Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Trump aggressively distanced himself from Project 2025 when asked, yet it's been the blueprint to most of what's helmed since since his second inauguration. What a campaign focuses on and what its administration does after victory can (and should) be different things. Sad Biden never understood this

Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

One would think AI companies' internal ethicists and guardrails folk would be best positioned to touch grass in order to evaluate big picture, so with their ongoing departures one must wonder if the problem is them failing at maintaining guardrails, or failing to touch grass
