The only option is to juice turnout with black voters to presidential year levels. Then there's a chance.

This is a must read that pulls together seemingly disparate trends into a larger picture of the dysfunctions in our society. Liberal Currents continues to do great work.

It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

Dems need to win PA by around 9 points to flip its Senate (~D+11 nationally). In that situation, they likely also take the state legislatures of WI, MI, AZ and NV Gov. Dems would have the votes to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over the line and eliminate the Electoral College.

This is a terrific piece. It's interesting how the same arguments -- we are not responsible, the algorithm does what the algorithm does-- are now being deployed by the AI companies regarding their rogue agents. It's time to bring these companies to heal.

Understand the sentiment but I think the public's turn against ICE and war show something bigger happening: A broad rejection of right wing nationalism in all its guises. I think the impulse to ascribe base/limited motives to voters in this case might obscure the genuine meaning of what's happening.

Curious that the hard tech crowd doesn’t celebrate Ukraine more as it is a concrete example of a successful highly competitive startup ecosystem carrying out what the journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk calls the “first grassroots revolution in military affairs.”

2024 is also the reason why people really need to compare the US to the non-US to understand what's going on. It was clear in elections in that period that voters were simply anti-incumbent, and Trump performed poorly as a challenger. They should have come to the opposite conclusions.

I spent four hours reaching out to disaffected current and former SC republicans asking them if they were voting for @drannieandrews.com for US Senate and every single one said “yes”. Got ten people to agree to publicly endorse her too. Don’t write off South Carolina. 🌊🌊🌊

Trump's move to ban outlets he doesn't like from reporting inside the White House comes amid a wave of bad news less than 2 months before the midterms: *Record diesel prices, $4+ gas, ~7% mortgages, higher interest rates, high fertilizer prices, ~$7 beef. *Terrible polling for Rs, Trump *Etc Etc Etc

Kansas and South Carolina are still likely Republican holds. But a national shift toward Democrats could make them close.

It also would not be possible to uniformly slow down development. Since it's not a serious policy, and these are mostly smart people, we should look for an ulterior motive.

It's obviously impt not to let the AI labs write their own regulation, but I feel like if Exxon researchers HAD spent the 1970s raising the alarm about CO2, some of us here woulda decided ""climate change"" was a monopolistic conspiracy against 3rd-world state-owned oil & working-class automobility
