I really love this chart. I'm guess that the correlation here (.85) is about as big as you would find for any other variable. Also, a less serious scholar than @tesler.bsky.social (namely me) would have made a crude Freudian reference to the slope of the line.
Chart shows a close positive relationship between Trump's 2024 vote and Google searches for testosterone boosters.

Dear Angie Nixon: I completely understand how you feel. When I was a Dem nominee who was not hand selected by the party, I was also given the “we’ll see” line when I asked for party money to help me flip a red seat blue. They moved the goal posts every week, until they ran out the clock.

For the first time in a while, the Kennedy Center was brimming with life. Thousands of supporters gathered Friday, surrounding as much of the building as they could, in protest of President Trump’s takeover and closure of the venue.

ICE is booking into custody 41 times as many noncriminals as in December 2024, while releasing 50% more people with criminal convictions or charges. What could be a better illustration of their priorities than that?

Under Trump, ICE has not stopped releasing immigrants from custody. It has cut releases of noncriminal immigrants, while actually releasing 50% more immigrants convicted of or charged with crimes than in December 2024. Trump's priorities are clear. www.cato.org/blog/ice-rel...

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org
WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January. 

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.
