Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

The media has got to stop coddling these white women who align themselves with fascism, only to cry like they had no idea fascism was happening two seconds later.
Murkowski is not a victim.
She was not cheated.
This is what she voted for. This is what she’ll vote for again and again.

Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the OBBBA to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue recent orders that she said seem designed to quickly quash such projects.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

The GOP’s new bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is a solution in search of a problem. Only U.S. citizens vote, with vanishingly rare exceptions. Even though the problem is fictional, the threat of disenfranchising millions of eligible Americans is very real.

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans
Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."

But it went from being supported by 52 Dems to just 15.
