10. Here ya go:

Collin County had a special election today for two city council races. These are officially non-partisan races, but both candidates recommended by the Collin County Democratic Party won!

Frisco: Ann Anderson 55.97% of the vote
Plano: Shun Thomas 58.11 % of the vote

These have both been very red areas, so (IMO) this is big!

24. please, it is MAGAts

REAL maggots serve an actual critical purpose on this earth

[NBachers]

28. I'm kinda committed to Maggots. I think it gets more of a rise from those who don't appreciate the benefits of maggots.

Subtlety, however direct, is beyond the reach of many.

R reps in newly shaped districts that are shitting their pants tonight.

BIG Congratulations to Democrat Taylor Rehmet! We’re proud of you!!!

32. The last Dem in that District was 25

years ago!

Guess Malaria's Flypaper Propaganda Doc didn't help in that District in TEXAS!!

TY Randy

[0rganism]

33. Hmm, I'm smelling a 30-pt switcheroo

takeaway: the GOP cannot afford to let the 2026 midterm elections proceed unmolested or they will lose both houses of congress decisively.
