My personality is that I know things.
Tennessee 7 is going to come to turnout. In 2024, the Democrat won 122,000+ votes which actually would have been enough to win the 2022 midterm that Green won with 108,000 votes. There are enough Democrat voters if they come out and Rs stay home.

Those green beans and baby carrots look awful. What did she do? Just boil them and plop em in a bowl? Roasting is really the only way to go...some balsamic glaze, maybe some honey with sliced almonds or crushed pecans or garlic and parmesan. Endless possibilities all more flavorful than that....

Airplane! is the superior ZAZ comedy for sure. And I like Waiting for Guffman, but to me Best of Show is the superior Christopher Guest mockumentary, definitely funnier.

If Democrats take back the Senate, it's because of Iowa.

Ah dang. I really enjoyed it and even subscribed. Not my Splinter t-shirt is worn with more irony and nostalgia than intended.

The crazy thing is the Dems gained 41 house seats in 2018 +8.6D with an 241-199R house. Now the house is 219-214. If we gain similar it would be 260. That would be the biggest House majority by either party since 1989.

It would have to be the older one (pre-gerrymander). The candidates have to declare in two weeks.

I think Monica de La Cruz and Tony Gonzales are in trouble now. They might have been anyway but they are +7 R districts for a year that Trump did very well with Hispanic voters. But they have swinged back hard to Democrats.

This is why you don't remove the leverage. MTG and some swing-district Rs were starting to crumble on the ACA subisides. This is why you negotiate from a position of strength. I really think the Dems could have gotten ACA subsidies if they just held on a bit longer.

Republicans should be very concerned about the +18 shift in Passaic County, NJ. Large Hispanic population that narrowly went for Trump in 2024. Those gerrymandered south Texas seats don't look so great anymore. Maybe not S. Florida either.

If Cuomo hadn't run, I could honestly see Brad Lander winning or at least getting closer if you wanted a more Bill de Blasio-type progressive dem but not a democrat-socialist.

As a small business owner, I absolutely feel that all the AI-fication of my regular apps are distracting and get in the way of my productivity. I can barely send an e-mail or an invoice without some AI prompt trying to do it for me.

A lot of rural voters rely on mail and early voting so ironically Trump hurts his own base's voting if he goes after that. Probably only benefits Dems in districts like NC-11, CO-3, UT-3 that have large urban-rural divides. securedemocracyusa.org/new-report-r...

Lol "commit to moving to address" the ACA subsidies. She could just straight up commit to those health subsidies by voting for the Dem plan and open the government in the process.

I have an Argentinian friend that says the same thing. Milei's popularity is cratering and basically the economy is in stagflation. Really Argentina is like a year ahead of the US in pretty much every way.
