Polls for Republicans are just getting worse by the day in a way that isn't actually all that common in midterms. It's gotta be mostly the gas prices, although maybe AI anxieties are also reverberating negatively for the GOP. Model update out soon.
I dunno man, it’s not like he’s just a regular old normal president. I get that everyone is invested in Mamdani being perfect, but that press conference was pretty gross. Liz Cheney made it her life’s mission to ensure that Trump wasn’t normalized. She went down swinging.
If you weren’t Alive shut the fuck up about it.
You didn’t watch human beings jump out the towers to their certain death.
You didn’t watch the towers come down real time.
I don’t love this idea that nothing anyone said or did in 2019-2020 counts.

This entire story is Trump's presidency in a nutshell: the DOJ brings totally baseless charges against an ordinary citizen in order to satisfy Trump's narcissistic delusions, and then, after having wreaked havoc on the guy's life, says "Never mind." Utterly pathetic.
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://t.co/yWzkTG76wo
Bernie ran for president as a Democrat twice, used their debate stage, donor lists, and primary infrastructure both times, then turns around and says “I’m not a member of the party” the second anyone asks him to own its problems. Can’t have it both ways forever.
I think it’s quite telling that so many people’s response to it was “at least he tried.”
Student loan forgiveness has entered the chat.
Mamdani is truly the Trump of the left. He gets away with shit no other politician can.
At some point Dems are going to have to grapple with the reality that in the face of all of Trump and Republicans’ manifest horribleness and incompetence, people aren’t rushing toward the Democrats. If you think the DSA stuff is helping, you’ve never talked to a swing voter.
