Pugs. All other dogs. Cats. Photography. Way too much politics. Or is it too many?

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

We must keep the spot light on Project 2025. It is the best weapon we have to save what's left of democracy. It is the final nail in GOP Nationalists coffin. Let nothing distract from what Project 2025 agenda for America is. Everyone especially those that don't vote need to learn about Project 2025.

According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies—an eminently respectable, bipartisan think tank—right-wing political violence accounted for more than 90 percent of all attacks or plots in the first half of 2020, far outpacing terrorism from any other source since 1990.

Trump's Project 2025 is weighing like an anchor around his campaign and he's pulling out all his tricks to try to buck his association with it. Amazingly, it turns out voters care more about a candidate promising "I am planning to ruin your life" than an old guy mumbling a little?

Trump's efforts to run from Project 2025 are blowing up in his face: *CNN reports 140 former Trump officials are involved *New video shows Trump praised its creators in 2022 On the pod, we go deep into the threat Project 2025 poses, with Amanda Becker of The 19th: newrepublic.com/article/1837...

US equity market had massive "atoms over bits" vibes today. NVDA down over 5% but homebuilders rose over 7%, third-best day since at least 2003 for equally-weighted S&P 500 stocks relative to market-cap weighted S&P 500 stocks, small caps soared while Tesla dropped 8%.

It's impossible for it to get the oxygen it needs right now, but AOC introducing articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito is a great story. She's the best messenger to explain why Supreme Court corruption impacts the lives of everyday Americans. www.salon.com/2024/07/12/a...

Seems worth noting that the Republican platform makes a big deal out of fighting crime and inflation, both of which have been plummeting

I’m not sure what the surefire way to win the election is but I am fairly certain a sure way to lose is to spend the next 4 months with Democrats talking about how much their candidate sucks and how we’re doomed

Yes there is. It's time to stop letting someone else dictate the where the battle is fought.

Hey, Media: Biden’s poor debate performance had almost no impact on voter preference.

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate." news.northeastern.edu/2024/07/09/b...

As I noted in this piece, if the Democrats lose the 2024 election, the most likely "correction" they'll make will be to lurch hard to the center-right. kevinmkruse.substack.com/p/not-voting

Just saw someone post that they want Biden to lose by a landslide in order to force the Democratic Party to change What year is it? Because I've seen this same argument against Clinton in 2016 and Gore in 2000 A huge loss WOULD change the party, but probably not in good ways

I disagree, and I spent 15 years as a full time caregiver for 2 individuals, in their 70s, 80s and 90s. You speak for you and I speak for myself. Biden was ill, overtired, and the moderators failed, as he was Gish Galloped.

This is journalistic malpractice. The Biden admin was working on Parkinson's policy.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.
