And the data shows for many of these exurban counties, that shift has been fairly large especially compared to urban counties like Bexar (San Antonio). Trump won TX by 14 pts. With this turnout differential, the gap to close is much smaller.
The Texas early voting data is fascinating - turnout in the counties strongest for Trump is terrible vs the same point in 2024. Dems are going to be reliant on how much Montgomery (Houston exurbs), Collin (Dallas exurb), and Tarrant (Ft Worth) swing
It really is amazing - and telling - that Susan Collins was caught in a massive bribery scandal and no one in establishment media cares.
They investigated every five minute block of Graham Platner's life. But they won't touch Susan Collins, who gave away tens of millions of dollars of our money to people who donated to her and her Super Pac. That's a direct robbery of the American people. The FBI has all the evidence. And the media won't report on it!
Mainstream media loves bribery - and actively tries to cover it up so no one finds out about it. Why? Because they are the top beneficiary of this corruption. Almost all the money politicians get through these bribes goes in to ... ads on mainstream media.
The national media makes billions from this system of corruption, so their main job is not to inform you, it's to do the exact opposite. Their job is to make sure you remain blind to what's making everyone in Washignton rich - at our expense.
angie nixon in fl is in the margin of error against a desantis appointed unpopular republican w a corruption scandal and there is not enough attention on her race and she’s not getting the resources she needs. she’s a fighter. she’s empathetic. please redirect resources to her.
when the NYT quoted Anzalone lavishing praise on @RahmEmanuel, it mighta been helpful for the NYT to disclose to readers that Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm a lot of money

Janet Mills not endorsing Troy Jackson and Jasmine Crockett deliberately undermining James Talarico should be national scandals with the leadership of the party in an uproar.
If you are unironically suggesting Rashida Tlaib or even Oliver Larkin(?) over AOC for 2028 rn you’re not only unserious, you’re actively aiding the establishment Democrats who will pounce on our half-stepping to create consensus around yet another meager Neoliberal candidacy tbh
@petersterne While I got Peter Sterne's quote tweets: if you are in Chicago and want to elect socialists, please sign up for a canvass shift! https://t.co/zajGzvRkoN
This is very good. Perhaps the best statement I’ve seen on AI from any Democratic politician over the last few months.
— Populist (tapping into widespread and bipartisan anger at tech leaders and billionaires) without shamelessly pandering
— Articulates how if this AI hyperscaling house of cards that’s propping up our very fragile economy all comes crashing down, it could materially impact everyday Americans’ finances/retirement planning (instead of dealing in abstractions)
— Highlights the high stakes without claiming AI is gonna kill us all
— Includes a call to action re: no bailouts for tech companies, including by reminding people about what happened in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 financial crisis
Just gotta figure out how to condense it, but a lot of good stuff to work with here.
Tbh we're giving the "Socialism Conference" way too much thought and discourse. Very few of these panelists are committed to anything besides their academic careers, much less socialism.
it sounds unbelievably stupid but i have become this media cycle’s “trans athletes” or “migrant caravan.” wild how much supposedly liberal outlets let fox news play the role of news desk editor.
odd how none of these outlets will have me on to interrogate my beliefs directly
