BREAKING: The new Majority Leader of the Colorado House Democrats’ supermajority is Javier Mabrey, a democratic socialist!! I’m so lucky to call Javi a close friend. We first talked about him running for office back in 2021, and ever since he’s been the absolute MVP in the State House on every progressive fight. Colorado’s workers and renters just got a real champion at the leadership table! HUGE win for the working class.

Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley (a Democrat) overcame a primary deficit to defeat attorney Justin Jones (a Republican) and become the next President of the Navajo Nation. Incumbent Buu Nygren lost in the primary, the fourth straight President to lose re-election.

I owe Ty Pinkins a real apology. I was wholly unfamiliar with his game.
DYING at this. He understood the assignment

“Oak Park and West Bloomfield were solid red.”
No, they didn't. Oak Park and West Bloomfield were solid red.

BTW, Abdul won the two precincts in West Bloomfield which includes Temple Israel by 15.5 and 18 points, respectively. Narratives told for months not based in evidence or truth must be ended.

Extreme levels of cope happening online in how centrists are responding to DSA candidates being electoral overperformers. This invalidates almost all of their predictions from 2024-2025 “WAR” debates

Not to be outdone, but Michigan also elected its first ever openly transgender state legislator last night with Joanna Whaley winning #HD02 (Harris+1.5) on the outskirts of Detroit. Not only did she win, she won by 25 points! A huge overperformance! nitter.cf/Uncrewed/status/211784…
BIG news out of Alabama, as Allison Montgomery has become the first ever openly transgender state legislator in Alabama history! She flipped the Trump+5 #HD25 on the west side of Huntsville

The last four GOP nominees for Senate in Michigan: Mike Rogers (lost) Mike Rogers (lost) John James (lost) John James (lost) Makes sense. In Michigan, you get 10 cents back for every candidate you recycle.

If it holds--and I think it will--the single most significant outcome wasn't in TX or NC or SC... it was Mississippi. Scott Colom, a Black man with a moral argument, defeated incumbent Confederate-nostalgic Cindy Hyde-Smith. It's historic in a way that brings tears to my eyes.

The many beat the money. The people beat the corporations and special interests. Hope beat hate and fear.  Michigan, we won.

This is all window dressing. If Daines and Alme don’t ratfuck the filing deadline one of Tester or Bullock gets into that race and based on tonight they very likely win.
The weird thing is that winning a seat in Montana by a D-leaning independent was well within grasp. But the Dem nominee refused to withdraw despite there being no way she could even come in second place. And so that pick up didn't happen.

Update?
When Beau Bayh loses, it will be the final nail in the coffin of the Democrat Party in Indiana. The majority of Hoosiers fundamentally don’t trust Democrats no matter how many outside dollars they raise, disingenuous ads they run, or spoiler candidates they team up with

Abdul El-Sayed is outperforming Kamala Harris in Oakland County with 86% of precincts reporting. All those coastal journos who slapped together hand-wringing coverage about Dem divisions in the Detroit burbs might be feeling a little silly tomorrow.

Strategy of running independents in red states went absolutely nowhere. In ID & SD, it wasn't close at all. NE looks less close than 2024. In Montana, the Dem nominee got all the attention—but prominent Dems like Tester faced no scrutiny for recruiting an indy while having zero plan to clear field for him.
