Arizona ballot initiative would enshrine mail-in voting in state constitution A new Arizona initiative would permanently write early and mail-in voting into the state constitution.

Organizers in Arizona are gathering signatures for a constitutional amendment that would enshrine the right to vote *by mail*.

This has long been a very popular option in AZ, but Republicans want to sharply curtail it.

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

📣 FWIW: Across 20 states whose filing deadlines have passed, Democrats have candidates running in 85% of the state legislative seats on the ballot this November.

NC & TX Dems have candidates running in *every* seat.

At the low end, Dems in AL, AR, KY & NE have less than 60% of races filled.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Hakeem Jeffries would be speaker if ~6,000 voters had voted for Democrats instead of Republicans in just 3 Congressional districts.
Drove trillions in tax cuts, spending cuts, regulation cuts, the ICE surge, Defense buildup, etc.
I'm always surprised when people say politics doesn't matter.

Democratic Turnout Surges in Mississippi’s US Senate Primaries, Nearly Matching GOP Total Mississippi Democrats turned out in large numbers in the March 10 midterm primaries, nearly matching the total number of Republican votes cast.

NEW: Democratic turnout surged in Mississippi's U.S. Senate primaries Tuesday—coming within about 7,000 votes of matching GOP turnout.

About 156,000 Democrats voted on Tuesday—up from just 87,931 in 2018, the last midterm Senate primary.

Scott Colom says it shows he can beat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Democrats win GOP seat in New Hampshire, notching 10th straight special election flip Since the start of Trump's second term, Republicans have flipped zero Democratic seats

OUR FULL WRITEUP of tonight's big special election flip for Dems in NH. A few details:

• The GOP candidate had to run as a write-in in the primary b/c he'd only just moved to the district

• The GOP spent heavily, including their official campaign arm

• School vouchers were a flashpoint

And more!

And #2: The Senate race is set between GOP incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith and Scott Colom for Dems. Colom is a DA whose nomination to a lifetime federal judgeship by Biden was blocked by Hyde-Smith.

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.

11.03.2026 01:57 👍 4564 🔁 992 💬 41 📌 61

Unofficial final results in the New Hampshire #HDCarroll7 (Trump+9) special election:

Bobbi Boudman (D)- 51.9%
Dale Fincher (R)- 48.1%

This would be a 13 point overperformance from 2024 and the third Democratic state legislative flip of 2026!

Another conservative justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Annette Ziegler, just announced she'll retire ahead of next year's elections.

Her announcement comes just weeks before conservatives are trying to defend a different open seat.

Liberals could emerge with a 6-1 majority by 2027.
