if Mike Waltz' Trump +30 seat is in danger, Stefanik's is in real danger:

They can reap what they have sewn. And, I would love to see some of them recalled also in the states that allow for recall elections.

Or the FL seats

larrytenney.bsky.social•82 days ago

We'll see

Yes

And they can lose her seat in 2026

Flip NY-21 in 2026

Trumps impressed by looks.
Perhaps Elise wasn’t skinny enough.

This is the REAL reason the Tangerine Twat pulled her nomination. Keep it up, team, we're winning.

Damned right. And may that fear only grow.

They should be afraid of that. Meanwhile, they continue to pass legislation that hurts their constituents who will, at least to some extent, catch on

Because they would. Look what happened in Pennsylvania. People are fed up with this Evil money-mad power-grabber. He continues to taunt us at his peril. It won't end well for him or his backers. In fact, it will be disastrous for them all.

Exactly. They did this for fear of losing NY-21. Yet they can't stop the momentum in Florida that's doffing its red for blue. They can't stop the fired feds, the vets, the medicaid & social security recipients who want justice to vote for two who have pledged to obstruct these cuts.

@gayforcongress.bsky.social and @joshweil.bsky.social are Progressive Democrats who have promised to fight the current administration. Join us from any U.S. state to make phone calls to their voters to get them out to vote this Tuesday April 1st.

I opened a Conservative subreddit and was pleased to find words like “incompetent” and “disgraceful” to describe the current administration. Give ‘em enough rope and they’ll hang themselves I guess
