People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

Why does the President have zero clue about one of the most corrupt pardons he's made so far?

Donald Trump is a crook, whether he knows it or not.

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

"The ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Trump showcased everything that is wrong with US political interviews in general. The deferential tone. The lack of preparation. The failure to ask follow-up questions or dig deep into answers. The inability (unwillingness?) to fact-check in real time."

Multi-Year funding analysis, a 🧵

I have been trying to find a robust way of quantifying and understanding multi-year (forward funding).

First, some background:

Most NIH grants are for multiple years (2 to 5, typically).

However, the are usually funded on an annual basis.

No I hate it but I write the reviews in notes and copy to the site. Tedious.

We’re not brutalizing grandmas in Chicago enough but I just pardoned the guy who helped fund Hamas because Don Jr. put his name on the bribe list.

Have you not learned that there will always be something to "muddy the water" regardless of whether or not there's any validity to it?

fwiw, the core base of anti-Trump pro-democracy opposition during Trump 1 was never particularly doctrinaire. there has always been a steely-eyed pragmatic streak among the people denigrated as corny Resistance folks.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Politically motivated prosecutions violate our Constitution. Looking at the indictment, it is hard to see anything but the weaponizing of the DOJ against a Democratic candidate and peaceful protestors. @katmabu.bsky.social

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 5d

Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 5d

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.
