The Progressive Update 2/25/2026: North Carolina and Texas Primaries

So, how about them politics? Everything in politics right now seems to be horrible, with notable exception to the staggering amount of progressive wins in down ballot races, and a deluge of progressive upstarts running for office. We already have two new progressive members of congress with Christian Menefee and Analilia Mejia before any of …

The Progressive Update 7/16/2025: Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, and Washington Primaries.

Okay, so Deja Foxx was a bust, but we have a LOT to cover August 5th, enough that I can’t even waste time with a recap. The best place to start may be Arizona. While the Deja Foxx race didn’t go our way, we do have primaries for Tucson City Council. Personally, I don’t see …

The Progressive Update 7/3/2025: Deja Foxx Gains on Grijalva, Upset in the Making?

So, I’m just going to say ahead of time, don’t expect me to have one of these out every week since I still do game reviews and shit like that, but there’s been a sudden development in one of the races that I covered. In the last piece, I discussed the Arizona Special Election for …

The Progressive Update 6/26/2025: Zohran Mamdani Makes History, Elections of July 2025.

It’s time to bring back an old favorite. Ever since 2020, the Left has seen electoral defeat after electoral defeat, enough that it’s become easy to lose faith in the movement as a whole. This reached its peak in 2024, where not only did every left leaning congressional challenger get blitzed with tens of millions …

The Progressive Update (8/22/2022): July & August recap, Florida & New York Primaries.

So, a lot happened since the last update. The reason why is because July had only one primary, and up to this point, I was busy working with Progressive Victory 2022, a group of volunteers looking to help research and organize in various races across the country. If you are interested in joining this group, …

The Progressive Update (6/26/2022): Big Wins in California, Iowa, and DC. Primaries in Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, and New York.

So, just got off of a nice break, and we are now back to writing about politics again. We have another big day on June 28th, and this time, I decided to get the research done so I can complete this one a few days early. But first, we have the recap of the past …

The Progressive Update: (6/3/2022): Fetterman, Summer Lee, McLeod Skinner win, Cisneros loses, California/New Jersey/New Mexico/Iowa Primaries, Alaska Special Election.

So, a lot happened the past few weeks, and a lot is happening on June 4th. That’s good news for the movement but bad news for me since it now means I have to write about all of it. So I guess we’ll pick up where I left off last update. So yeah, Fetterman won …

The Progressive Update (5/16/2022): Super Tuesday – Midterm Edition

So, some good news of of West Virginia. Not only did all four progressive state legislature with contested primaries with theirs, but progressive Joe Solomon also won his primary for Charleston city council at large, which brings progressive representation to the biggest city in West Virginia. Other noteworthy news is that House Freedom Caucus lunatic …

The Progressive Update (5/6/2022): Roe Vs Wade Repealed, Nina Turner Loses Again, West Virginia Primaries.

So, these past few days sucked. It’s not so much a question of “what happened” but more so “why?” Starting with the SCOTUS leak that Roe Vs Wade will be overturned, this only makes sense as the logical conclusion based on the direction this country is heading. We could sit around and speculate as to …

The Progressive Update (7/28/2020): New Jersey & Texas Recap, August 4th & 6th Primaries

After a break from my the usual schedule, I have come to the conclusion that I’m going to change the name of this series to something that more accurately sums up what it was supposed to do. Not to mention that “The Weekly Bern” makes it sound like it’s directly associated with Bernie himself, which …
