They absolutely voted for this and are getting exactly what they voted for.

I wish they had the courage and integrity to actually admit that.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

She did that with a way smaller campaign budget, less time campaigning, AND WITH MOSTLY JUST THE BLACK VOTE.

I swear to goodness them folks didn't think this through.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Pro-Trump WSJ admits MAGA economy is 'lousy' President Donald Trump’s economy is “lousy” and could be improved if he removes his tariffs, a newspaper that normally supports Trump wrote on Friday. “There’s no denying the February report was lousy,” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board wrote on Friday. “The U.S. shed 92,000 jobs and revised down gains for January and December by a combined 69,000. The question is what to make of the declines.” After arguing that the jobs report is not related to Trump’s invasion of Iran, the Journal nevertheless predicted “a temporary price surge” in oil as the Iran regime tries to “cause enough political pain in the Gulf and the U.S. that Mr. Trump and Israel stop the bombing.” Yet they urged the public to not waver in backing the Iran war even as that happens. “But that is all the more reason not to panic at a temporary price surge and press ahead to remove Iran’s missile and drone stockpiles and assembly lines and the regime’s brutal enforcers,” the Journal argued. They then added, practically as an afterthought, “Oh, and if Mr. Trump wants a tax-cut boost for the economy while the war continues, he could call off his new 15% universal tariff. Consider it our contribution to easing everyone’s economic anxiety.” Economist Catherine Rampell, speaking with the conservative publication The Bulwark, argued on Friday that Trump’s anti-immigrant policies are contributing to the ongoing economic malaise. “So, we had been hearing for years from Trump and his allies that if you pulled immigrants out of the economy, then you would have a lot more job openings for native-born Americans, that immigrants were stealing all of the jobs that should have gone to, you know, red-blooded Americans,” Rampell said. “And therefore, if you just yanked them out of the labor force and out of the country, that would create an abundance of riches in terms of job opportunities for native-born Americans.” She added, “Is it that we should have expected more job growth for native born Americans? Or is it … we should have expected less job growth overall? So, you know, they kind of want it both ways. And either way, they're just trying to cope with the fact that the numbers are not great… [Y]ou should never read too much into one month's report. Every economist will tell you that. But it's not just one month's report. We've seen, again, six months now under Trump's tenure in which we've had job losses.” Also on Friday,University of Massachusetts Amherst Economics Professor Arin Dube warned that “the labor market is flashing red,” while University of Michigan Professor of Economics and frequent cable news guest Justin Wolfers said after the new jobs report that “the economic story just changed dramatically. Recession questions are back on the menu.” In February the liberal-leaning think tank Center for American Progress argued Trump’s tariffs have cost the US more than 100,000 manufacturing jobs. “Far from the manufacturing sector ‘roaring back’ as Trump promised, the United States has lost more than 100,000 manufacturing jobs over the past year,” Allison McManus and Dawn Le of the Center for American Progress wrote. “These actions have pushed the country’s closest trading partners to seek deals elsewhere, including with China: Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union have all recently sought new agreements without the United States.” They added, “Over time, each of these deals will result in markets that were once enjoyed by U.S. suppliers increasingly oriented away from them — and the rules of international engagement increasingly written by foreign governments.” Conservative commentator Mona Charen from The Bulwark speculated last month that voters may also blame Trump’s tariffs for the poor economy. “Voters are rarely able to connect policy to outcomes, but they have done so in the case of tariffs,” Mona Charen wrote. “Back in 2024, Americans were about equally divided on the question of trade, with some favoring higher tariffs and roughly similar numbers opting for lower tariffs. Experience has changed their views.”

When we talk about Red states, there is this perception that they are already a lost cause. People spend less money, pay less attention to the candidates and don’t respect the pain and suffering of the people in those states.

So I think we should change the narrative. These aren’t Red states, there’s no such thing. There’s no state without at least one Democratic stronghold.

But Ohio! Is by far one of THE most gerrymandered states in the country But Utah! Have you seen Salt Lake City? But Tennessee! Wait till I tell you about Memphis and Nashville.

Get the point? All of these states and so many more have something in common, they’re mostly gerrymandered to hell at state and federal level, and there’s so much voter suppression.

Introducing “Gray States” the concept that you can’t know how a state would actually vote if the voter suppression keeps so many people from voting. No state is worth writing off and every single state deserves to find out what their color truly is

Exactly. No experience at all. Very little in the way of confidence building. Lies. Racist, homophobic and misogynist posts. Can’t keep a campaign manger or staff and sorry but a Nazi tattoo is 💯 disqualifying.

Did you know that Graham Platner was Ryan Grim's bartender back at the Tune Inn on Capitol Hill, a fact that Ryan Grim acknowledged on X?

The real tea…

Y’all thought there would be enough of US to save Y’ALL from yourselves.

These platner bros don’t understand how senate campaigns win.

You need Donors.

Lots of donors.

Big donors.

Donors don’t waste money on a dude with a super sketchy backstory who can’t keep a campaign manager.

Or a dude “taking time off from the campaign to go to Norway for IVF”

The sea is higher than we thought and millions more are at risk, study finds A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters.

CLIMATE CHANGE: A methodological blind spot in coastal elevation data means rising seas threaten up to 132 million more people than previously estimated. New data show 90% of assessments underestimate baseline water heights by 1 foot as researchers often fail to account for waves and tides.

the thesis statement of our times

People who’ve never been to a Black funeral, far less a Black politician and civil rights leader’s funeral, are showing their entire asses once again, down to deep in the crack.

They've always been among us. They were silently complicit during slavery. They negotiated with conservatives to gain the presidency in 1876 by turning a blind eye to Jim Crow. They stood silently when Black people were lynched. They joined in white flight during desegregation.
