"resistance" and "fight or fold" is high salience voter shit. it's useful in intraparty squabbles but i sincerely doubt it will be top of mind in 2027/8 - in some senses i don't even think it's top of mind *right now*. it seems to be a proxy for either <insert voter's pet concern> or ideology

i'm not sure why people are taking him at face value here

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I've stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an "aura" around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks - Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to "ace" this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am "slowing up," am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am "slowing up," but it's not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it's seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful "source" of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 908 ReTruths 3.07k Likes Dec 09, 2025, 9:11 PM

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

i remain thinking that the MN primary is probably somewhat more competitive than MI.

which is saying something, because MN is looking less competitive by the day

not that you needed the reminder, but these google AI summaries are so fucking bad that, when i tried to remember how raja krishnamoorthi voted on the laken riley act, it gave me two different answers based on how bad my spelling was

(he voted against it, but he still fucking sucks)

Georgia State House 121 Special -- UPDATE

- 🔵 ☑️ Eric Gisler (D) - 5,873 (50.9%)
- 🔴 Mack "Dutch" Guest IV (R) - 5,676 (49.1%)

We can project that, in an upset, Eric Gisler has flipped Georgia's 121st State House District.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Democrats need to gain 11 seats in GA to flip the House.

HD-121 was #15 on my list of 21 targets.

Gisler flipped the Georgia HD 121 (2024 R+22).

i'd honestly say at this point Democrats are clearly favored to sweep Georgia's statewide offices

Keisha Bottoms is not nearly bad enough a candidate to make them lose

the Republican party is not behaving like they don't think they can lose the midterms and I'd argue they never were, we're just seeing a divide between the ball knowers, Trump roughly among them, and the abjectly deranged who thought Woke was dead.

Democrats have now flipped Miami mayor (first time a Democrat has won it since 1998) and a Trump +12 Georgia state House district

Democrats have outperformed Harris’ 2024 margin by double digits in 4/4 races so far tonight, with an avg. overperformance of 17.5 points

Buckle up.
