Stay classy, comrade.
Last night Democrats voted in dozens of straight up Commies, pushed statewide officials who are Jihadis and even got a Tranny in Alabama into office. America is not okay and it is worth fighting for.

It's not that I disagree w Gina here, it's that she was a Trump campaign official, and he is a corrupt liar who has betrayed our constitution. So I'm glad she's being honest now, but she has a lot to answer for.
Replying to @michbeyer @politico
My favorite thing here is an organization that literally recruited, promoted and made expenditures in the GOP primary now playing it off like they are merely a ‘GOTV’ operation and have no responsibility for the imminent losses. Cycle three by my count. Enough.

Thank you, Kari Lake! Have you considered running for chair of @AZGOP? You'd be great.
When this is said & done, we need to reform our elections. Election Day is the Super Bowl. There is no excuse for running out of paper or acting shocked by turnout. The heavy Election Day turnout is a good sign: Americans don’t want to go back to the previous administration’s wide-open borders, free-falling economy, & crime everywhere, & they’re showing up in force to prove it.

I don't know where those races will end up once the final votes are counted. I do know that the seats don't belong to a party. They belong to the voters who live there. The voters can't "steal" the seats; they can take them away from any party which has held them.
No one believes that Abe Hamadeh and Mark Lamb are losing their races in super safe red districts. NO ONE. The Democrats bit off more than they can chew if they steal those two seats.

👇 #AZ02
In 2024 Jonathan Nez was one of the top 10 Democratic overperformers of the cycle - in leagues with Mary Peltola, Kristen McDonald-Rivet and Pat Ryan. Now Rs are dumping money in this district to save Eli Crane. #AZ02 is the battleground. @NezForAZ split-ticket.org/2024-house-…

Democrats are voting for Republicans today
I have Democrat councilmembers telling me they voted for Andy Biggs because they believe Katie Hobbs has been incompetent and unwilling to work for the people of Arizona or have conversations with them and concerns. That says a lot when even members of her own party are frustrated with her leadership.

"only by about 5"
Given the historic Dem wave, powered by mostly center-left candidates, worth noting that… El-Sayed only on track to prevail in Michigan by about 5. DSA-endorsed Nixon losing the one reddish Senate race where other states with similar Trump-Harris numbers flipped to Dems. DSA member Lawrence looks like he’ll lose Michigan swing seat held by Slotkin.

I mean is it really a blue wave or maybe just a red undertow?

At just 17, my friend @Mendoza4AZ answered the call to serve our country. After 20 years in the military, she's continuing that service in Congress. I saw up close how hard she worked on this campaign, and I know she’ll continue that hard work in Washington as she fights for our families and keeps them safe. Congratulations, JoAnna! Tucson is lucky to have you!

NEW AD 🚨: Brenna Bird has made a mess of the attorney general’s office, and Iowa families are paying the price. I’ll clean up the corruption, hold corporate polluters accountable, and work with law enforcement to keep Iowans safe.

JoAnna Mendoza is one of the best in the game. One of the first House Dems to go on air for the general election and to face ugly R attacks and meet them with grace. Now she's flipped this seat and will be the first woman Marine elected to Congress. @Mendoza4AZ #AZ06

People who lose primaries and then complain they got shut out are just making excuses for sour grapes. People who endorse the person in the other party 2 days before the election are ego maniacs.

Nothing but stars on my ballot today, but voting for @Mendoza4AZ while we work to get out the vote in #AZ06 felt extra special! Together, Arizona is gonna #FlipTheHouse, #FlipTheLeg, and re-elect @KatieHobbs, @Adrian_Fontes, and @KrisMayes! 💪🗳️

Complex is a lot going on. Complicated is a mess. At the heart of "complex" is unified intent, someone dealing with and in a situation. Without this single point of initiative, complex is complicated. The result is dis-integration. ➡️ robertfripp.substack.com/p/c…

One thing I feel sure of: If Hayley Stevens had won that primary, El Sayed would not be running a last minute Mike Rogers endorsement. And he also wouldn’t be like, take it easy folks, no big deal.

I thought she moved to Jamaica.
The bullshit continues…. PRO-TIP: Maricopa County voters, find a voting center in the most liberal part of town and go there. My gut tells me you’ll find fewer equipment malfunctions, shorter lines, no electricity issues, plenty of ballots, etc..
