To give you an idea of just how badly Montana Democrats have managed to fuck this up, consider that I just removed Montana, a state which had a Democratic Senator as recently as 2 years ago, but am keeping Wyoming, Alabama and Tennessee on the page.
OK, that does it: I’m removing Montana from my Senate page altogether.
Montana Democratic Party Chair Shannon O’Brien has resigned to endorse independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar.
“Bankhead does not have the momentum, resources or will to win this race,” she wrote, accusing the Democratic nominee of “mudslinging” at Bodnar.

Please read this people who think Democrats will have a magic “Fix everything that got fucked up because I didn’t vote for Harris” wand.
Because I see people threatening to never vote for Democrats again if they don’t fix everything. Insane idiots.

ELECTIONS UPDATE - There is unified messaging on this so far as I've observed. If you see ICE MFs at the polls,
Your priority is to VOTE. Voting is how you fight. If you want to record them afterwards--sure. Just make sure the voting happens and finishes up as a completed task. Capisce?

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you.
What you don't do is despair and stay home.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer.
You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?
