sorry I know we are supposed to hold an endless well of empathy in our hearts for these people but I fucking hate them!!!!!!!!!
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

What student loan forgiveness naysayers can't comprehend is the extent to which millions of people are simply never going to pay back the $60,000 in loans they had to take out at 18 to get a degree that simply does not guarantee the earning power required to manage that much debt.
New all-time high for share of student loans in serious delinquency.

Nice sentiment but this piece doesn't grapple with WHY the world is turning against the US, which is not just Trump himself + MAGA voters, but the fact that basically every elite institution in the country rolled over and allowed him to trample over the rule of law for personal gain.
A post-Trump restoration is still possible ft.trib.al/GX2fiqG

"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Staunch progressives coalition building with center-left liberals who have demonstrated they are willing to compromise and work together is good politics and crucial to us defeating MAGA once and for all.
I'm endorsing Gov. @KathyHochul because she's someone willing to engage in honest dialogue that delivers results.
Along with the movement that powered our campaign, it's how we secured a historic agreement on childcare. And we're just getting started.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
