Not even the middle of Q1 and we've seen 30+ point swings to the Dems in two state house races, Trump underwater on every issue, facing Prop 187 levels of blowback with Hispanics, Women, and is now underwater with white men and disengaged voters.

We might just get there.

Calling for his arrest? What?!?!
Hawley ended up getting so aggressive toward Ellison, including calling for his arrest, that even Rand Paul asked him to tone it down

#WashingtonBurns by @zepzach889.bsky.social has been one of the most enjoyable commission projects I've gotten to do, and you should check out his page and the timeline he built.

All my supporters on Patreon get early access to my work before it goes live. This month I've got two new maps of fictional states. One from my series on Lost States, and another from @zepzach889.bsky.social's #WashingtonBurns project.

I am reminded of the near-constant incandescent howls of rage from conservatives when Michelle Obama helmed efforts to get healthier food in schools.
Rollins: "School lunches are next. A lot of schools don't even have an oven anymore. When I was growing up, lunch ladies were back there cooking meals on stoves. So how do we completely and fundamentally change the system to go back to where we're serving healthy whole foods to these kiddos?"

We need a remake of the Day After.
Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”

“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

"If only we had some guide as to how Donald Trump would behave if he was president"

- millions of Americans in 2026, apparently
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.

NEW: The next US Census likely won’t be good for New York. The state is projected to lose two congressional seats, and with them, two electoral votes for president.

One reason why blue states are losing ground: The red states build far more housing than they do.
New York Could Lose Seats in Congress Because It Won’t Build Housing
As housing construction booms in red states, blue states are falling behind. That will likely boost Republicans in federal politics.

Thanks CNBC for putting his feet to the fire. Wish more people would do that.
CNBC: What about the horrific conditions in DHS detention centers? Do they need to be looked at?

REP. JASON SMITH: I'm sure those conditions never existed under Biden or Obama

CNBC: I'm sorry, sir. I'm not asking about Biden. I'm asking about conditions right now. I think it's a natl embarrassment

damn you're telling me that sin taxes work to reduce consumption of socially harmful goods while keeping them legal and thus avoiding the problems of criminalization?

This eccentric class of warship was ideally suited to Mars' broad plains and shallow seas. Their overland speed made them ideal for retrofit as mobile TAC ARM bases during the Nibiru War.
