When Schumer was still in "duck and cover" mode after 2024, Van Hollen flew to El Salvador where Kilmar Ábrego García had been illegally sent to CECOT and did not stop until Trump was forced to follow the law. This is the kind of voice that should be leading Democrats right now.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership "The door is not shut," the person added Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

Past midterms weren't usually predictive because past presidents acted rationally after a midterm setback. Donald Trump is not capable of acting rationally.

PROJECTION: Scott Colom defeats Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a historic upset in Mississippi, which Trump won by 23 points in 2024. The state’s last Black Senator was born a slave, and its last Democratic senator was a segregationist.
VoteHub projects Scott Colom to win the Mississippi U.S. Senate election.

FDR was very explicit when creating the minimum wage that it should be a livable wage. This idea that minimum wage jobs are starter jobs is corporate propaganda used to defend paying people substandard wages.
I find it hard to believe that people who make coffee believe they are owed a salary that allows them to raise a family, buy a house, cars and exotic vacations. They make coffee!

when I lived in Florida, the number one complaint from actual natives was that the state was turning into playground for millionaire retirees who came in droves every year to use up every resource and die, while the rest of them got priced out. now that’s getting turbo-charged.
slight spoilers for something i'm working on but holy shit Florida is fucked like a third of counties just don't have a residential property tax base anymore

its barely been a week and floridians who voted for the ‘destroy state government bill’ are already upset the state is destroying the government
Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects. Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices. Myriad examples have been given over the last six months.

There have been 1,293 games from 2024 to 2026 where a QB has taken 20+ dropbacks. This Carson Wentz game is the sixth-worst by EPA per dropback, 5th worst by adjusted yards per attempt (-0.36) and 4th worst by success rate (18.5%)
Pending the final drive, or whatever is left tonight, the only two performances worse than this Carson Wentz game tonight came in the Week 8 monsoon game between the Bucs and Falcons.

The Vikings QB situation is so bad that Joe Buck & Troy Aikman are repairing their relationship by laughing at our QBs. This can't be real life man.

It’s never occurred to me to care.
It’s not racist to want to go to Costco and hear only English.
