But maybe the lame duck Senate will feel salty enough about losing that they'll impeach him before that happens?

I like to periodically call or email Schumer's office to tell him how to do his job, I am happy to continue to do so.04 Nov 2026 14:01 +0000at://did:plc:cx2jaz4khralphfahn4e7bx4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzijcjfhyk25https://bsky.app/profile/erinkathleen.bsky.social/post/3mzii46ix3c25Hey, pundits, hey, stop making the election a choice between affordability and accountability for Trump. Both. We want both. You can do both.04 Nov 2026 13:40 +0000at://did:plc:cx2jaz4khralphfahn4e7bx4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzii46ix3c25https://bsky.app/profile/erinkathleen.bsky.social/post/3mzigo5m25k25Dems might win a Senate seat in MISSISSIPPI. How is that not a mandate?

Rank bigotry isn't a winning message. You can't just gerrymander a state and put up any ding dong with an R after their name.04 Nov 2026 12:48 +0000at://did:plc:cx2jaz4khralphfahn4e7bx4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzifa2ga7k25https://bsky.app/profile/erinkathleen.bsky.social/post/3mzhjvunpik25My brother in Iowa and Ihave been texting all night, and he is overjoyed.04 Nov 2026 04:39 +0000at://did:plc:cx2jaz4khralphfahn4e7bx4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzhjvunpik25https://bsky.app/profile/erinkathleen.bsky.social/post/3mzhimresrc25Very happy for my origin state of Ohio (I was born in Cincinnati).

NY uses paper ballots, apparently there's an issue with the paper these ballots were printed on being too thick for the scanners. The Westchester part of NY-17 (Lawler) is the more lefty part of his district, so we might not get the results until late.

She ran deceptive ads during the primary implying Obama had endorsed her when he hadn't, and they definitely fooled some voters. Her exploitation of Black voters in Michigan for her own ends is pretty gross.01 Nov 2026 18:24 +0000at://did:plc:cx2jaz4khralphfahn4e7bx4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzbgl5kj722khttps://bsky.app/profile/erinkathleen.bsky.social/post/3mzbfmeyslc2kIn her video endorsing Rogers, she invoked Hasan Piker, which makes me think this is all bad faith and bitterness.
