vance and co are not going to be happy when they realize they've ended up at a position ("your eyes are lying to you!") that takes more effort to embrace than refute. they need a simple, compact narrative. their people do not have the cognitive bandwidth to add any extra layers to "immigrants bad!"
Vance: "Dems decided they didn't want to talk about fraud from Somalians, they wanted to talk about the 'brutality of immigration enforcement.' 2hat you've seen is a viral effort to try to inflate what's actually going on, to overstate wrongs that have been committed. They're trying to distract."

I feel like a crazy person, a delusional conspiracy theorist, just for putting this idea out in the world, but: I've seen enough different things like this that I'm reasonably certain members of the Trump Administration are placing bets in prediction markets on their own actions before they do them.
The head of Trump DOJ's Civil Rights Division boosts prediction markets placing 36% odds she'll be able to prosecute Don Lemon for his journalism, after a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause of a crime.

clearly this is a difficult topic for some people, so it deserves this disclaimer: naturalized citizens from illiberal countries did not win the 2024 election for trump. rather, trump successfully used LGBT wedge issues to motivate non-college-educated social conservatives, including non-white ones

is it any wonder an anti-trans scapegoating campaign strategy was effective among unlikely, low-information voters who harbor regressive cultural views about diversity and sexuality?

awww and did he think of all that himself?
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

There probably isn’t going to be some grand declaration, or 19th century style ranks and trenches. We’re just going to keep asking “is this a civil war yet?” because for most people in most if the country it won’t feel like one day to day. We’ll just sort of slip into one with no bright lines.
How close is this to a real version of civil war at this point? Blanche is the second most powerful person in the United States Justice Department and he's shitposting on social media threatening a governor and mayor with terrorism charges.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche calls what is happening in Minneapolis an “insurrection” and threatens to go after Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over their “terrorism.”

Took a close 2nd in this game, @rebell.bsky.social won with 0 cards left in her library (it was two standard second smooshed together, so it wasn't a normal size), and @semiopath.bsky.social played a sweet rule 0 deck owned by the 4th player. Wowzer is a very funny commander. 🧙♂️😂❤️
The fate of standard decks that can’t convert is becoming a commander deck on day 2 (I won with 0 cards left in library)
