HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

it's a little funny to see the freakout over the virginia maps when the justification that Texas gave for its new maps - which never went to voters for approval - was "trump won a mandate in 2024 so we need to enshrine that new reality into our maps, sorry Dems, deal with it."
"We simply do not care what you think about that"? This map will literally go to the voters for approval! It cannot take effect unless a majority of Virginians support it. This talking point is so stupid.

The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.

2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning
3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.
They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.
