🙃Lucille Bluth's Assembly district will be represented by a candidate who was enthusiastically recommended by the Orange County DSA, anticipating that 'if elected, he would easily be one of, if not the most progressive member of the State Assembly' in their glowing write-up.
And another one gone. Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe overtakes Republican Huntington Beach City Councilmember Gracey Van Der Mark in the open Orange County #AD72, now leads by 632 votes.

Genuinely there is no single group which is hurting America more than the veterans. As a class, they are parasites. Everyone after 1973 chose to serve voluntarily. They then turn around and use that to con the public out of hundreds of billions in phony disability claims. Crooks.

The margin was so close in Mississippi that we can actually say that ending section 2 of the VRA cost Republicans the state.

Some 39 years before his son Scott would successfully win election to the U.S. Senate,
Attorney and businessman Wilbur Colom ran for state treasurer as the Republican opponent to Marshall Bennett, then-chairman of the state's Worker Comp Commission. He lost by nearly 40 points

Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of Medgar Evers, is still alive today at 93 years old. Cannot imagine what she must be thinking right now watching Scott Colom make history

Many people this side of the pond think street grids are car centric because they're common in America and Anerica is car centric, but it's literally the opposite. Grids are pedestrian centric and really bad for cars.

“Democrats across the country ran on fixing a rigged economy, broadly expanding healthcare, and energizing Latino voters—not on a Bernie Sanders platform.”
If the election was a test of whether Americans like Sanders’s message more or less than the standard Democratic message, the answer was clear: They like it less. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…
A dsa endorsed Bluesky poster reps Huntington Beach???? This might be a bit too much

We popped in to let Cindy know she lost.
Congrats Scott Colom on being the first Black Senator in Mississippi since 1881.

A Vet Day and Mississippi’s first Black Senator story.
My Uncle Frances was a 1st Lt. who was shot multiple times fighting in France. Never fully recovered. Came back to Mississippi and became a civil rights lawyer.
He later taught at Antioch Law School where he had @scott_colom mom and dad as students. They met at Antioch.
I was talking to Scott’s dad the other day and he was saying how much my Uncle Francis would have loved this moment.
The Colom family story is America at its best. Scott’s grandmother was a civil rights worker in Ripley, Ms. his dad co-founded the Innocence Project with John Grisham. His mom is the first Black female Chancery court judge in Ms.
And now Scott is a US Senator.
