I know how strong party id is as a predictor of voting, but some of these folks are either going to stay home in November or vote for Democrats because things have gotten so undeniably bad under Trump & Vance. And never leave Vance out of this messaging...his career is being destroyed right now.

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

Iran is probably going to get nukes because of Trump’s failed war, even if they wouldn’t have otherwise. Nobody can trust an American security guarantee or nuclear umbrella anymore. So Saudi is almost definitely going to get nukes after Iran does.

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

All Republicans are complicit with the failures of the Trump administration. They voted to confirm incompetent appointments to key positions. They allowed our diplomatic corps to be gutted. They stayed silent as Trump destroyed the economy. And Republicans supported the debasement of American values

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-

of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-
