Fantastic work here showing just how so many are struggling to make ends meet while _AVG_ incomes and wealth keep increasing and _AVG_ inflation has slowed somewhat. Those averages mask the true problems that many families face. See the graphs below in the comments. Scary stuff.

that an unprecedented number of Dems were conflicted about voting the top of the ballot or…..

you can consider the constant bragging of TACO and Musk, and examine what mechanism would cause that to happen.

I have no idea if a technical glitch could cause that to happen, but I am FAR more inclined

Here’s what we know about the 2024 election:

A MASSIVE number of ballots (substantially more than the margin of the election) were undercount DEM ballots in the seven swing states.

Meaning the entire ballot was voted Dem, but the top slot for POTUS was counted as blank.

So why is it that no level of corruption in the Trump administration — no matter how brazen or how high up it goes, from Tom Homan, the White House border czar, to other members of Trump’s Cabinet — seems to ever stick?

You should read the actual Comey indictment. It is shockingly weak — in a manner that makes the true authoritarian intent even more obvious www.vox.com/politics/462...

The charges against Baraka were swiftly dropped, and a federal magistrate judge labeled Baraka’s arrest as a “worrisome misstep” — but the charges against her are still pending and she faces up to 17 years in prison.

Trump’s prosecution of a Democratic lawmaker is a test run for authoritarian rule

Trump’s prosecution of Rep. LaMonica McIver may be the most anti-democratic thing he’s done since January 6.

Trump’s decision to target former FBI Director James Comey reveals that he will turn on people who’ve benefited him in the past the moment he thinks they have raised a hand against him. And he is willing to use the full power of the US government against people who’ve displeased him.

Comey’s indictment is a warning to the Supreme Court justices

Dear John, Brett, and Amy: If Trump can come for James Comey, he can come for you.
