Pro-tip in recognizing right-wing rhetoric: pay attention if someone is using the phrase "what time it is" and they aren't talking about a literal time of the day. It's not the same as the lamenting of the "interesting times" that's from across the spectrum: it's a violent call to action.

FL HD-32 (R+20): Juan Hinojasa

A children's illustration on a T-shirt. A kitten wearing pink kisses a kitten wearing blue. They are wearing railroad caps and overalls. Text above their heads and written on a toy train in front of them says, "I hope our names are next to each other on the Autism watchlist."

Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.
