I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went
This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers
2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon
But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof
Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

Yet again @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, you're giving Trump free air time, for something as non-"breaking news" as a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Please learn from your mistakes.

I was flabbergasted by an immigrant coworker who, responding to my assertion that Trump will seek to go after critics and political enemies, asked "but I thought Trump announced freedom speech?" Now slowly peeling the layers of disinfo that this friend and his family have absorbed.

As if awakening from a dream, I remembered where The Bulwark came from, and was reminded that the enemy of my enemy is not (necessarily) my friend.
Democrats should spend exactly zero political capital stopping any Trump deportation efforts.
It is madness to spend capital trying to help people who are no longer a major part of your electoral coalition.

The thing is much of what they offered IS good. Obviously if you believe hosts like Hayes and Maddow are just "corporate media" without real investigative and analytical value, this won't connect with you -- but I think those voices are essential, and I haven't yet found a replacement in ind media.
MSNBC and CNN ratings are down 50% since the election. I believe when many of those people tune back in, it will be to independent media and Bluesky, not going back to the same old crap
