I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.
on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4
The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

I ordered the new book by @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and bookshop.org has it listed as backordered. I hope this means it's selling really well. We all need a little hope right now and DBB is someone I trust for that.

Imagine being a 3 or 4 star general who has spent the last 30 or 40 years studying just war theory, combat techniques, and ethics and having to sit through this morally corrupt, high school football coach pep talk about war based entirely on what he saw in a Rambo movie. Just embarrassing.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Trump on DC: "Sadly, what I guess the mayor did, but whoever it was, they asked the numbers to be fudged so they would show less crime. The fact is, it's worse than it has ever been."

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

This is the best take I've seen on the whole Biden health "cover up". It was pure hubris and that's it. He thought too much of himself to see the reality of his age. (This is maybe true of his entire career)
Here's my set of takes on Biden and his age and ability to do the job.
1) The decision to seek reelection was very obviously the wrong one, and indeed I'd say catastrophically so. *At the time* it may have been defensible but with the benefit of hindsight, it was a terrible mistake.

This is about a million times smarter than trying to find a progressive Rogan. And it would cost them less in the long run.
Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:
Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."
We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.
One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

DARVO brain at work again.
Trump’s regime is once again blaming Ukraine. Trump promised to end the war within 24 hours but failed, as Putin simply refused. Perhaps you shouldn't have caved to Putin so early in the negotiations. Weak and incompetent, surrounded by loyalists who only praise an unfit leader
