Trump has made America a place people are afraid of. A place people don’t like. A place that’s cruel. So people aren’t coming here. Even for vacation. Well done MAGA.

I really shouldn't even start looking at data like this. But it's fascinating. Here's a high-elevation SNOTEL site in the Front Range where limited snowpack has led to shallow soil temps plummeting in recent days, which didn't happen in previous years with more snow by now.

“Other polls say the opposite…”
“Which one?”
“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”
“How exactly?”
“Uh … which poll was that again?”
This is how it’s done.
It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

The fight for democracy is the battle of our generation. As SCOTUS said over 60 years ago, “the right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights.” Let us all ensure we uphold that.
