“An earlier Times analysis suggested that the difference in who turned out did not explain all of Ms. Sherrill’s gains, because those who cast ballots were only slightly more Democratic in terms of party registration than the party’s overall gains.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

Yes, turnout a possible confounder but I found this pretty straightforward, “Overall, the total number of votes cast in predominantly Hispanic townships was eight points lower than in the rest of the state relative to 2024 turnout.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

“All told, nine of the 10 townships that shifted the most toward Democrats from 2024 to 2025 had a Hispanic population of at least 60 percent.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

“Immigration enforcement measures to curry political support are nothing new to US politics or to Latinos in the United States. But history teaches us that the Trump immigration measures will have devastating impacts on the Latino community and that, in the long run, a political price will be paid.”

Not getting any audio. Might be on my side though.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” nymag.com/nymetro/news...

“The messages hint that Mr Epstein or his advisers believed they had inside—and potentially damaging—knowledge of Trump’s far-flung properties and business dealings. Some suggest that Mr. Epstein thought Mr. Trump knew more about his personal conduct than the president has publicly acknowledged.”

Yah, it’s been bouncing around in my head for a while. Thanks for the kind words.

I’m using a bike that adapts the resistance to the individual rider’s estimated max and even 30 seconds feels like a challenging recovery window on 4 seconds of sprinting. 8/12 sounds even more intense!
