Hello @hetaljdoshi @MDoughertyCO @daveyseligman. I have the highest regard for all of you. You're all valuable progressive assets to #copolitics and I hope that no matter what happens in the primary you continue to find ways to serve. But I have a question. If Jena Griswold is so terrible, why couldn't the three of you get out of each other's way? Each of you made the decision not to despite knowing you were splitting the opposition to the clear frontrunner. At this point, your continued piecemeal attacks are mostly providing ammunition to the Republican nominee who will if elected support policies that you are totally opposed to. So after the first question, I guess my second is, what's your endgame? Would you really rather have a Republican AG to help Trump undermine Colorado elections and attack abortion rights? Wouldn't it be better for you to help the likely nominee succeed, or at least commit to that in the likely event the nominee is not you? You each made decisions that led to this outcome. And you have responsibilities as progressive leaders that transcend your personal aspirations. Respectfully submitted.

Don’t have horse in the race, but almost voted for an incompetent candidate die to lack of information. Follow the lead folks. #Coloradopolitics cbsnews.com/colorado/news/je…

Even if it takes me 20 years I'll follow back anybody who reposts this thread

If you think California is taking a long time to count votes... wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein Files

Have to wonder why the leading candidate does not think this a worthy event to attend

Sunday Thoughts

i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip. i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero. when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio. instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest. it was a literal "ride menu." it said: 1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk). 2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening). 3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city). 4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast). i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you." he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence. it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset. when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews." He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear. my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired. she told me it feels like running a marathon. i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while." i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase. we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate. but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in. pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

JD Vance says Henry Nowak would still be alive if “the last few generations of Europeans had stood their ground against the mass invasion of migrants” If the Native Americans had kept out the invader scum like Vance, we wouldn't have to listen to this shit.

If you think I’m trashing MAGA (whatever that is now) I really am sorry. I know for certain there are millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump that love this country and love their neighbors and love their families and struggle and succeed and fail just like me and you and everyone. And I don’t begrudge them their political affiliation in any way. I just abhor the hate. The meanness for the sake of being mean. No matter where it’s coming from. I’m not your enemy man. I’m really not. They’re trying to get us to fight among ourselves while they pick our pockets and piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining. I’m not doing that to you and I sure as hell know you’re not doing that to me. What could we possibly gain by hating each other as they walk off with all the food on the table. We can disagree with each other without hating each other. We just all need to break the algorithm man. It’s so much more fun finding a reason to love someone than it is finding a reason to hate them.

Trump says he wants to 'take' Cuba because he objects to one family using the state as a vehicle for personal enrichment. Let's just leave it there, shall we.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500 pardons and slush fund payoffs.

Mike Johnson just had a meltdown on Fox News about "mini-Mamdanis" popping up everywhere. He accidentally told the whole country exactly why Republicans are about to get crushed. The Speaker of the House went on Fox News and lost it. Not over a policy fight, not over a scandal, but over the fact that progressive Democrats are starting to win and people actually like what they're doing. His exact words: "Mini-Mamdanis popping up all around the country, and they're openly avowed to socialist Marxist ideology. This is something we have never seen before in American history. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology. And that's a dangerous thing for the future of the country." Translation: People are starting to like Democrats who actually fight for them, and I'm panicking. And yes, the "mini-Mamdanis" are absolutely real. Graham Platner in Maine. Brian Poindexter in Pennsylvania. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. All running on Mamdani-style platforms. All gaining traction. All scaring the absolute hell out of Republicans and the corporate Democrats who told you for decades that progressive policies are unwinnable. Why is this happening? Because Mamdani just proved every one of them wrong. He inherited a $12 billion deficit from the corrupt Eric Adams administration. He erased it without slashing public services and without raising taxes on working New Yorkers. He's investing $122 million to hire 1,000 new teachers. He just turned the blocks in front of 50 NYC public schools into car-free "Soccer Streets" so kids can play in celebration of the World Cup. That's the nightmare Mike Johnson is screaming about on Fox News. Not communism. Not a "utopian ideology." Teachers. Parks. A balanced budget. Kids playing soccer. Republicans spent decades convincing Americans that government can't do anything well, that progressives will bankrupt them, that taxing billionaires will end civilization. Mamdani called the bluff. The math worked. The schools opened. The streets filled with kids. And now every red-baiting Republican talking point is collapsing in real time. Mike Johnson isn't afraid of communism. He's afraid of competence. He's afraid Americans will look at New York, then look at the Republican-run hellscapes across this country, and start asking obvious questions. Bring on the mini-Mamdanis. Every single one of them.

My Message to Republican Lawmakers You built this. Not the voters. Not the media. YOU. You saw the instability. You saw the narcissism. You saw the appetite for chaos. And...instead of containing it, you harnessed it. You fed it. You rode it. You told yourselves you could control it. You created a political Frankenstein...and...now you’re shocked that the monster doesn’t take orders. For a decade, you have watched as he scorched institutions...smeared allies...embraced authoritarians... and turned the presidency...into a grievance machine with nuclear codes. You knew better. Many of you said so privately. Yet publicly? Silence. Applause. Fundraising emails. You traded constitutional principle for short-term power. You surrendered oversight for party unity. You let fear of primaries outweigh fear for the republic. And now? Now you watch death overseas...instability abroad... corrosion at home...and...you still hesitate. You still calculate. You still ask what the base will tolerate. Leadership...is not about surviving the next news cycle. It is about protecting the system...when it is inconvenient to do so. You cannot claim surprise. You cannot claim helplessness. You had votes. You had hearings. You had leverage. You had moments...countless moments...to draw a line. Instead...you normalized what should have disqualified. History will not remember your press releases. It will remember whether you defended the guardrails or dismantled them. YOU built this. The question...now...is whether you finally dare to contain it...or...whether you will stand there again...hands clasped...pretending the fire wasn’t lit by you in the first place. Clearly, I jest. You’re all cowards. You’re all gutless punks. You are walking, talking examples of a corrupt political system...one that protects itself...and only itself.

It’s like the reverse of the Trump cabinet meetings

Florida is weird! Florida just passed the death penalty for pedophilia! Then put up a golden statue of a pedophile!? Mixed messages???

Electoral college is DEI for Republicans.

Donald Trump shouted “they’re eating the dogs!” on a debate stage then 75 Million people voted for him bro holy shit
