Putting MacKinnon with McDavid and Celebrini after a PK is just unfair. Also Celebrini is doing this as a freaking teenager.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

This is not the USA. School shootings are not normal nor usual. Alt-right social media influencers jumping to US’s “norms” and using tragedies to advance their agendas with unconfirmed details are either grossly incompetent or nefariously sinister, and are inflicting real damage to our communities.

If you widen that highway
you won’t reduce emissions
or congestion.
What you WILL do
is spend a lot of public money
to induce even more cars
emitting even more GHGs and pollution
in the same or worse congestion
with people still demanding that you widen the highway.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
