There's always reason to be skeptical of polls. But when the party in power's economic actions are polling THIS badly it is far less likely they're going to miss.

Having yourself outed as Bi in a House ethics complaint that alleges hush money payments to former staffers after years of railing against LGBT rights is just chef's kiss.

No but there are a lot of independents who might go either way. And oh look they're like 80/20 on a sports ban:

People need to get off this website and go talk to Ds in Texas. Most Ds in Texas are with Talarico on this one. There's polling on it. Pluralities of Ds and Biden voters in 2024 were in favor of a trans sports ban Call it a betrayal, but I'd rather have Sen Talarico than Sen Paxton on trans issues.

Look I'm not saying Bibi is a moron, but he's successfully alienated Americans to the point where they have similar views of his country as they do to Putin's Russia.

What's hilarious is that I don't even get to know where my package is. I know it was in Kentucky yesterday, but it has apparently gone in and out of several warehouses since then and Amazon wont even say where they are.

Does Vance know how Long proposed to pay for his populist program to make "every man a king?" Through vast redistribution of wealth and heavy corporate taxes. He hated the New Deal because it was too conservative.

I especially like the NYT "may have shown the democratic socialist wave cannot reach beyond urban centers" when El-Sayed won literally a week ago and the state map looked like this (per....the NYT):

This chart makes no sense lol. The line is showing 1m Rial at below 40 cents on the dollar but the label says its at 53 cents. Dont even get me started on the truncated y axis. And I guess we should expect this, but it's a lie, 1m Rial is at 73 cents today:

GAO sampled 21 contracts "terminated" by DOGE and could only substantiate about 10 percent of the claimed savings. This is government auditor speak for "you just made all this shit up."

Last time I checked, Pete Hegseth had the authority to determine what information should be classified and what could be released. I know because he told me. media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/12/...

Obviously this is bullshit and Musk was just permanently sent off the deep end when his kid came out as trans. But, assuming he truly feels this way, maybe he is also skeptical of Hegseth's push to mandate testosterone injections for Service Members?

Democrats need to be thinking about what happens when Trump loses the midterms by a historic margin, but then instructs Mike Johnson and John Thune not to seat new Reps + Senators, claiming fraud. Impeachment isn't going to happen, so Dems need to game out how to remove him for his abuses of power

I'm actually more interested in this Rasputin-y figure that seems to be following Rubio around everywhere. Probably security? But who knows!
