It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”

this is the story of the midterms I am not sure I have ever seen a more demoralized republican electorate, and the more irregular trump voters we can get to disconnect from the political system entirely the better

If you convince an R-voter to vote D instead, that’s two points. If you convince a non-voter to vote D, that’s one point. If you convince an R-voter to not vote, that’s one point. All those points count.

Trump is just 100% incoherent these days, and desperate to tell anyone who will listen that he is super-smart and definitely doesn't have dementia.

Honestly, I think this is a clearer cut win than a presidential bid and long-term, if she can keep polling well, would be the kind of thing that sees her in the oval office before 2040.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Journalists at CNN, MS NOW and Politico failed to maintain “standards of professionalism,” according to lawyers working for President Trump, who recently told a female reporter, “Quiet, piggy.”

The Trump administration accused media outlets CNN, MS NOW and Politico of publishing sensitive or classified information and failing to maintain "standards of professionalism" in a court filing Tuesday, days after President Donald Trump said the news organizations would be banned from White House grounds.

It's worse than ignorance, it's likely sociopathy. If you honestly believe that politics don't impact you, the most rational (if unempathetic) act would be to not bother to vote. But I'll bet he voted Trump three times over. Why? To impact OTHER people, negatively.

I don’t actually know any cis women who would feel uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman, it’s always men complaining. Now these cis men are uncomfortable with a trans woman in their own restroom. Anecdotally, I am inclined to conclude that cis men are uncomfortable with restrooms 🤷
