  2. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    Editor's Note: This might be our easiest Rising Star pick so far, given how anti-human rights the incumbent has been.

    -Sykes #OH13
    -Vindman #VA07
    -Whitesides #CA27

    Trump said he will request a $1.5 trillion defense budget for FY27. (Total national security spending is already much higher, blowing past the $1 trillion mark many years ago.)

  5. Do people in #WA03, #TX34, #TX28, #NJ05, #ME02, and #CA13 want federal spending to create jobs?

    If so, they can ask their Blue Dog reps if they've read studies that education spending creates 3x more jobs than military spending. Healthcare more than 2x.

    The conservative Democrats voted for a trillion-dollar defense budget for Trump's Department of War and defense spending in FY26, despite the Pentagon having never passed a financial audit.

  7. The leaders of the conservative Blue Dog Coalition could ask their member Rep. Gottheimer about his bill aligning with the Trump admin's crackdown on academic freedom.

    That would be Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of #WA03, Vicente Gonzalez of #TX34 & Lou Correa of #CA46.

  9. Not disclosed until November, PhRMA gave another $1.6 million in 2023 to the dark money group Center Forward, deeply tied to the House Blue Dogs.

    The corporate-backed Democratic caucus is led by Reps. Jared Golden of #ME02, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of #WA03, and Mary Peltola, who lost her bid this year in #AK00.

  12. Marie Perez, a Democrat in Washington's 3rd district, is the incumbent by a narrow margin (a bit over 1700 votes). Joe Kent is her hateful and extremist Republican opponent. That burned ballot box in Washington, with "hundreds of ballots" in it that burned, is in her district.

    If you are in that district, and used the Fisher's Landing Transit Station ballot box, YOU MUST ACT TO GET A NEW BALLOT!!!

    Don't give that rat bastard the pleasure of some Republican MAGAt burning your ballot so he has a better chance against a good woman.

  19. @petergleick #WA03 is a race that's not getting nearly enough attention. It's a seat we flipped in 2022, but only barely. We just had our blanket primary, and the results are worrisome: the two GOP candidates together got 51.5% of the vote. If we're going to hold this seat--and we have to, if we're going to take the House back--we need to invest in it.

  21. CW: US politics, Ukraine invasion, Russian propaganda

    One of the few remaining political campaign signs from the midterms on display in Clark County, Washington.

    The letter “Z” is a symbol displayed on Russian military vehicles during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and in Russian propaganda.

    Kent and his supporters have faced backlash from the local Ukrainian community over support for Russia.

  23. Trump-endorsed WA-03 Congressional District candidate Joe Kent finally conceded today following a recount, stating “our campaign is not at a sad end but a strong beginning.”

    Kent has already announced his candidacy for 2024.

  24. Another note on the #joekent talk at the Simi Bird for governor event last night.

    He changed his mind about voting late.

    During the campaign, he has advised his voters to vote late, based on seriously warped disinformation about how ballots were processed. Now it seems like he is at least partially blaming that thinking on his loss.

  26. Joe Kent did a lot of things last night at a Simi Bird for governor event:

    * He announced he's running again in 2024

    * He hinted he was going to sue over the signature verification system

    * He also did some bad analysis on voter turnout. He said his voters just did not turn out, especially in Clark County.

  28. All the counties involved in the #wa03 machine recount will recount and certify at a different pace. The last certification I can find was Skamania, which isn't going to be until a week from today

    The earliest was Cowlitz, which finished up everything yesterday tdn.com/news/local/govt-and-po

    Wasn't able to find any information about Pacific County.

  30. Recount in #wa03 started in Cowlitz County yesterday, with the canvassing board ruling that there was one additional vote for both Perez and Kent out of 44k+ cast

  32. Some important context for the Kent recount request

    1. Despite mentioning signature verification in his comms about the recount, this process with have zero to do with that step of ballot processing

    2. A machine recount is basically rerunning the initial machine tabulation OR verification of the logic and accuracy test, which all the counties passed weeks ago

    3. The $42k deposit is just a deposit. He's going to have to pay the entire amount, which will be way more

  34. Washington counties are dropping their precinct level data this week and this is a fascinating piece of data from the #wa3 race in #clarkcounty

    Precincts in Clark County that went for Joe Kent had higher turnout, which is totally not what I expected

    So Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was able to win district-wide despite turnout headwinds in her core county

  36. CW: Fascist tears

    23 minutes ago, tiny baby and failed congressional candidate #JoeKent posted a video on Instagram insisting the election isn’t over. lol. Sad week for all fascists in WA-03. #wa03 #USElections2022

  37. That leaves 14 House seats where the #GOPCovidDeathCult *could* potentially be a decisive factor in the outcome of the race:
    #AZ01, #AZ06, #CA03, #CA13, #CA22, #CA41, #CA47, #CO03, #CO08, #ME02, #NY22, #OR05, #OR06 & #WA03:

  38. Of the 20 races which haven't been called yet (actually, it's 19 now that #WA03 has been called!), 1 is a special case (#AKAL) due to Alaska's instant runoff voting system. In 5 others (all in California), the estimate is so nominal I'm not even counting it as a factor.

  39. The battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives continues as #MarieGlusenkampPerez is declared the winner in #WA03 picking up a seat from the Republicans. I'm still looking for that #RedWave.

  40. FiveThirtyEight gave Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez a 2 in 100 chance of winning the #WA03 U.S. House race.

    She just won it.

  41. With Perez declaring victory, no response from the Kent campaign yet. I'm sure they will be denying, rallying, and litigating.
