On MSNBC Hakeem Jeffries just did House version of this. Apply the 16 point Dem overperformance in FL-06 across the board & thats 60 seats.
No, I’m not saying this translates to the presidential election 43 months from now.
But, in the Florida races the Dems did 15 & 22 points better than Harris. This is what a 19 point swing for the Dem would look like in 2028

We really seem to be amid a dramatic leap in advancement for treating, preventing, even curing a host of wretched illnesses and it's at this moment we're letting the most addled, pro-disease psychos in the country set the medical research field on fire.

This happened last time. My guess is ICE is being given quotas, & instead of spending time finding people who are dangerous they’re finding the easiest (& often least threatening) people to hit their numbers.

On substance there’s not a big difference between Bernie or Warren or Jayapal or AOC, and the most conservative 10% of the Dem caucuses. Different emphases, but not much on goals & not a lot on policies to reach those goals.

Most people saying the Democratic Party needs to move left are not talking about policy, they’re usually reacting to tactics.
Dem Party has moved well left since 2009 (as has the country on most policies). I mean, were it not for Manchin parents would be getting a check every month…

BTW, Tubberville was holding up hundreds of promotions by demanding they be voted on individually instead of the customary mass promotions w a single vote. It didn’t stop the Senate from conducting other business. It’s not some silver bullet that Democrats are refusing to use.

I struggle to express just how *weird* Vance’s #MSC2025 speech was. This is a transatlantic security conference, happening while there is a war in Europe, and the US is announcing a partial withdrawal from European security. And the US VP speaks about (alleged) threats to free speech in Europe??

There is no general crisis of masculinity. Rather, there's a particular, contingent, and not universally shared culture that claims to represent masculinity broadly, but never did, and now clearly fails to bring success or satisfaction in the modern world, and its adherents are handling that poorly.

It’s hare brained, authoritarian, & based on truly stupid ideas, & being executed haphazardly, but Musk has a plan. But Trump is a senile narcissist & much of what comes out of his mouth is spontaneous. The people putting papers in front of him have multiple agendas, & many are incompatible w Musk’s
A number of center-left pundits—including some whose work I generally respect—have been doing this thing where they try to assess individual Trump/Musk moves in isolation instead of as part of a program. This is supposed to add nuance, but it comes off as a lobotomized way to approach policy.

I doubt Trump knew about the existence of this agency until a day or two ago. He’s signing whatever is being put in front of him by the Project 2025 zealots. Much of it he agrees with. Some he doesn’t care about. He understands almost none of it. And he’ll turn on those behind what’s unpopular
It is extremely ominous that this is a priority for him in his first week.
Trump White House told the three Democratic-selected members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to resign by tomorrow or be fired. Ousting them would paralyze the independent, bipartisan watchdog agency.
