Haha, I'm up in purple NE #Wisconsin now, but hey back!

Democrats have already flipped legislative seats in Arkansas and New Hampshire this month.

March 24, which has THREE specials in Florida that are within the range of flippable for Dems, could be wild.

Arguably it might also include Washington, but that Country is still pretty damn red vs the now more purple WOW cohorts.

Thanks!

I also found this interesting - "While 68 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties shifted to the right from the 2020 to 2024 election, one of the four counties to shift toward Democrats was Waukesha."

Anyone know which are the other 3, off-hand? Ozaukee, maybe?

A Certain Shade of Purple: Can these Democrats win local races in Waukesha County? In Waukesha County's two largest cities, unabashed Democrats Mike Hallquist and Alicia Halvensleben are each running for mayor. A special feature story on the purpling of the former GOP stronghold.

Appreciated this piece from @danshafer.bsky.social today -

Growing up in the WOW counties, I felt this part:

"Over the last 10 years when I’ve been knocking on doors... people are like, ‘Don’t tell anybody, but I’m the Democrat on the street.’ And I was like, ‘Actually, there are 5 of you.’"

“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” peaks at #2 today in ‘84

“We got every racial group of girl—mixed, Spanish, white, black, Asian,” said Lauper, “so that every little girl who looked at that video would .. understand that every young woman, older woman, every person is entitled to a joyful experience.”

👀 I think my very GERRYMANDERED CD is R+8 to 10. #Wisconsin #BlueWave #WisDems

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%).

This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.

Even worse, he's Paydari Front. They got what they wanted, one of their own as Supreme Religious Authority. And since the top layers of the Quds Force & IRGC have been taken out, it means the Paydari Front bubbas below those guys have now moved up. All this has done is made Iran more extreme.

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”

US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The lesson here (aside from it somehow looking like I'm wearing a wig): Ladies, never let a makeup artist you've never met talk you into a smoky eye and a nude lip. IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Is his head hiding a decimal point, too? 🤔

Yesss. Let's get next level on this.

What if you're so good you convince the ump and need to waste your own challenge, though? 🤔

I think there's a very real scenario where you actually platoon Bauers and Lockridge in LF and play Vaughn everyday at 1B and Chourio everyday in CF

Vaughn and Bauers are both making strong arguments to be in there regularly

25 pounds stronger, Brewers' Jesús Made impressed in first MLB camp Jesús Made showed up to big-league spring training stronger than ever this year, and it showed.

Jesús Made is 25+ pounds bigger and stronger than he was a year ago at this time. Of all the impressions he made in his first big league camp, his physicality might be No. 1.

"He's a specimen."

I hope he gets his bag as a guard. Where he's GOOD!

That's wild.

California has the jungle primary, so he probably will get through to the general. I had been mentally calculating if an R candidate on the November ballot could split the conservative vote in his district until I remembered that.

But verrrrry interesting...
