I wonder if someone could build a website that asks you some things about you, your family/life/views etc., then gives you a custom rundown of all the ways Project 2025 will make things worse for you in particular.

Kamala should pick Tim Walz just for the curiosity of having the biggest possible apparent age gap of any Presidential ticket composed of two people who are the exact same age.

The only way you can accept the article’s assertion that Democrats are the “party of identity politics” is to believe that “angry white men from Middle America” isn’t an identity weaponized by Republican politicians to a much greater degree.

WaPo woke up and decided it really needed an unsourced "We all know it's because she's Black" story.

i continue to be in the “i don’t give a shit” camp, but i have to admit that the more i learn about walz, the funnier i think it would be for her to choose him

"With all policies on the books as of June 2024, we estimate the US is on track to reduce its GHG emissions by 38-56% below 2005 levels in 2035, representing at least a doubling—and a four-times increase—from the pace of annual emissions abatement from 2005 to 2023." @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social 🔌💡

Disabled people may recall this was literally a Nazi ideology. The Nazis saw the disabled as "useless eaters." And so, apparently, does Trump.

“People aren’t this enthusiastic in a vacuum: Democrats have been enthusiastic about wanting to be enthusiastic for so long, and now they’re finally able to be. The feeling of pure relief cannot be understated as a motivating factor for voters.”

The Harris for President numbers don't liewww.thehandbasket.co Between her historical fundraising haul and rush of volunteers, the math is definitely mathing.

If your poll is 40% RDD, 30% paid online, and 30% carrier pigeon, and those give you very different results for similar demographics, you should worry about modality skew. I would bet money this is happening to most if not all multimodal polls

Want to know why Trump & Vance are floundering in their attacks against Kamala Harris? Their innate sexism is getting in the way of their plan to avoid the issue of abortion, which wasn't even mentioned once at the RNC. New from me in @gilduran.bsky.social and @georgelakoff.bsky.social's FrameLab.

CNN's polling guru Harry Enten just did a segment about how unpopular JD Vance is. Actually said, "In this case, he's dragging Trump down" 😂😂😂 Everyone hates JD - except his billionaire puppetmasters and the Trump buttheads.

Not Going Back is quite good and bumper sticker-y

Goddamn. Just watched Harris’ rally break out into a spontaneous “NOT GOING BACK!” chant followed by Beyoncé’s “Freedom”. Forgot how fun it used to feel to be excited and inspired back at the beginning of the Obama campaign in ‘08. Maybe had feared things were too cynical to get there again.

God this is good. Trump wants to take us backwards, the Supreme Court wants to take us backwards, the Republican Party wants to take us backwards, and the people they want to victimize are saying, with one voice, “No way in hell.” I love this.

Heard a thunderous “not going back” chant at the Harris rally in Milwaukee just now and honestly I think it’s hard to overstate the potency that could have and so meaningful that it’s a chant Biden absolutely could not have put himself behind

Incredible to see how committed these guys are to following a story that isn't there. Dems have rallied around Harris in a way none of us have ever seen. Nearly every prominent Democrat and liberal organization has endorsed her. No remotely serious challenger has stepped up. We gave her $100 million

Until the delegates vote at the Democratic National Convention, Harris’s nomination isn’t guaranteed and delegates are free to rally around another candidate. The Post is tracking what congressional Democrats and Democratic governors have said about selecting a new nominee.
