Raine (Taylor’s Version)

@OppsIAteTheCat @StitchySherry @AmyKremer Why yall wanna gerrymander enough to keeps the midterms? Not gonna work lmao

@StitchySherry @AmyKremer It's unfortunate that the Supreme Court ruling came down two days after early voting started in GA. Many are pointing fingers at Kemp, but their frustration is misplaced.

So SC and GA are the 2 states who are not redrawing the maps for 2026… The others are have moved, or are moving, to redraw their maps: ✅ Alabama ✅ Florida ✅ Louisiana ✅ Mississippi ✅ Tennessee ✅ Texas

@FurkanGozukara Koreans make great pastries: but then at every Korean bakery near me they individually package them in plastic. Every wonderful croissant becomes a mushy soft mess within a few hours

Absolute bombshell in the culinary world. South Korea just went to Paris and WON the global baking competition, beating the French at their own game. Korean bakers are taking European styles and adding local twists. The new kings of bread!

@jessicafalstein @DavidSchwartz70 After Trump no one cares. The bar is through the floor after all the horrible things that demented orange jerk says

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.

@TAK121300 @Jebailey Often for international flights RT economy is like $700 per seat versus $5000 per seat for first class. If you’re two people sharing this, that’s $2100 total versus $10000 total

@Jebailey If you’re paying for essentially 3 seats this isn’t gonna change shit. Rich people will do it. No one else would be able to afford it

I'm a Delta guy but this could potentially change the industry if succesful

@mnnurse10 @samstein @Lauren_V_Egan Lmao right. No one has ever been more attractive as a candidate than KH

@samstein @Lauren_V_Egan Kamala Harris is attractive and Trump looks like a chewed up pumpkin, let’s be serious here .?

NEW: In their frantic efforts to win back power, Democrats are warning up to something more... primal: Why not just run hotter candidates? These convos are really happening. And there is real science behind it. via @Lauren_V_Egan thebulwark.com/p/thirst-traps…

@smarkstrickland @mavsmarie Lmao are you people capable of speaking at all without your insane obsession with gender. It’s so weird. You show how literally STUPID you are when you just eat their talking points and regurgitate them.

@mavsmarie So you believe that Talarico will tax billionaires, which will lower prices and make your life better? I have more than six genders and twelve boys playing girl sports that will tell you it won’t. He has no experience, he has no plan to help you.

“what do American people care more about — Pronouns or prices? ” is such a mic drop moment

@cnni You need to do a story on how horrible Qatar Airlines - they’re stranding people all over the world and have no way to rebook. Horrible horrible customer service you need to cover this

Arab states in the Persian Gulf tried to prevent a US-Israeli strike on Iran. Now, as Tehran retaliates, their own territories are under fire. cnn.it/3NfeNbL

@SecKennedy @KidRock Yall are legit the trashiest humans I’ve ever seen

I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD.

@electionsjoe @DRvulupa Dude if not Newsom based on polls we might get Kamala. I love her but I’d rather take my chances with Newsome. Personally my dark horse and fav is Ossoff

@DRvulupa As of right now I'm pretty open to most people who aren't Newsom, Shapiro, Harris, and Pete.

We never learn

@OW_Mercy_Only Meeee

Who’s tryna be my valentine

@Vibutler_ I’m team AOC / OSSOFF in either order. Unfortunately Kamala likely is seen as going backwards when we should be moving away from prior admins and inspiring hope with new faces

This gives the game away. Y’all just want her out of 2028 so yall get your favorite white man instead

@Lea97141 @RealDonKeith You have this backwards. There are plenty of Rs. Hiroshima? Ryokan? There is no L sound so they use R. Hotel becomes HOTERU

@RealDonKeith There is no “r” sound in Japanese, they use “L” sound instead: Beer -> bee lu Hotel -> Ho te lu

🤣Japanese people trying to pronounce “refrigerator.”

@Respect2BG I loved her so much 🥲

Kamala is taking me to stan levels I haven’t felt since Obama ’08.

@FmrRepMTG @RepThomasMassie @HasanKhxnx Girl why’d you help us get here with Trump??

@RepThomasMassie @HasanKhxnx These are not the type of public statements that any of us should have to make. But I’ll back this up as his friend. Thomas is one of the happiest people I know. He loves his kids and grandkids. He loves his wife. He loves his life. And he loves our country and Kentucky.

Can you, the people, “vote your way out of this?” Honestly, not if you get your news from these folks. The swamp has tricks for deceiving the public, and most even work on congressmen. Here’s an example of how Laura and Greg played along as happy tools of the swamp. Please ask yourself why your own congressman has never talked about this. He either hasn’t gotten this far in the game (80% chance), or he likes the way the swamp obscures what’s going on (10% chance), or he dislikes the system but the price he’d pay for telling you is too high (10% chance). If a congressman sees this post and wants to debate me, I accept! The House has rules we adopt at the beginning of each Congress. Honestly we should just use those - some go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson. Some are like Robert’s Rules of Order which branched from House rules a century ago. But we have a rules committee that modifies the rules every week. I served on the rules committee for two years. When I was on the committee, I refused to vote for rules changes if the purpose was to mislead or obscure. Every week, the rules committee bends the rules to suit the Speaker, but you can’t place the blame just on the committee or the Speaker. Every rules change must be approved by the whole House with a majority vote. Rank and file congressmen are told to vote for these rules modifications each week for the sake of party loyalty because the rules are temporarily modified by the majority to keep the minority from using the permanent rules against us. This is partly true, so most congressmen never question beyond this. Typically, every week the rules committee meets before other committees and writes a rules package to protect bills that will come to the floor that week. Then the whole house votes on this rules package early in the week before significant legislation comes to the floor. The vote is typically on party lines. Sometimes a block of congressmen in the majority will take the rules package hostage and withhold their vote to get something else that has nothing to do with the rules. I’m not a big fan of this, but after 13 years, my hands aren’t completely clean of this tactic. The high-road position that I try to maintain is that if the rules package is bad, you shouldn’t vote for the rules package, and in general you shouldn’t withhold your vote from a rules package if there’s nothing wrong with the rules package… even if you disagree with the policy that is enabled to come to the floor by the rules package. There are more details, but that’s all you need to know to understand what I’m going to explain next. This week the Speaker wanted to do two things outside of our base rules, so he put those inside of the rules package that also had the rules for bringing bills like the popular SAVE Act to the floor, knowing members would be afraid to vote against something associated with SAVE. THIS IS INTENTIONAL. The Speaker wanted to circumvent the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to avoid voting on tariffs and he wanted to turn off the ban on bringing a spending bill to the floor the same day it’s introduced. The first rules package that came to the floor this week failed because myself and other republicans objected to it. The rules committee met again, wrote a new rules package without the tariff-trick, and we voted on the second rules package. I voted no but internet goons, like clockwork, characterized this as a vote against the SAVE Act. The swamp used that second rules package to give them authority to pass a bill before anyone could read it. They hid that authority inside the rule for the SAVE act because they knew people like Laura and Greg would help them disparage anyone who didn’t go along. If you fell for Laura and Greg’s slop you were cheering for the Pelosi doctrine that we should pass bills to see what’s in them. If the rules package had failed, the rules committee would have written a better one and SAVE Act would have still come to the floor.

@sock_puppet1787 @earlyvotedata Okay and the R is at 41…

@earlyvotedata Lotta polls showing Dems at max 45, 46%. I’m not seeing a lot that are 48% or above, something interesting to look at

Sununu is sticking around...that is striking distance. But it's a hard race for Rs in NH on the federal side.

@AllCreaturesTO @slater57649 It’s called having fun in a thankless job stfu

No she needs to be fired for searching for clout by using/filming someone’s personal struggles. Yes even if the person is not featured - this is a private moment that shouldn’t be publicly posted. The caretakers we’ve all been told to worship and who are “underpaid” are turning into horrible grifters we would be better without

This girl needs a raise

@Cheryl707 @JanetMillsforME She legit votes for everything Trump wants, shut up ya old bat

@JanetMillsforME Thirty years of reason and good judgment. One if the few in congress who isn’t married to ideology. You would be just another partisan puppet.

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

@SJonNantucket @ECaliberSeven Lmao theyre not coming out for the pedo Epstein party - Republicans are losing the house and may even lose the senate

@ECaliberSeven The vast majority of GA non voters in 24 were rural Non whites. It Rs can get some of them to turnout in 26 GA will be red. That's a fact

Some basic midterm math: - Georgia is Trump+2.2 - Incumbency is worth ~3% on average - Under the current D+6 generic ballot, GA will on average be ~7.5% bluer than 2024. AKA, even before considering candidate quality, we should be expecting Ossoff to win reelection by 8%.

@SJonNantucket @ECaliberSeven Agree. Might hit D+8/9

@ECaliberSeven Except the GCB won't be D+6. Not even close

@ZacharyDonnini @aethelamerican @TonerousHyus Ossoff will have Warnock and other black leaders from Atlanta and Georgia on his side. He will do very well with black voters by being from Georgia - very diff from previous “failed” white candidates like Sanders or Pete

@aethelamerican @TonerousHyus Possible, but I think a lot of people underestimate how much of a better place he's in with Black voters than Pete/Shapiro due to his ties to the Southern Dem political establishment

I do think there’s a plausible best-case rollout for Ossoff where first its: “Wow, he just won Georgia by 5.” Then, two months later: “Oh, he’s running for president.” That’s a pretty clean momentum arc, and Democratic primary voters are always hyper-focused on electability.
