Pro-tip in recognizing right-wing rhetoric: pay attention if someone is using the phrase "what time it is" and they aren't talking about a literal time of the day. It's not the same as the lamenting of the "interesting times" that's from across the spectrum: it's a violent call to action.

Of the 6 special elections coming up on Tuesday:
--2 are Dem districts (OK HD-71 & MA HD-Brist03)
--2 are *deep* red districts (OK HD-74 & FL HD-03)
--2 are pretty red, but potentially flippable based on this year so far:
FL SD-19 (R+17): Vance Ahrens
FL HD-32 (R+20): Juan Hinojasa

Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.

Will also attest this is incredibly real. The under 25s are fundamentally an insane crap shoot and half my pool are "fired for cause" useless lol
Not even work ethic or some tonal issue, just straight up not functionally "adult professional" literate/sentient. It's like trying to train a 6th grader
