The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

One that I find interesting about the generic ballot discussion is the R number almost always lines up nearly perfectly with Trump's approval number.
The difference with Marist is they pushed undecideds and they almost universally went D. That's going to be the key.

I won’t lie, this is one worry I do have. If he tries this close to the Midterms I could unfortunately see low information voters falling for it.
Anyways I stopped at waffle House for breakfast this morning and all the waitress were talking about a 2k check, and just lmao it's never going to happen.

....Literally if this is where your head goes with the new Marist poll, seek professional help.
And please, keep your fucking negativity to yourself. If you decide to have this kind of attitude, do you I guess.
But keep that shit to yourself! Don't bring others into the pit of misery with you!

So, like....when's the first impeachment vote? 😂
All jokes aside, I'll simply say this: this aligns VERRRYYY closely with Trump's approval numbers. Like, it's almost identical.
I highly doubt the generic ballot gets this high but even at double figures, MANNNYYY seats & states come on the board.

So, here's the thing. I personally think Jaime Harrison was a TERRIBLE Chair of the DNC. Some of that was timing but I think a lot was also just focusing on the wrong things.
THIS however is a fantastic idea & a great use of his strengths & resources.
Kudos to you, Jaime!

Scoop: Jaime Harrison is launching what he calls a 7-figure battle plan to boost Dems in rural areas in 2026 races. His working theory is this cycle will be like 2006, when Dems won in red places. His targets, plus an early ad he has hitting Nancy Mace 👀

Legit considering pinning this one because it's that important. Even I forget this sometimes....
strategists/consultants don't often talk about role of external factors like structural trends, incumbency and economic conditions because they can't control them so can't sell their services off them, but these things determine the vast majority of elections and **analysts** should still pay attn

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
