TheBionicBee 🐝16Good morning F&Fs! ☕️☀️💙 A huge and historic win!!
mainebogboy.bsky.social15Yes Foxy! What a wonderful victory! Even the disgraceful person he defeated actually conceded graciously - sort of. The power of the vote! Orono Maine this morning. Jim👋😊🗳️🗳️
mike14Good morning Foxy! Happy Thursday! ☕☀️💙 We are taking our country back!
M.T. Nestor🦜13What a great celebration! Good morning, Foxy! The gap in the Senate continues to widen, and this was a great way to do it! Have a wonderful Thursday!
Also, Scott Colom is not a "right-wing Democrat." Get the fuck out of here with that.
jwporter13Thanks, Professor. I appreciate you using your platform with gusto. 
melodicsighs.bsky.social8Doesn’t align perfectly with me on the issues I care about = right-wing Democrat.
kentropic7It’s always disappointing to be reminded that MAGAworld isn’t the only place where clueless doctrinaire assholes roam free - although it is their preferred natural habitat.
panda, the artful bisexualist2i’m glad i got to this post before responding, my first instinct of “a lot of us, unfortunately, are Going Through It Without Good Cope”; but there’s no excuse for doing a racism, good grief.
Shitposting as Constitutional Due Process2Dafuq is that even? Sounds like something a Russian disinfo bot would float.
Doesn’t have the most left wing view possible about any single issue = “right wing democrat” will be the way democrats lose the momentum they have right now as quickly as Trump lost his from 2024. Let’s be smarter than that people.
It's funny that what won Mississippi for the Democrats was his opponent using the talking point of chained CPI: inflation isn't so bad because people can substitute cheaper versions of the same good. Chained CPI is what Simpson-Bowles wanted to use to cut Social Security.
David Dayen65Obama then tried to use chained CPI for the same purpose. To put a finer point on it: Cindy Hyde-Smith was thinking like an economist. Voters revolted in historic fashion.
Atrios15Loved that era. Ok cpi should be more exact, so like a cpi for the elderly, we can chain that then? Hahaha no
Corb4The perfect anti chained CPI ad. There's no inflation- just swap beef for cat food.
EveningStarNM2It's also what Obama proposed.
chadmasterclass.bsky.social2Ironic that it's about beef consumption which MUST be reduced overall or we're all going to die
Midatlantica1While Obama empaneled Simpson-Bowles, he and everyone else in government treated them like barely respectable cranks and didn't move to implement much of their recommendations
"Colom will fill a seat once held by Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederate States of America". www.ft.com/content/ed93...
Anthony Michael Kreis47No, no. He's taking the Class 2 seat. The Class 1 seat is cursed. Irredeemably so.
eric gonzalez juenke13Keep these coming. Civil rights material starts in two weeks and history is rewriting itself.
Phil Klinkner4Lots of people here echoing this but it’s incorrect. Jefferson Davis held the other MS Senate seat. I’m sure he’s still spinning like crazy in Hell though.
