AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Dems launching investigations of administration corruption has the potential to supercharge this headed into 2028. Voters might forgive some corruption in a successful administration, but they are terribly unforgiving of it in a failed one. Trump is personally raking in billions as millions suffer.

AI is an employee who never says no, never talks back, and who has no emotions, so you're free to be an asshole to it without consequence. Certain men have been fantasizing about this for their whole lives. They will happily burn the world down to create it.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.

Soak @gpc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I think it's simply that a lot of these incumbent Dems are too moderate for the election cycle. There is precisely zero appetite among most of the left for a return to the status quo, even if it has a D next to it's name.

I'm convinced if MGP and/or Kotek lose, it won't be because they failed to win over skeptical Republicans and Independants, it will be because they've lost their base chasing the moderates that were never going to vote for them no matter how far they bend to the right.

It's not a weird district, it's just a very competitive and polarized district, and trying to please everybody (an impossible goal) inherently means no one is pleased.

Soak @gpc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

MGP and Kotek are in danger of losing because they're doing the (incredibly stupid) Biden thing, trying to appear bipartisan to win over the opposition. No matter what they do, the right will see them as crazy leftists. Meanwhile their own voters feel appalled by their lack of conviction and spine.
