This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative.
Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

I just want to stress that this has nothing to do with the rest of the chapter. She has an epigraph, a bizarre intro paragraph, a description of Britney Spears dancing in 2002 and then a section about Donald Trump promoting birtherism.

not to try to have a nuanced political take on a microblogging website but my issue with "yimby" is that despite agreeing with many tenets i think a myopic focus on housing supply can lead to unprincipled or reactionary positions however if you think yimby is worse than nimby you're dumber than dirt
Making sure developers don’t make a dime is more important than building homes for people

The Oregonians interviewed a guy who Republicans have accused of running an “Antifa safe house.” The levels of MAGA derangement about Portland are truly off the charts.

imagine spending millions and millions and millions of other people's money, staying in an election you were already bounced from, because you really really desperately want to be mayor, so that you can get torn apart on live tv like this
In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

if his attitude from the jump has been "I did this as a kid and have been ashamed of it since, it was a terrible mistake" I don't think I'd mind. but he's just not being honest here and that's suspicious as hell.

Im out. Fuck I might be out of electoral politics as a whole. Ive always had a stubborn electoralist streak but im fucking out. I'm done.
we're not talking about a generic skull and crossbones tattoo here - Graham Platner's tattoo appears to be a straight-up 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf.

WOKE 2 SO CLOSE I CAN SMELL IT
A Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts seen by CNN. https://cnn.it/47sXon6
‘I got older and became a communist': Deleted posts show Maine Senate hopeful's raw views on politics, war, and police | CNN Politics
Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer, now disavows posts he made years ago, saying they came from a time when he felt disillusioned and angry and expressed those emotions online.
