They only trust the news that reports the things they want to hear.

I think there’s others that think the things he does for the country are good. And they take the good with the bad. Like lowering taxes (even though mostly the rich benefitted from that). Or whatever the fuck DOGE claimed to do. Or brain worm measles you.

I usually quit after 12Nth times.

“Let me just say stranger things have happened, okay? I’ll leave it at that,” Trump said.

I’d love to hear some specifics. I doesn’t feel like things have ever been this crazy.

Not everywhere. He’ll have the data to show which voting places have the largest surge of democrats. He’ll seen his army to those places.

Claiming voter fraud after the vote is much different than preventing voters from getting to the voting booth or casting their vote. That’s what I’m concerned about.

The skeptic in me says Trump and his personal army will use the data from these primaries to focus their attention in November.

Just like how in 2020 he used the data to show that Democrats used mail-in voting much more than Republicans. So he promptly put in a postmaster general who started dismantling mail sorting machines to slow down the mail.

Yeah, true. But that matters which senate seats are up for reelection. Hopefully this lead will translate into upsets.

Results of a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday showed that 42% of registered voters would vote for a Democratic congressional candidate at present, compared to 37% for a Republican.

Considering how gerrymandered the country is, I’m not sure this is a big enough lead.

“The government thus asks to absolve these Defendants of crimes against the United States itself,” Mehta wrote. “In this court’s view, that is not in the public interest.”

When you put it that way, pardoning these people almost sounds treasonous.

Well, we live in a 2-party country. “Social Democrat” will have to be a subset of the Democratic Party the same way “Libertarian” is a subset of the Republican Party.

You might be able to have a 3rd party in down ballot races. But not for president.

Personally, I think the move is to slowly fill the ranks with people like Mamdani and AOC among others. The only reason we have those people is cause Bernie ran a great campaign inspired people. Hopefully this trend continues.

Are people actually saying she couldn’t get elected cause she’s a “progressive woman”? Seems like age an experience would be the obvious reasons people would say she can’t win.

I love AOC, and hope she runs and would root for her every step of the way. But I would be shocked if she won the nomination simply because House of Representatives is her only real achievement. Seems more likely she would run for Senate before running for president.

I always assumed there was a rule, but it looks like very few states actually have rules. KY being one of those states.

I know the rules around interim senators is different for all states. I assume any appointment would be a republican. A special election might benefit dems, i just don’t believe KY is really moving left. They traditionally elect a democrat governor, but are hard R for all national elections.

For KY, it’s probably better to leave his seat empty as long as possible.

It is the second letter Beshear has sent McConnell demanding more transparency about his health.

Also, what happens in 3 days?

Don’t take it personal. He wants to ruin all voting, this is just the one thing he can’t use his personal army to ruin. So he needs help from the courts.

You have the preemptive /s, but no preemptive TLDW? I’m 2 minutes in and still have no idea what the point is.

And to justify all of this, they used lies about immigrants committing violent crimes and said they were only going to go after the criminals.

I wonder how many criminals they’ve deported as part of this.

He’s probably talking about it cause it’s not gonna happen.

Democrats need to learn from this. Quit being safe.
