Dear Self-Serving @alsobrooks.senate.gov: YOU lied to your constituents when you voted for FELON/Sexual Predator Trump's #crypto scam legislation. So you're not any better. You represent the extreme wealthy. It's shameful. You must resign, too, & let an honest person have your #Maryland #MDsen seat

Dear @alsobrooks.senate.gov: WHY did you vote to advance Trump's #GENIUSAct crypto scam bill?
If you really cared about America's children, you wouldn't be helping oligarchs & FELONs cheat Americans.
Alsobrooks LIED to #Maryland voters. She really is a scammer.

Go to HELL @alsobrooks.senate.gov. You betrayed your constituents - siding with FELON Trump & his billionaire crypto pals.
#Maryland voters have no reason to ever trust another word out of your mouth.
Disgusting. Let's hope a Democrat with courage primaries you!

“Angela Alsobrooks takes down one giant, and the next giant steps up and she takes down that one, too.”
Here's a look into how Alsobrooks defeated two formidable opponents en route to winning a seat in the US Senate representing Maryland. #MDSen
www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-pow...
How did Angela Alsobrooks pull off her 10-point victory for U.S. Senate over Larry Hogan? (After a 10-point victory in the primary, too?)
I spoke with campaign manager Sheila O'Connell about the team's strategy and messaging. #MDSen
www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-pow...
ABC News projects that Angela Alsobrooks (D) has won #MDsen. She currently leads Larry Hogan (R) 53–45%. In the end, as it usually does, partisanship won out.
Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) elected to US Senate. The chamber will have two Black women serving together for the first time.
I wrote about Blunt Rochester and Alsobrooks a couple months ago:

The AP calls #MDSEN for Democrat Angela Alsobrooks. Her victory over former Gov. Larry Hogan makes her Maryland's first Black senator.
Sarah Ferris: "Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan touts Trump endorsement at a private fundraiser, after repeatedly saying he didn’t want it." #politics #MDsen

the above post is one of our starter queries, about the top crypto PACs (which @molly.wiki has done great work on for Follow the Crypto)
but the cool thing about Datatalk is that it can go so deeper — for example, which PACs from CA are the biggest donors to #MDSen candidates?
The Washington Post endorses Angela D. Alsobrooks for U.S. Senate in Maryland":

Also in the Digest:
• A key Democratic super PAC books $1 million to defend #MDSEN
• Crypto super PAC redirects money to help increasingly vulnerable Orange County Republican
• LosNew poll shows voters open to dramatically revamping government in America's largest county

Also in the Digest:
• GOP megadonor funds new $18 million offensive in #MDSEN
• A sex/ethics scandal embroils one of the most vulnerable House Republicans
• Democratic outside groups continue to outspend GOP counterparts in battle for the House
There's a PAC ad airing during Jeopardy going after Larry Hogan's very clear anti-abortion record, and it's very hard-hitting. (He's now pretending that he would protect abortion rights if elected, as a Republican, to the Senate.) #mdsen
Also in this Digest:
• EMILYs List launches $2 million campaign ripping Larry Hogan on abortion rights. #MDSEN
• Virginia GOP gets its first major candidate for 2025 race for #VAGOV.
• #KS03 Rep. Sharice Davids gets her first-ever endorsement from influential farm group.
Would be a good idea for MD Dem Alsobrooks to aggressively campaign vs Hogan (a bald Susan Collins) on #SCOTUS. Ask him to whether he'd vote for judges like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Thomas & Alito launching all out attacks on our fundamental rights via SCOTUS. #MDSEN
Also in today's Digest:
• A new #MDSEN poll both shows a tied race and underscores how tough Larry Hogan's task remains
• Probably the first campaign ad filmed in an Airbnb owned by a rival candidate.
• The #NJ09 field shrinks again just ahead of decision day.
This sounds about right. Going to be a closer Senate race than Maryland typically sees, but I don't think Hogan's personal brand is enough to overcome all the built-in Dem advantages. #MDSen
Dear Media & other Suckers: LYING Larry Hogan posted his tweet at 4:52pm - BEFORE the verdict was read. He played both sides - his MO - KNOWING whatever happened, he could look magnanimous to one side & critical of the outraged side.
STOP being such suckers!
#MDsen #2024Elections #TrumpGuilty
Don't be fooled by 🤥LYING Larry Hogan. He quickly called into question FBI's #MarALago search.
Now he wants you to believe he's all for rule of law. 🙄🫤🤥
He's running #MDsen in predominantly Democratic state.
LYING Larry will say/do ANYTHING now to get elected. 🤥
Meanwhile, co-hosts @davidnir.bsky.social & @dwbeard.bsky.social recap Tuesday's primaries, punctuated by Angela Alsobrooks' huge #MDSen win despite a $60 million onslaught. And don't overlook Anchorage! A Dem-backed indy is on track to flip the mayor's post after Tuesday's runoff
Morning Digest: Alsobrooks overcomes $60 million onslaught to win Maryland Senate primary #MDSEN
ICYMI @lukewgoldstein.bsky.social rounded up last night's Maryland primary, with a resounding upset win in #MDSen over record spending from David Trone, and AIPAC using its muscle to snag an open seat House race:
The AP has called the #MDsen Democratic primary for Angela Alsobrooks, who defeats David Trone 53–43% despite Trone spending $62 million of his own money. If, as expected, she wins in November, Alsobrooks will be just the 3rd Black woman ever elected to the Senate.
