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.
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.
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.

Shame on @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and the rest of them for not decisively ending this racist, junior varsity nepo baby when he lost the primary
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.
C'mon Chris... I have enough to worry about. 🥴

Please remember that, as people lose their SNAP benefits, pets are at risk of being abandoned. Please donate to your local food pantry--food for humans AND their animal family members. Of course, monetary donations will help immensely.
A whole lot of abandoned cats and dogs in my little city in Texas.
This is awful.

Republicans scream about voter ID. Fine. So why aren’t Democrats launching a full-blown...nationwide effort to help every eligible voter GET one? If the GOP wants to make IDs the battleground...then Goddamnit...equip people for the fight. This should be a no-brainer.

You know Stephen Miller will have his hands in there. If he hasn't built a sub-alliance yet I'd be shocked.

I rode the 1 train with Linsey Davis on the way to our ABC News interview yesterday, and talked about how in the wealthiest city in the world we can't simply accept that people have to sleep on the streets or the subways.

It's not a question of resources. It's a question of political will.
He forgot to mention how busy he's been. 🤔😒
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

The fact that legacy media is talking about how donald polls in 2028 proves they are no longer credible.

Rather than report on how he's polling, they should be saying it's a delusional fantasy that goes against our Constitution.

But they live in his rectum.

Trump loses some of his power if he's seen as a lame duck. He wants to be a first-term president in his second term so nobody will tune him out. That's the third-term talk in a nutshell.

This is something, a 2026 Montana ballot measure would prevent state-chartered corporations from campaign spending, and would force out-of-state corporations doing business in Montana to abide by the restrictions.
