He pulled votes from Peltola 🫣🙃 Tinkering with ballots is almost always stupid.
NYT: Second choices of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr’s first-choice voters Left blank 36% 🟦Mary Peltola 29% 🟥Gerald L. Heikes 18% 🟥Senator Dan S. Sullivan 16% #AlaskaSenate

Yeah this seems like a pretty straight line to making sure she gets out of the primary Center left and left need to get together and get organized around the most viable acceptable candidate. No room for self indulgence - just clear eyes about the stakes for the party.
scholten will try to boost this lock in folks, we need more a experienced/skilled challenger against hillary scholten. she cannot win another term

Hot damn
WASHINGTON (AP) — Arizona Democrats gain a trifecta to control the state House, Senate and governor’s office for first time in 60 years.

Dems need to be aggressive in passing legislation to bring down the cost of healthcare. FromMedicaid expansion and a public option in WI to a prescription drug affordability board in MI, they need to take big swings everywhere to show people the benefits of Dem leadership.

I did well in @MIRSnews pick-the-winners contest. I dedicated my winnings to help combat Islamophobia that @MikeRogersForMI used like napalm. "... Timmer asked that the $50 be donated to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the name of Mike ROGERS."

Congrats to @darrincamilleri - Democrats and health advocates have high hopes for the new trifecta and Majority Leader Camilleri leading the senate is a big step towards making those hopes a reality.
The next Michigan Senate Majority Leader Darrin Camilleri:

RIP, old Medicaid expansion map with Wisconsin as the only Midwest state that didn't do it. You had a good run.

Here we go. Nothing but big swings. The people have spoken and they are demanding it.
Sen. Ron Wyden this a.m.: “On health care, Finance Committee Democrats will create a new foundation for America’s health care system that guarantees health care for all, gives Americans cheaper and better health care, and ends the corporate chokehold on our nation’s health care system.”

Here are the numbers from Kent, which is one of the most populous counties in Michigan. The results are clear and the opposite of the conventional narrative. People did split their tickets, but they did so to vote AGAINST Mike Rogers. El-Sayed beat the straight-ticket margin.

Smoke and mirrors are at least things.
Early out of Detroit but there is zero indication here of Rogers making inroads in the city

Gimme three months and his golf buddies in Florida wouldn’t even vote for him. I’ll smoke him by 7. Bet on it.
🚨BREAKING: Republicans' odds to flipping the Michigan US Senate seat JUMP OVERNIGHT. Michigan - 2026 US Senate 🟥Mike Rogers 44.3% (+3.7) 🟦Abdul El-Sayed 40.6% Polling average via Pollsmax.com. Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic frontrunner, and compared to his primary opponents—Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens—he performs by far the worst against Mike Rogers. If El-Sayed ends up being the nominee, Republicans will be the heavy favorites to flip Michigan's US Senate seat later this year.

Corruption way before it was cool. Fuck these people. Long live the double Huizenga of 2026.
Thoughts and prayers to @billhuizenga and his wife and brother. With his forced retirement, they are going to have to pay their own way at Disney.

Here fucking here
Tonight is likely to be a rejection of @MikeRogersForMI. All my tweeting aside, I’ve known Mike & Kristi for 30+ years, I know how much it will hurt to lose. If that happens, I hope they accept this in the spirit in which this is offered: You deserve to be miserable after the appalling bigotry you’ve spread like napalm. Go away.
