New Gallup figures in these charts. Well, so much for that emerging Republican majority people were writing about in November 2024. Was evidently a mass overreaction to Trump's win and failure to acknowledge softness of support, and thermostatic politics www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

You mean like Joe Biden?
I really don't see a scenario where the Democrats don't absolutely crush the 2026 midterms and win the Presidency and both houses of Congress in 2028.

BUT - and this is crucial - if they want to KEEP the Presidency in 2032, then their 2028 nominee needs to be a progressive who'll get shit done.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

I will keep saying this.

If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund.

If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them.

LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar.

Fire them.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:

they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Grim called me “insane” for saying Democrats shouldn’t recruit candidates with Nazi tattoos and now that I see who he takes seriously, that take makes a lot of sense
Ryan Grim: I think the posse will find a lot useful there.

Steve Bannon: You’re an intrepid reporter, sir, and a voice of truth. Sometimes people love it and sometimes people love it less, but you’re you’re a warrior.

Grim: No doubt about it.

Bannon: Let's welcome on Raw Egg Nationalist!

Teacher: and then Hitler and the Nazis were able to seize power away from the Weimar Republic

Student: man, the Weimar government sucked

Teacher: well some scholars do say their failures opened a door for Hitler, but--

Student: feckless Weimar, they're the real bad guys, I'm glad they lost

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive.” They’re hate symbols — and they don’t belong anywhere near our military.

The Coast Guard deserves better.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support

If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost

I've been thinking about this:

Somebody spent a lot of money to make Graham Platner happen. It's weird that someone would invest so much money in him without doing the most basic oppo research, isn't it? Unless they never actually meant for him to win.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

During the campaign she was criticized for focusing so heavily on preventing fascism instead of on "kitchen table issues."

Now that Dems are literally focusing on kitchen table issues (ie, healthcare/inflation etc), they're being criticized for "not focusing on preventing fascism."

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.
