More news, perspectives, and your comments below. See you there!
The statement embedded in the tweet is worth a look. It explains some of the changes in the redistricting map–and who was behind it.
They did it in my city as well. Establishment Democrats are just as against democracy as Republicans.

It is no secret that there’s a lot of corruption in the top tiers of the traditional unions like the Teamsters. Big reason why I’m always ranting about guys/gals like Chris Smalls keeping level/uncorrupted heads. I am a YUGE pro-union fan cos I have been through the employer abuse trip my whole working life! Man, could I write a horror story! 🙁
She’s very impressive. “May her tribe increase.”
Raising both fists in solidarity!!!!
Yuck, yuck, yuck. 🙂 Wait ’til it goes down in Floridumb. You’ll really see some crooked FRight, X-tian heads explode!
Took a trip to middle of the woods Tenessee to visit my sister, have missed all things political. Admittedly dont even know the status of what went down with Cisneros, but will read through the past posts.
It’s not known yet about @Texas28, so you haven’t missed anything. Cisneros is waiting for last minute mail-in ballots from overseas and vets. She needs at least 200 ballots to put her over the top – decisively.
Also provisionals, but most of those don’t get counted.
Tennessee might be full of a lot of redneck political stupidity, but it is one gorgeous state. I have been through it a bunch of times. Love your pics. LD/JD, glad you all missed the Uvalde shoot-’em-up. It was absolutely beyond stupid, hideous, and disgusting! 🙁

That’s been the game long before Citizens United. That ruling was just icing on a poisonous cake!
T and R, Ms. Benny!! 🙂 Hope your Holiday was healthy and peaceful. I went ahead and deleted my post. 🙂
FRightwingnut Israelis are way out of control now just like here.
Nothing new to see here. Just a state engaged in apartheid and ethnic cleansing, in broad daylight.
And our taxpayer dollars are paying for it.
Supreme Court blocks state’s [Texas]’de-platforming’ law

I don’t bet but my money’s on Ryan. Vance is a opportunistic joke. And yeah, I read ‘Hillbilly Elegy.’ Plus, tRump is turning into a kiss of death to a lot of voters especially conservatives.
Hey, it’s TomP from TOP.
I actually think Tim Ryan has a chance in this race, and that Ohio isn’t really +8 R, and there’s still enough swing voters left in Ohio. Sherrod Brown pulled it off in 2018. I guess we’ll see how Ryan runs and if Ohio hasn’t turned completely to the dark side yet.
TomP hasn’t returned to TOP in quite sometime. He’s happier on twitter.
More power to him, i used to read some of the comments until the pop up to register stopped me, A lot of vitriol there.
From the American Prospect e-mail newsletter:
Deflating Larry Summers
Cant have the worker bees getting to much of a wage increase so they have to price gouge to get their quarterly profits back and beyond normal
Summers is an over-rated, RW hick just like $hrill. International price gauging and the fact that the US no longer manufactures squat leading to, you guessed it, supply chain problems are the inflation boogeymen. The MICC hijinks with the Russkies and Ukraine neo-Nazis are another factor. 💩
No comment from the disgusted-beyond-belief gallery.💩
Levi got me to donate again.
