as one of the only girls and often the only gay on many of the campaign calls I get on every single day, not sure I agree 100% with peter himbo's detective work here
.@PeterHamby asks if Democrats have a "girls and gays issue", where there are too few straight men "in the room."
HAMBY: "I just think you need a guy on staff who plays fantasy football."

There are too many spineless senators in Washington who refuse to stand up to Donald Trump.
Minnesota, we are not going to send him another one.

Lest any question of ~*viability*~ remain, this should put it to bed once and for all: last night, Peggy Flanagan alone won more votes than all of the Republican Senate candidates combined.

The populist Peggy Flanagan getting hugely outspent in the Senate primary and yet defeating an incumbent corporate Democratic member of Congress by 20 points is the biggest story of last night. Nothing really comes even close to that. Just absolutely enormous.

A lot of people own last night's win in MN-SEN, and For Some Reason 🙂 Tina Smith isn't getting more flowers, but she should. In an era of toxic gerontocracy, she chose to pass the torch, then threw her whole weight behind Peggy before almost anyone else did. A real one.
We deserve a Senator who puts Minnesotans first. Someone who sticks up for everybody. Someone who will work every day to build a country where people can afford to live the lives they want to live.
That’s why I’m endorsing Peggy Flanagan to be our next United States Senator.

This sank Craig. In Hennepin County, ground for for Operation Metro Surge, she's losing by 28 points. She's losing by 19 statewide.
Moderate Dems spooked by Trump's victory took a lot of questionable votes earlier this year. It was a safe bet Trump would be unpopular again. His approval turned negative by early February! The smarter move is to simply leave Trump to his own devices.

I dunno man. The thin skin, the arrogance, the quickness to turn nasty—If It Were A Woman™️ we'd be talking about temperament.

you could only possibly be surprised that the kind of men in politics who deify and defend sex pests might themselves be sex pests if you haven't been a woman in politics.
Incredible.
The left-wing activist who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate was barred from a previous Democratic Congressional campaign after multiple complaints of sexual misconduct.

A lot of the Platner online left double down gets easier to wrap your head around when you strip the ideology and recognize that there are many men out here, across the spectrum, who believe a woman’s agency is conditional and/or collateral for a greater good.
NEW: Politico knew at the time of publication precisely what Jenny Racicot texted to Graham Platner but deliberately omitted it from their article. Racicot, according to the lead Politico reporter on the story, told Platner she “needed her glute massaged.” He told her he was coming right over; she responded by telling him not to do so, but he came over quickly.
Whether this detail is important to you or not, it is a shocking breach of journalistic ethics by Politico and CNN not to include it in their coverage. Story at Drop Site to follow.

Cheyenne Hunt and Mrs. Frazzled, and the women who came forward about their experiences, have now saved two entire states and tens of millions of people from being governed by serial sex pests. Enough about media firms. Give these women the Nobel prize.

if nothing else maybe this can be the end of anointing media consultants who have never actually been staffers on a single campaign as the True Political Geniuses Of Our Time
"As Mr. Platner’s star rose through the winter and early spring, Mr. Katz was privately promoting him as a future presidential candidate for as soon as 2028, if he won his Senate bid" nytimes.com/2026/07/08/us/po…

Man, you can't even get black out drunk, show up to the house of the girl you're casually dating, let yourself in, and rape her. Really tough out there for heterosexual men.
Good luck being a heterosexual male Democratic candidate anymore with even a whiff of anything but the most pristine romantic/dating history, because wherever you might fall on the party's ideological spectrum, the minute you hit national notoriety, the knives are coming out hard
