I'd add that there are lots of Republicans actually taking money from Elon Musk, and they are rarely or never asked about his more radical/racist statements.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

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"

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

You cannot make this stuff up. The GOP’s Dallas midterm convention put Ross Ulbricht—the Silk Road founder convicted on 7 federal counts, including narcotics trafficking and money laundering—on stage. Trump pardoned him in 2025. TWO LIFE SENTENCES. And THIS is who they’re putting on a pedestal?

Note to Democrats: theft of the public's money is what you would call a "kitchen table" issue. If someone broke into my house, took my money, and then gave it to people convicted of crimes, I would not only talk about that at the kitchen table, it would alter the very fabric of my existence.

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
