Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

President Trump campaigned on bringing down grocery prices day one, but it’s almost Thanksgiving and prices are up. Household budgets are being carved up alongside the Thanksgiving turkey. Families are paying 40% more for tin foil to wrap leftovers, 22% more for cranberry sauce and the list goes on.

To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.
NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

There's a handful of problematic Davidson County Precincts who's EV total is significantly lagging Primary Vote Totals. These precincts are like +99.9 D, but they all voted for "Vincent Dixie" in the Primary. so @aftynbehn.bsky.social needs to get these "Vincent Dixie" voters in like 1.5 weeks.

No EV to EV comparison but the D turnout edge is also visible at the precinct level

Unfortunately very hard to parse details on the votehub site but it looks very similar to how the VA precinct early vote looked

Two full weeks of EV down: 3 days left for Davidson, 2.5 for everyone else

About 55k votes cast so far, 17% of total 2024 votes; up 130.4% from the primary

The bigger counties continue to do best as a % of 2024's total and compared to the primary

The US now has the Thiel-Vance foreign policy, the Steve Witkoff foreign policy, the Jared Kushner foreign policy, the Marco Rubio foreign policy, and once in a blue moon the Donald Trump foreign policy... and Putin and Netanyahu plus Saudi, UAE & Qatar drive most of it.

The absurdity of the 28 point paper gets another twist.

US State Deputy Spokesman Tommy Pigott called the bipartisan group of US Senators, including Republican Senator Mike Rounds, liars.

This US administration has completely lost its plot, if it ever existed. Total chaos.

Davidson had a big day today, about 1500 votes (Montgomery had 1400)

With Davidson as the only county with a full final day of EV, we’ll def have a geographically bluer EV than the primary

But even matching primary comp, Behn would also need a bluer EDay to be competitive

Dem comms strategy is one of the (many) ways I perceive the DNC and Democratic political elites as already seeing the democratic base as being political *subjects* instead of as co-participants in the process of democratic governance (aka *citizens*), making them a distinctly authoritarian party
Its just...there's absolutely no theory of horizontal, participatory politics. The recipients exist to provide funding to pay for campaigns to hopefully allow Democratic candidates to win. That is apparently the *only* way that constituents are understood as able to be part of the process.
