As you watch MAGAs lose their minds, remember:
1. MAGAs voted unanimously AGAINST banning gerrymandering—Democrats voted unanimously to BAN gerrymandering.
2. MAGAs can stop all this by passing HR 1 to ban gerrymandering. But they won’t. They don’t care about democracy—only raw power.
Hypocrites.

In any other administration, Patel would be out of a job by EOB Monday.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Again, we just cut all of the federal funding for area & foreign language studies at universities across the country to "save" $86 million. What an unbelievably unserious administration.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

it's very difficult to gerrymander or steal your way out of an election where you're getting defeated by 30 and 40 point swings. 1
so that would be a *39 point* overperformance.

The common 🧵 in every single election, from Susan Crawford in Wisconsin to Zohran Mamdani in NYC to Taylor Rehmet in Texas, is that a clear majority of voters don't like evil, hate, incompetence, & far right authoritarianism. The policy details are election-specific, but that's the hummable tune.
Data / quant note: What model or message testing predicted how public opinion would shift 32 points in one year in this Texas seat?
None. No quant data could solely determine the correct message for this, no linear model could based on ad tests or issue polls.

As much of an asshole as Manchin was, he DID vote to confirm pretty much every judge Biden nominated as well as for the American Rescue Plan & Inflation Reduction Act.
And no, a Bernie-style progressive would NOT win statewide in West Virginia. They tried twice in a row & were crushed both times.

Politically the best thing Trump could do for the midterms is not be seen or heard for the next 9 months but unfortunately he is 1) not capable of that and 2) doesn't really care about other people's elections. He's just gonna keep smashing the button that kicks every Republican in the balls

"Since Trump returned to the White House, Democrats have picked up eight Republican-controlled districts through special elections, as well as 18 seats in New Jersey and Virginia during those states’ regularly scheduled contests last November. Republicans have flipped none."
The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.
Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.
