In a new WaPo-ABC poll, 79% of Democrats say they are certain to vote in November, compared to 65% of Republicans.

The largest gap in that question since 2006.

Republicans are doing great with voters who say they'll "probably vote" this fall, while Democrats are doing well among those who are "certain," Post-ABC-Ipsos poll finds wapo.st/3MPdeRx

This is the worst speech I’ve ever seen for a SoTU. Flat. Rambling. Nothing new about actual policy.

I get why racists and fascists love Trump. I get why greedy billionaires, and even just rich people, at least support him. I get why misogynists, and narcissists, and crooks, and corrupt opportunists love him.

What I don’t get is how anyone can watch him, and be in any way impressed by him.

Sure! Even those who voted Republican up and down in my opinion have that right. But my frustration with those who just didn’t vote (including one particular member of my own family) just pisses me off to no end.

If you didn’t vote in 2024 because _______ <insert dumbass reason here>, I don’t want to hear any complaining.

Gotta do your part to be involved in your democracy. And you get to rightfully complain only if you voted.

No patience for letting perfect be the enemy of the good.

The fact Trump is so far underwater in polling gives me some hope that we’ll reject MAGA thoroughly once he’s gone. πŸ™

But man β€” what a painful β€œdon’t touch the stove” (again) lesson for America to learn while we live through this truly stupid period in our history.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

Just spineless through and through.

Republicans are scared of Trump and MAGA -- and despite Trump's fast-dropping approval ratings, they're still a bunch of cowards on pushing back. Vote them out!

After promising reinvestment in public housing on the campaign trail, the Mamdani admin is instead backing a developer-friendly demolition & privatization plan in the first major fight over NYCHA's fate.

It really sucks to see left-NIMBYs trying to sabotage Zohran’s mayoralty.

they’re currently attack him because he supports a plan to rebuild crumbling NYCHA apartments in Chelsea with increased density AND ensuring every existing resident gets a brand new, permanently affordable home

From birtherism to natural born citizenship, the president is a racist nativist all the way down. You cannot separate this Administration’s view of our national identity from this invidious slop.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Sure would be nice if Congressional Republicans (and governors) decided to say no to this kind of federal overstepping from Trump β€” but they’re terrified of being bullied by him (not to mention the MAGA base + media) and they’re a bunch of cowards. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ«
