are voting for me. I will ALWAYS STAND WITH YOU!
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

Travis Knight says the final battle in ‘WILDWOOD’ combines stop-motion, hand-drawn, and CG animation.
“It required us to use every single technique and technology that we’ve developed... but in the end, we want people to be enveloped in the emotion of the story.”

That pastor Marvin winans is also a fool for allowing that mess in his church the final Sunday before voting.
What a disgrace that fool is
