Okay. We try not to use the word “hate” around my 5-yr-old, so I’ll say that I really really really don’t like this. And it’s very shitty. You might think this is a funny troll job. You might think Cindy Hyde Smith was the worst senator in our history. You might think MAGA is cruel. Fine. But many people in that office you walked into, whom you’re trying to “own”, are probably hard/dedicated workers making not that much money who come in every day and take calls from constituents in Mississippi. They listen to their problems and try to communicate solutions or act as a go-between for Mississippians and their elected Senator. And all of them just lost their jobs. So for clicks and likes you’re what…putting them on camera in an embarrassing way at probably one of the most difficult and vulnerable moments in their lives. Cool. Hope you had fun. And this is absolutely not a partisan post, I have no reason to defend Sen. Hyde Smith. I was at USAID headquarters reporting the day DOGE announced their DC staff had to clear out their desks, and right wing trolls were there laughing, mocking dedicated public servants on their final day at work. It was disgusting, and I said as much as the time. To the trolls. You can absolutely celebrate Scott Colom’s historic electoral win without sinking this low.

Proud to be a veteran, proud to be young (ish), proud to be alive. We should always honor those who served.

11-3 on the horizon if Chuck Hubbard wins with provisional ballots in NC-05:
132
NC-03 update: After uploading provisional ballots, Raymond Smith (D) pulls ahead of Rep. Greg Murphy (R) by 255 votes with 3 counties remaining. Watch out for a potential Dem flip, y'all. #ncpol
