I'd definitely bookmark this for the 2026 midterms

Interesting analysis of Trump's approval by 'county type' and how those counties voted in 2024. From the American Communities Project, using data from Strength In Numbers https://t.co/dmhzgTmPaf
Richard Haass just made a remarkable argument on CNN:
That America now has worse relations with Canada than China because the U.S. has spent years attacking allies with tariffs and political fights instead of building a united front against Beijing.
And honestly, that gets to the heart of one of the biggest foreign policy debates happening right now:
America’s greatest strategic advantage was never just military power.
It was the alliance network.
Dozens of countries aligned economically, militarily, and diplomatically around U.S. leadership.
The argument Haass is making is that Washington has started weakening that advantage itself.
He is correct.
Some advocates are hopeful America’s moment of extreme gerrymandering could trigger an equally bold wave of reform.

“Xi Jinping has been beating the crap out of us in the information warfare space.”
“That’s our fault.”
“We’re just not fighting it.”
“Xi Jinping has been able to use, for instance, TikTok.”
“Trump has gotta figure it out fast because this is a very bad situation for us.”

As we commemorate #MemorialDay, we remember those who served our country. Public opinion data can offer insights into how Americans have viewed military service, veterans, and national security over time. https://t.co/Cs3ropeHdG
A small but emerging group of lawmakers and election reformers are hoping Americans will grow so infuriated by the whole mess of gerrymandering that an opportunity for major change will spring up, @russellberman reports. https://t.co/einxAziGJ2
“MAGA isn’t collapsing, and the base remains devoted, but it is shrinking. Trump’s sinking numbers may not matter as much to him, because he won’t face voters again, but they matter a great deal to other Republican officeholders” https://t.co/x1t8kHczb8
One of what will be many many examples of how easily Trump’s move to funnel taxpayer money to J6 rioters will fold into the core Democratic message for 2026
