Spanberger had votes that cut both ways. She had one of the most centrist voting records of anyone in Congress, including by breaking with Dems and voting for GOP immigration legislation with titles like the "Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act"
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

Working in actual nonprofits radicalized me to giving cash (and supporting overhead costs)
There’s a flood of (well meaning!) influencers doing splashy shopping trips for pantries and I recall what an abortion provider said: orgs need money, but donors give only what they want to, not necessarily what’s needed. Hence the offers for a couch to crash on post-abortion and not $ for a hotel.
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Finally got to write about this obsession. Elon pushed people to stop linking the articles they were talking about. He's started to roll that back, but we were left with a culture of people yelling at screenshots of headlines on monetized accounts

this is a film franchise where the first time they switched actors, George Lazenby looked into the camera and said "this never happened to the other fella"
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Everybody agrees now that "affordability" is the key political issue of our time.
But what does this mean when inflation-adjusted wages and household income are higher than ever?
Trump enters the same pain cave that bedeviled Biden.

“Affordability” is just high nominal prices
I think Trump is totally screwed on this one

just my experience but it seems like the vibe here is that *if* you nebulously think crime is bad and public policy needs to be tough on crime then you are a Nazi
Every time Trump wins we get a round of takes that this is because American are all Nazis deep down but all the evidence is that Americans are morons who think “crime” is out of control and we just need to take down all the criminals, but don’t want it done to their neighbors.
I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.”
The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.
