What's happening in the Nebraska Senate race? Some polls show the Republican losing?

Tony Vargas for US house in Omaha NE. Really great origin story and has a chance of winning!

Ya’ll doing God’s (Goddess? Mother Nature? Whatevs) work - thank you. I have been wondering the same thing; have little money but want to do what I can. Downballot is appealing, especially states like TX (my home). Gotta flip the legislature which may take a decadek due to gerrymandering.

Tamie Wilson is running against Gym Jordan in Ohio’s 4th (totally snakey, gerrymandered) district. I donated! Wouldn’t it be fabulous to kick Gym to the curb?

In addition to regular donations to Biden/Harris/Walz, I've been doing a monthly donation to Vote Save America. Is that dumb? Should my VSA money be going somewhere else?

Excellent piece today, Doktor, you've done our Homework for us. I took notes,and will be Donating to these Candidates, during the Last Leg's of the race. We Must elect"Democrats"in both the "House"and the"Senate" for the Majority, which will enable the Harris/Walz administration to do the"Hard Work"for the American people.Thanks, Doktor Zoom for your work here today! 💯👍💙🌊

OT but your photo looks just like our barn kitty.

I am making recurring monthly donations to 17 different races, funds and PACs. It’s a lot, but the idea is the motherfuckers stealing our country is not acceptable to me.

I’ve realized that I don’t have it in me to do canvassing or phone banks so have tried to direct a little cash where it can do good. And I will continue to send to Debbie M-p because I am in Florida and we need a dem senator

"And because we are also not the boss of you readers — though we should be, to shape you up"

A very Trumpette-like statement, Dok. The Amber Ardipithecus ramidus also wants to be our boss -- not our employee like a POTUS should be, one who answers to the electorate and not some inner perverted voice -- in order to whip us into shape. "MAGA is the future, and if you don't agree my knuckle draggers are just itching to teach y'all MAGA manners and see to it that you libs learn we really, Really, REALLY are the future."

"send some monetary love to the campaign of Wonkette pal Dr. Sarah Taber, who’s running to become North Carolina’s Agriculture Commissioner. Sarah is a crop scientist who’s been working in agriculture for 26 years"

Dr Taber is an expert (and female), and we all know what the RINOs think of experts (and females); she has an immediate problem since N Carolina is a New GOP-run state. The state is *not* purple as some pundits insist despite having a Dem governor. Since 1976 NC has voted for a Dem POTUS candidate only twice, since 1972 the state voted for eight R Senators to four D Senators (granted, since 1976 the state elected only three R governors).

If you look at a map, NC is predominantly red. (https://ncchamber.com/2023/10/04/is-north-carolina-really-a-purple-state/)

When push comes to shove, don't count on NC to be in VP Harris' corner.

For what it is worth, I'm a democrat, and my table saw was built in the Truman administration, and my financial situation is forcing me to buy off brand dog treats.

Cast-iron top in the table saw? Those old ones are the best.

Oh yes, and a nice 220VAC motor that weighs more than some cars.

I have adopted my nearby sister swing state of Nevada and throw coin Rosen's way when I feel like I need to help a candidate out because I live in deep Blue California. We need the good folks of the Silver State to vote for Harris and re-elect Rosen. Plus, it will make my father really upset (he retired to NV). So do it for democracy and my need for paternal schadenfreude!

If it helps you feel better, recent Nevada poll results posted by Jon Ralston showed her up 7 and Harris up 3. He's the one I trust the most when it comes to this state.

Expand full comment

It does. By the by, why is Jon Ralston particularly trustworthy?

I lived in NV for close to ten years. I didn't retire there. I worked for a California state agency at a remote border outpost where I couldn't buy a home, so I commuted from Nevada like everyone else on my crew. Then I got involuntarily retired and thought I was stuck. It took a few years, but I found a way to move back across the border. I was proud to vote for Harry Reid, Steve Horsford, Dina Titus, and Jacky Rosen. My work there was done, now I'm back fighting for Democrats in this red enclave in Calibama. Gotta say, I'm tired.

People are surprised when they find out about the red areas of CA.

I was amazed that Katie Porter won in her district!

People have been fed a commie-librul dystopian version of California for a long time. For the carefully taught, it’s all LGBT all the time in failing drug-infested cities. Where I live is a rock climbing mecca and skier’s paradise, and throw in fishing and hunting destinations.

I wish Katie hadn’t run for senate. She could probably have held on to her House seat as long as she wanted. We need her; I hope she finds another challenge.

Will Rollins. His opponent is a fossilized jagoff.

I keep getting ads from on Twitter. Seems worth a few $$

I am forced to wonder about people sometimes.

Case in point: A little while back I created basically a furry punk barbershop quartet, and used an AI generator to create the lyrics to their single 'Brain Bleach.' I posted this on Fur Affinity.

I received this response: "No youtube presence? wow. You gots any links to their music?"

Thinking about an ePipe vape thing. The main benefit being that you can turn it around so the saliva coated mouthpiece is facing people, and motion at them with it when you want to make a point as you orate.

Ooops, pic.
