@sethmoulton Polymarket is one of many cancerous outgrowths of free market capitalism
"america" in its purest form 🇺🇸
English
There is an ongoing search and rescue operation for a missing American service member whose plane was shot down over Iran. Their safety is unknown.
They could be your neighbor, a friend, a family member. And people are betting on whether or not they'll be saved.
This is DISGUSTING.
Quick reminder too that @DonaldJTrumpJr is an investor in this dystopian death market and may have access to intelligence that isn't public yet.
English
@dixonbremen @theliamnissan It is outlawed. Polymarket is banned in the US. Death markets are banned in the US.
English
@theliamnissan This should be outlawed. Disgusting. Must be what cock fight and dog fight people bet on
English
Ban this shit. It's corrosive to society
PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakes
Polymarket is allowing users to place bets on the rescue of U.S. pilots shot down over Iran. Disgusting.
English
@UgandanStrap @theliamnissan Kalshi is federally regulated. Markets on death are illegal (for good reason) in the US. Polymarket isn't federally regulated and puts up whatever they want. The biggest problems are with the unregulated markets, not the regulated ones.
English
@theliamnissan I understand why Kalshi says they don't do death markets. Wtf

Doing a campaign this energetic in a state so small is gotta pay off

I’m so excited to kick off my village tour! I’ll be in Toksook Bay and Kasigluk today, then St. Mary’s, Pilot Station and Hooper Bay on Friday, and Chevak and Scammon Bay on Saturday. From the Aleutians to the Arctic, I want every Alaskan to be part of this. See you out there!

@SwannMarcus89 And it's not necessarily a character flaw to have a political belief that's unpopular. But that doesn't mean it's not unpopular! It still very much is.
English
@SwannMarcus89 One of the weirdest delusions a lot of people have in politics is that when they have a fringe belief they often manage to think that everyone else secretly has that belief too.

The massive Democratic majority in 2008 existed because Obama did shit like win a majority of Tennessee’s House seats
Tennesseans thought Obama’s policies were too left-wing so they never voted Democratic again and socialists think this means he should have been more left-wing
Eric@Ericrse37986
This is why we leftists hate Democrats.

@Zach2049 @CrazySaw98 @smalls2672 Also, gas prices shot up over a dollar after Russia started a war in 2022. We don't have direct control over what Putin does. Gas prices shot up over a dollar after Trump started a war now. We do have direct control over that.
English
@CrazySaw98 @smalls2672 People never shut up when it was high under Biden. This time under Trump we get crickets.

the president was convicted of fraud btw

@51stWardCapt @bluevirginia Yeah, it would help a little bit to have a map that looks a little nicer and doesn't look as "gerrymandered" to the average voter, but overall, it doesn't really matter all that time how strong the gerrymander is to people's votes. Probably a bit, but not much.
English
@bluevirginia If this passes, the die-on-this-hill insistence on a hard gerrymander will be proven out —nobody would've looked at the issue and said, "Well, this is only a 9-2/8-3 split when it could have been 10-1...so yeah, I'll vote in favor"
So much credit/blame will go to the insistent
English
Really, the only hope for the NO campaign is very low turnout among the Democratic base and very high turnout among the MAGA base. So far at least - with 22 days to go - we're not seeing that. #comment-6857167018" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bluevirginia.us/2026/03/saying… h/t @samshirazim @ChazNuttycombe

For everyone that’s confused, the left of politics STARTS at anti-capitalism. Liberals are not leftists, the democrats are not leftists. Socialists and communists are leftists.

You just had to be there for the 2022 midterms. Dr. Oz' crudités, Hershel Walker and his fake badge, Doug Mastriano praying to God instead of running ads, Tudor Dixon being in a semi-adult film, Blake Masters making fun of astronauts, Trump endorsing Tim Michels over a prom date

@LyftLady11 @CryptoIsGreat @electionsjoe I think that's the only reason the polls are close. It will be very easy for voters (once they actually tune in) to figure out who the candidate actually is.
English
@CryptoIsGreat @electionsjoe Case in point, voters see Sununu and think it's gov
Pappas needs to work on thatm

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about this race...

@SunBeltPolitics @samshirazim I expect the persuasion to be similar to VA-AG or a bit redder and obviously with a redder electorate than 2025, so around Yes +4-5 in my book right now. Wide range of outcomes though. I also think EDay turnout could easily break more D than usual because R's already voted.
English
@samshirazim Honestly think it's sitting somewhere in the mid single-digits, there could be a slew of anything with a ton of factors.
Turnout is fairly high and keeps up in R areas, but satellites opening probably helps Dems. No probably has better persuasion, but are the two enough?
English
Anything can happen, but basically where I’m at too
Still lot of range in single digits
2017 was technically single digits, but 9 point Dem win was blue wave
2021 was 2 point GOP win was red wave
2025 style landslide is more of an anomaly in Virginia
Chaz Nuttycombe@ChazNuttycombe
I feel confident at this point that the VA redistricting vote will be a single-digit race.
English
@DorotheaMarj @hencexox @Taniel If it helps, a lot of mail ballots got counted in that race and shrunk the margin by quite a bit compared to likely when you last heard about the race.
Still a GOP overperformance, but nothing crazy, and special overperformances are always subject to a lot of noise.
English
@hencexox @Taniel The GOP overperformance in the special election makes me nervous. VA supreme court is mostly nonpartisan but theyve been mostly appointed by R legislatures. We need to show them a strong mandate so they would think twice if they’re even considering overturning the referendum.
English
Bluer areas of Virginia are picking-up voting: As of Monday, votes cast in the 5-GOP held districts were 60% of all votes cast so far (vs 40% in 6 Dem-held districts).
As of today, gap shrunk to 55% to 45%. Most of votes cast since Monday came in the Dem-held districts.

@Sassafrass_84 @LiberalHegemony "you're accusing me of being a loser when there is ample evidence that I spend my entire life on Twitter"
Well, yes

@cattymann3261 @GasBuddyGuy Gas prices went up in 2022 because Russia started a war. Gas prices are going up in 2026 because Trump started a war.
So, yes, a lot of people are more mad when their own government caused their prices to rise rather than an international one they have no control over.
English
GasBuddy now counts less than 1,421 stations with gas prices below $3/gal... and zero below $2 per gallon.

@KooHo_jin @MakeUSAVAT Yeah, people are making jokes in the comments, but an Acton Husted voter is really an aggressively normal archetype of voter.

@MakeUSAVAT Thinks Ramaswamy is too extreme but doesn't want to empower national democrats?
English
@cabsav456 The point is that you’re using an admin stay as “evidence” that this judge keeps getting struck down. It’s not. It’s literally just an admin stay.
If you want to make some point with other cases he’s had, go for it, but don’t bring this one into the mix.
English
Yes, I’m aware that it's an administrative stay.
But the key fact remains that Judge Murphy has now tried three times to block or severely restrict this third-country deportation policy (first with his April 2025 preliminary injunction - emergency stay granted by SCOTUS, then remedial orders he tried to use to enforce his injunction - SCOTUS clarified/expanded their emergency stay, and now his February 2026 merits ruling vacating the policy entirely - administrative stay by the 1st Circuit).
The point is that each time, higher courts have stepped in to halt his orders and let the policy continue operating, at least temporarily. They haven't issued a final merits ruling yet, but the repeated interventions show that multiple judges - including a majority of SCOTUS twice - have found the government's arguments strong enough on likelihood of success, irreparable harm, etc., to keep overriding Murphy's blocks for now.
At this point, it looks like the district judge is out of step with higher courts on this issue, and persisting with these injunctions just invites more emergency relief that keeps the policy in place. He should probably stand down until the full appeal (or SCOTUS merits review) plays out. He’s not doing that.
English
Judge Murphy (Biden appointee) has now been halted or stayed by higher courts three times on this exact third-country deportation issue, including twice by SCOTUS last year. His latest order was just stayed again by the First Circuit (a three-judge panel of judges appointed by Biden, Biden, Obama). This is judicial activism
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney
JUST IN: The 1st Circuit has granted an administrative stay of Judge Murphy's 3rd country deportation ruling, preventing his block on the Trump administration's policy from taking effect tomorrow.
