What Murkowski did just shows once again what kind of weasley person she is. Sullivan is an asskissing Trump supporter, and she knows damn well that Mary Peltola is much better for Alaska and the whole country. So much for that much vaunted "independence" from a proven coward. As for Sullivan, he's a carpetbagger whose family and Koch Bros money got him his Senate seat to begin with. They both disgust me.
With Mamdani as a template, and given the state of the world, imagining it being a challenge for the Dems to gain four senators? Fuck that noise. If they fail, they deserve to fail. Why aren't they right now in Texas rallying the vote? Right now and every day in between. They aren't even controlled opposition. They're just opposition. They're invisible except a nonsense whatever that was yesterday. Eggs were an issue in 2023. TALKING about grocery prices now? Weak tea. Fix the prices. Regulate the greed. Tell us war criminals will absolutely be prosecuted. March in Washington, daily. Them, Congress. Let them march. Do something besides email. And Newsome doesn't stand a chance so let's not waste time or money or ink on him. Even figurative ink.
Hey, Alaskans! If you re-elect Sullivan and the Republicans retain control of the Senate, there's a chance Greenland will be the 51st state and it's 25% bigger'n Alaska! You gonna stand for being 2nd place?
Late to the party here, but I like the cut of her jib. Will she win? I dunno, but they will scream Fraud! if she does, and she'll be kept out of her seat for a year.
Peltola's consultants spamming me with 10-20 texts daily since she announced demanding money can fuck right off. I mark em as spam and like the Hydra, two more grow to replace it.
I like her but this insane barrage typical of the tired old DLC bullshit is a huge turn-off.
I agree about the avalanche of $$ spam coming from every candidate, everywhere...names I've never even heard of. I want to support Mary financially, but January isn't even half over, and I am sick of all the texts from everyone wanting money. I hate it, and I'm very gunshy already.
My cell plan is tiered and the money beg texts have pushed me into higher a higher tier in Nov and Dec and it has not slowed down in Jan. Yeah, its only $10 a month, but that is $10 no Democrat running for office is gonna get and adding $10 to a normally $25 bill is a big enough percentage jump to piss me off.
What do you mean regular voters? Campaign advisors only get input from the large donors which is why the party leadership is so fucking weak about standing up to Orange Turd when the regular voters are on the street getting shot in the face by the pigs.
Good luck with that. It is being done as a direct to voters ballot initiative. He can vote against it and campaign against it, but that is all. He has no official power to stop it.
I know Evan has something new up, but I’m just gonna stick with this one for now, because happy articles are rare enough that we ought to eke all the happy out of them that we can.
BREAKING: Louisiana Seeks to Extradite California Abortion Provider
In September, Abortion, Every Day broke the news that Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill had signed an arrest warrant for California abortion provider Dr. Remy Coeytaux, accusing him of illegally mailing abortion pills into the state. Today, the Republican AG ramped up her efforts—making a splashy social media announcement that she’s signed an extradition request for Coeytaux.
“This is not healthcare; it’s drug dealing,” she said. Coeytaux is charged with violating a Louisiana statute banning “criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs,” and faces up to 50 years of hard labor.
Coeytaux is the second abortion provider Louisiana has targeted with criminal charges and extradition. In January 2025, a grand jury indicted New York provider Dr. Maggie Carpenter on felony abortion charges, with Murrill signing an extradition order a few weeks later:
California already did. They passed a bill that basically says all these assholes can fuck off with their bullshit the moment they hit the California border.
Our so-called aspiring Canadian boyfriend (although I don’t think he’s called himself that recently) declined. Said something about having enough frozen wasteland already…
I live in NE Minneapolis, two blocks from Central Avenue, a busy thoroughfare that is home to countless businesses owned by, and catering to immigrants. Every storefront and restaurant represents a different community. It’s one of the reasons I bought my house here.
For the last hour, there has been a constant barrage of car horns, shouting and banging coming from Central Avenue. What there hasn’t been is the usual afternoon multilingual shouts of the dozens of kids who play on the supervised playground of the church across the alley from me, the church that also houses an ESL school.
This neighborhood is home to hundreds of kids of all ethnicities, who are trapped in their homes for their own safety, listening to the sounds of literal warfare in their neighborhood. Because of Trump’s bigotry and his followers’ hatred and desire for violence.
I wish I could tell each of those kids it’s going to be okay. It’s not, but I still wish I could let them know most of us are on their side.
NICK Begich, not Mark

Two more Democratic Senators! Woo-hoo!
Call it "Seward's Inadequacy"
And with the melting permafrost, it's gonna be... well... soft.
And methane-filled, like a certain President's diaper.
Late to the party here, but I like the cut of her jib. Will she win? I dunno, but they will scream Fraud! if she does, and she'll be kept out of her seat for a year.
Why don't the Dems do such things when they have the power?
Because Dems still live in a world where democracy is an ideal, not a hindrance.

Do block them. Tho I know they keep coming.
You can block, just sayin'
Unfortunately, there's no way to block of all of them all at once. It's one by one by one until you go crazy from it.
I do, but they keep coming from different numbers
It doesn’t help, they have thousands of burner or fake numbers.
To them, it's marketing and rallying the troops, but they have phones and see how this looks to regular voters, right?
What do you mean regular voters? Campaign advisors only get input from the large donors which is why the party leadership is so fucking weak about standing up to Orange Turd when the regular voters are on the street getting shot in the face by the pigs.
This is also why Gavin Newsom (ugh) just promised to veto a millionaire tax in his state. He's running and needs every dime he can PAC
Good luck with that. It is being done as a direct to voters ballot initiative. He can vote against it and campaign against it, but that is all. He has no official power to stop it.
Ta, Dok. I like Peltola, and hope she can do the near-impossible.
Do people still say "Word." anymore?
I seriously doubt Maine has learned its lesson.
We keep the promised two term, trump taint licker , roe killer , concerned Collins.
She promises the BIW trump chuds the war contracts for jerbs, all the while right to working them, while they live under union protections.
Maine: Fish AND Militias!
Hey we aren’t the Alabama of New England for nuthin!
Thanks. Now a monthly contributor to Mary Peltola.
Thought you might enjoy this photo of her with her late husband, children and their children and spouses.

....but those black market Viagra tablets those Lousiana fellows have mailed to their home are just FINE, aren't they, you hypocritical harridan.
Seeing those commercials is the worst part of having insomnia.
Upfist for "harridan"!
I absolutely love learning new words, and you seem to know lots of good ones. And I've commented before on your alliterative abilities.
English, by way of the French, meaning tired, old horse. Etymology is fun too!
*googles her*
Yeah, she's all for that
Thanks for solving all the rest of the state's problems so you could busy yourself with this nonsense, Liz.
"and faces up to 50 years of hard labor."
oh just get the fuck out of here
Fuck off, Louisiana.
Breaking rocks in the hot sun?
I fought the law ... and I won!

Newsom should tell the Louisiana AG to go to hell!
California already did. They passed a bill that basically says all these assholes can fuck off with their bullshit the moment they hit the California border.
I'm just saying, Alaska joining Canada makes way more sense than America invading Greenland.
That would be heaven for all of us here.
Our so-called aspiring Canadian boyfriend (although I don’t think he’s called himself that recently) declined. Said something about having enough frozen wasteland already…
That's tragic. Anyway, it's a very inaccurate and unfair description.
I think he was being snarky.
When will we agree that whistles and shouting aren't getting it done against masked, armed gangs? Do we wait until the takeover is complete to revolt?
What's your plan?
Please elaborate.
