  5. But #EricSwalwell is an enemy of sorts to the #Trump admin. For years, the #Democrat has been one of Trump’s most visible political antagonists, having served as a manager in the president’s second #impeachment trial. Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller has called Swalwell a “scumbag” on national TV. And #FBI Dir #KashPatel …described him as one of the “corrupt actors of the first order” in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters.

  6. Rutherford County, #Tennessee has been in the news for its ‘lead’ in the #MAGA cult’s national #BookBanning race.

    The chief protagonist in the Board of #Education is #CalebTidwell. Sadly, he was not up for re-election this year. But a fellow #Republican who resisted some of his #BookBan requests was. A #MAGA cult member challenged her and was arrested for stealing political signs during early voting. He won the primary. mainstreetmediatn.com/articles

    He just lost to a #Democrat in the election. 😂

  9. Great news! #SouthCarolina Senate rejects #Trump call to redraw congressional maps

    As early in-person voting began Tuesday in South Carolina’s primaries, the state Senate rejected a #Republican plan to #cancel those congressional votes & instead schedule a new primary under revised districts designed to help the #GOP oust the powerful #Democrat #JamesClyburn.

  10. The Senator Who Used to Be Cory Booker

    We taught at Rutgers-Newark in the same years, before he was mayor, before the Senate, before the rebranding. We shared a building lobby on University Avenue. I never shook his hand. I did not need to. Everyone on that campus knew Cory. He pulled the air toward him when he walked through a door, a Rhodes Scholar, a Yale-trained lawyer who had chosen Newark when he could have chosen Manhattan or Washington, a young man who spoke about education the way ministers speak about scripture. Students mattered to him. He believed a city scarred by Sharpe James and three decades of municipal corruption could be reformed from inside its worst housing project, into which he had moved on purpose. I watched that man hold a room without effort. He had a builder's mind. He had, in the older sense of the word, character. […]

  12. CW: USPol, Trump

    RE: mindly.social/@cazabon/1143453

    Chuck Schumer has finally intimated he may actually DO SOMETHING about the current political situation. Whether he actually does, and if so, whether he stands his ground or folds like cheap suit, is yet to be seen.

    I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so. Democratic party politicians have needed to DO THINGS, not write "stongly worded letters", for a long time now. Even Minnesota Governor Walz has been sending out sternly worded press releases and soundbites today - for jebus' sake, you're the governor. You don't say "Somebody should do something!". You get on with it, and you DO SOMETHING.

    A 2-post thread I did last April. It was already clear to me that the slide into fascism was complete; it wasn't something they could work to prevent at that point.

    I weep for the American experiment, and the good American people. The MAGAs, accurately described by Ken White as "shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture", can get fucked.

  13. So I was going to say that the one thing I agree with Speaker #MikeJohnson about was that what happened wasn't unexpected, that #Democrats won in "blue" States last night, but I just looked something up...

    #Virginia isn't a blue state. It's #Governor #elections seem to follow a trend for the past couple cycles of them voting for the party that will win the next Presidential election.

    And #AbigailSpanberger didn't just win, she won by a double digit margin.

    So I'm going to say what I said before, that we shouldn't assume this is going to be the norm, and we still need to get out and fight, especially since we are going to need Democrats to get well over 50% in some of these elections in order to overcome anti-democracy efforts...

    But that double-digit margin? That's Hope right there. That's telling us that we are definitely capable of doing this: our work will pay dividends.

    And that #Mamdani win? That's telling us we can beat the corrupt #Democrat establishment that got us into this mess.

  14. Democrat Flips the Script: SNAP, Trump’s Lawlessness, and Media Failure

    Joe Neguse’s sharp rebuke of media bias over SNAP exposes Trump’s lawlessness and a press too timid to name it.

  16. #Trump railed against the media on 4/14/25 suggesting some of actions of the #press be deemed #illegal and should be #investigated. Speech at #DOJ during which Trump railed against people & entities that he claims have targeted him. “I believe that #CNN & MS-DNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the #Democrat Party and in my opinion, they’re really #corrupt and they’re #illegal, what do they do is illegal,” Trump said thehill.com/homenews/administr #news #media #freespeech

  17. > Bowman, known for opposing key crypto legislation such as the FIT 21 bill, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, and efforts to overturn the pro-Gary Gensler SAB 121, was defeated by Westchester County Executive George Latimer.

    > The loss of Bowman sends a clear message that taking an anti-crypto stance may not be beneficial for lawmakers in the upcoming election.

  18. It would also be a particularly significant victory given that these groups failed to stop #Bowman in 2020 — & given that the #Democrat base has trended sharply away from #Israel in recent months.

    The #UnitedDemocracyProject super #PAC, which is aligned w/the American Israel Public Affairs Cmte (#AIPAC) & another prominent grp, Democratic Majority for Israel, have spent >$60M on Democrat congressional primaries since the 2020 election.

    #JamaalBowman #NewYork #AIPAC #superPAC #primary #Congress

  19. The result could reverberate greatly in the evolving internal #Democrat debate over the #war in #Gaza.
    
That’s because, while the $ amts are becoming larger & the results have been mostly positive for the pro-Israel groups, their record is still mixed in the highest-profile races. Unseating #Bowman would be the strongest sign yet that criticizing #Israel is a recipe for heartburn & may be a contributing factor in an incumbent’s loss.

  20. Why #JamaalBowman’s #NewYork primary is huge for pro-#Israel groups
    
An #AIPAC-aligned #superPAC & others have spent increasingly huge sums of money in high-profile #Democrat primaries. Their record is mixed, but a #Bowman defeat would be their biggest win yet.

Pro-Israel groups make up an increasingly large presence in #primaries for #Congress. Even so, the effort to unseat Rep #JamaalBowman in Tue’s #primary is extraordinary.

  21. Handing a win to #Trump?

    "When I was young, the left I was a part of helped elect #Nixon. Please don’t make a similar mistake today...

    Richard Nixon won a narrow victory over both #Humphrey and George Wallace... [But] a shift of less than 88,000 #votes from the #Republican to the #Democrat in just four states (Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, and Alaska) would have given Humphrey a majority in the Electoral College."
