A picture suitable only for imprinting on a roll of toilet paper or a urinal!

10. 2 out of three...

…Ain’t bad 😹Sorry I couldn’t help myself! They still have the state senate but their lead is shrinking.
This cuts into their gerrymandered senate majority which, thanks to fairer maps, may yet yield a senate reflective of the electorate.
It’s a huge, huge, huge win though worthy of celebration, and hopefully signs of things to come, especially in the special elections coming up for vacant Congressional seats given people’s righteous anger at the fascist takeover and wanton destruction of their government to serve the greedlust of billionaires 🤞🏼🤞🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[benfranklin1776]

13. Indeed a small, but nevertheless very important triumph for justice!

[Cha]

16. So True.. I'm Ecstatic! I went back and read more of

the article... this is from Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s Executive Director, Mitch Kates...

"As we say here in Pennsylvania: Democrats get shit done!”

[SheltieLover]

7. Excellent!

Ty for the great news!

[AmericaUnderSiege]

9. Reject good news like the plague. Savor only what brings the fight.

This is just some weeks into a very big, old, and Russian-sounding swamp.

21. I read he ran an anti-Musk campaign.

I hope all 2026 Democratic candidates take note. Anti-Musk, pro-Social Security! I don’t see anything wrong with that platform.

[benfranklin1776]

23. Nothing whatsoever as those are THE issues of the present moment!

😎

[calimary]

24. Neither do I!

I bet by November 2026, people will have had enough of the “Flopsy Twins”, trump AND his little dog Musk (or maybe it’s the other way around? Elon and his little dog Donnie?).

[Cha]

25. TY for telling us that.. Two Major Issues of our

Lives!

[bucolic_frolic]

27. "three years ago, there wasn't even a Democrat on the ballot"

[lapucelle]

28. Thanks for sharing this. It's great news.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. BOOOOOOOOM!!

[RJ-MacReady]

30. Do Democrats now control the entire legislature?

If so that's monumental and a perfect way to showcase Democratic policy nationwide.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. No... not yet

Need a 5-seat pickup to just barely flip. We really need to work on that (which has been hard due to earlier gerrymandered districts that have finally been dealt with, at least to some degree). The state Senate has an alternating "even-Districts/odd-Districts" election every 2 years.
