14% swing from 2024 when all is said and done? Pretty good considering just how high-profile the race became in the last week

Turnout is currently *93%* of 2022, and it's also a 14% swing from 2022 despite similar turnout levels

Also worrying that the overperformances are growing at a correlated rate as Trumps dropping approval
Looks like TN-07 will end up around R+8, or a 13-point shift toward the Democrats from 2024.

What should worry Rs is that this one is hard to dismiss as a special election. It ended up nationalized, and turnout will be ~95% of 2022. It looked like a midterm general electorate.

I think there's a really important reason Trump hasn't fired anyone yet (despite people like Kash making him look like an idiot), and it's because his team knows they can't get chosen replacements through the senate anymore.

So yeah, putting him in a situation where someone actually has to be axed? Big deal. Probably the beginning of the end.

I'm still *somewhat* confident that the balkanized US media landscape combined with Trump's personality cult mean we probably won't truly see the bottom get knocked out, but this is wild. Like this is 'not even the most insane gerrymanders imaginable will save your asses in the midterms' shit.

Part of this is that it doesn't take a weatherman to tell you what way the wind's blowing, and part of this is that a big chunk of the rich folks on the right are starting to realize that a complete Trump flameout could truly bring about Woke 2: The Wokening.
Interesting that Politico is running a ton of "Trump and MAGA in trouble" pieces all of a sudden. 🤔

Get the distinct feeling a massive intelligence failure is brewing.
Per NBC News, the suspect in the National Guard shooting is Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who last lived in Washington State.

He is 29.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

While at the same time attempting to ramp up said legal warfare. It's the fundamental "there are four people running the government and they're all insane rabid racoons fighting in an overcoat" problem where you can't blow up state capacity and then try and use the state to go after people!

Something that I would note is that the Trump administration is doing something really self sabotaging right now, in that it's removed the professionalism and actual bodies necessary to pursue large scale legal warfare against their foes (Lindsey Halligan and Aline Habba? Really?)

The single biggest problem of the Trump administration is that an authoritarian government REQUIRES MORE PEOPLE, NOT LESS.

You can't fire 12% of workforce and then go "Huh, lets use the state to crush all dissent! Brilliant!"

I am once again on record as a plane that thinks Schumer should not be majority leader and probably should resign as defending him from Bluesky insanity.

Morris' analysis on polling out today is very good imho. Tracking polls vs. themselves and the overarching change in the environment is the real way you should read polling (with the caveat that polling is not predictive and should not be treated as such)

a director's job is not only to create their own ideas, but also to manage the ideas of every team member around them! it's called the collaborative process of making a work of art as a team! always remember that.
Just because I'm the writer/director of TADC doesn't mean I deserve all the credit for everything. There MANY times when a board artist or an animator will come up with a detail or shot that elevate the themes/characterization in a way I didn't even think of, and I'm like "fuuuuuck that's genius..."

Alright back to the gaming realm of things

I'm disgusted with what shayy did and I never want them to ever come back to any again. I thought they were cool but they just had to go and do deplorable stuff...

My heart goes out to their victims
