It’s raising a minimum wage.

So annoying that Democrats propose something, the Republican majority opposes and entirely quashes it, and the “take” is that we should blame Democrats for not getting it done.
Republicans control the House and even if they didn’t, there is nothing close to a majority vote of the House that want to impeach members of SCOTUS.
It’s wild how much the slowness of the judicial system distorts society. Rich people delay forever and evade punishment…this was a crime from 2016, 8 years ago, he was found guilty in May and won’t even get his sentence until late November, let alone start serving it.
But, this is also a cause of some of the major issues at the Southern border. The immigration system is so bogged down that it can’t process the volume, judges are doing bulk decisions with seconds reading each case, people are being released into the US until their case can be heard which can be a long time, and that process is so politically toxic that both parties have switched to flatly illegal methods of rejecting legal asylum seekers or other legal immigrants.
I’m not a legal expert but can we get some proposals to speed this all up? Do we just dump resources at it, get more judges so they can have fewer cases? Change the laws? Something needs to happen here.
Threads was because if you had an Instagram account it ported over.
Bluesky was the Twitter clone made by the old Twitter CEO.
Most people didn’t have a problem with Twitter being a corporation, they had a problem with the new owner of the corporation making the experience terrible with his new changes.
“Harris with 3x the support among Muslim voters vs Trump” is another accurate way to report the results of this poll.
Harris and Stein tied at 29%, with 11% of the cohort’s support going to Donald Trump
She’s tied…for first place among Muslim voters. And Trump is getting almost 2/3rds less.
People like the popular progressive ideals and they don’t like the unpopular ones.
Harris should support a higher minimum wage and not support Medicare replacing private insurance or taking money away from the police.
Not sure why people want to generalize the popularity of some of their positions to the popularity of all positions. If all their positions were super popular there would be more people in The Squad.
It broke X, can’t tell if on purpose or some weird algorithm thing. I clicked on trending topics and Hunter Biden was trending but only 1 in 3 of the tweets under that trending topic mentioned Hunter, and all of them were about Gus.
Then the same thing for Barron Trump, and Kyle Rittenhouse. A series of young men became trending topics but all of the tweets were about Gus. Just odd.
Obviously some of it was people comparing Gus to the other guys but a majority were just straight up about Gus and no one else.
I just don’t care about this framing. I want him to fail in all his political endeavors, I think he would be particularly dangerous if re-elected, and also, I never met the guy and I don’t care if he has a certain feeling or another. He’s personally pissed off? Ok, fine. I don’t care.
But he specifically said he didn’t have a series of mini strokes, when nobody had asked. Claimed he was getting ahead of a rumor he said everybody was spreading when nobody had ever heard it.
I think that clears it up.
It helps that it’s a Cruz year.
Allred vs Cruz is currently 45/47, it’s pretty close. Might be a pretty important Senate race if the Democrats lose one of the closer ones.
It’s one event with a month of prep time and a teleprompter. Biden hasn’t lost all faculties, but he can’t be this “on” every day for the next 3 months while also being president. This is carefully curated to his strengths, making him look good, which is great, but it’s no sign he could be president in 4 years.
Such performative masculinity, you can never be the underdog or have nuance.
Harris is up by a point or two nationally, and that’s not necessarily enough to win. Battleground states are all too close to call. The RCP electoral map is still giving Trump the win granted they tend to be R-biased in their poll aggregation but that is the path to claiming Trump is in the lead.
The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.
These are not polls they are odds of winning.
Latest Quinnipiac poll of Pennsylvania has Harris up by 3 points, 50% to 47%. Based on that low level of undecided/3rd party voters, trend lines, historical movement of polls from mid August to November, Nate Silver’s model predicts that 59% of the time, the candidate who is winning 50% to 47% right now will win the state in November.
If these were the poll numbers she’d probably be in Texas trying to flip it, that would be crazy.
PTSD is serious and difficult to live with and I feel sorry for anyone who has it. Not really something to joke about.
I would be freaked out too if I almost got assassinated. He is a human being.
I don’t want him to be president. But that doesn’t change my basic humanity for the victim of a crime.
It is so hard to win without Florida for Republicans. He could win PA, WI, GA. AZ, NV and still lose if he didn’t win Florida.
But it’s a moot point because Republicans don’t lose FL outside of landslides anymore, happened for Obama 08 but not 2012 and the state has gotten redder since then.
So he doesn’t want DC or PR statehood, giving federal representation to millions of otherwise disenfranchised US citizens because…he thinks they’ll elect Democrats. Cool.
