We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.
Some of those stories may even be true!
But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

My favorite Allegheny County Budget idea?
Taking money from the District Attorney’s office and reallocating it to the Public Defender’s office until they both have an equal amount of funding.

Whether talking about police violence, climate change, homelessness, or genocide, a key form of propaganda is that the most powerful institutions in the world—who are directly causing and profiting from horrific stuff—really want to make things better but just can’t.

In case you missed it — a new poll has us UP by one point in the Nebraska Senate race.
The momentum is with us – retweet and help us get the word out that the people are ready to send an independent to the US Senate.

A poll of Nebraska: It's by SUSA, a prominent pollster, tho it's an internal poll for Osborn.
Dan Osborn up 45% to 44% on Senator Fischer. 11% undecided.
Last month, SUSA found Fischer up 39/38, & 23% undecided. That was a public poll for @SplitTicket_ surveyusa.com/client/PollRep…

I am increasingly convinced that Gaza is
—and will be—the essential moral question of our time. But perhaps what’s even more essential is our collective failure to perceive the question.

There's not a *whisper* of Communism in anything Kamala Harris has ever said.
But Elon Musk tweets what we now know are *Kremlin talking points* dozens of times a day to hundreds of millions of people.
EVERY MAGA ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.
Never, *ever* forget that maxim.

PA-17 in Pittsburgh’s suburbs shifted from Lean D to Likely D, a boon to incumbent Dem Rep. Chris Deluzio. GOP challenger state Rep. Rob Mercuri is trailing in polling and fundraising and outside groups are staying out of race.
.@InsideElections shifts FOUR races -- including two GOP-held -- in Democrats' favor 🚨
#NE02 Tilt R to Toss-up
#CA45 Lean R to Tilt R
#PA17 Lean D to Likely D
#WA08 Likely D to Solid D
Reminder: Dems only need 4 seats to win back the majority.

We’re being punished right?
The news that Trump is going virtually station JD Vance in Pennsylvania for the rest of the campaign shows that his path to the presidency is becoming PA or nothing.

Palestine isn’t a local issue?
The why are we forcing City employees to resign for supporting Palestine?

In SP&R's Pa poll, Harris is beating Trump in Allegheny Co. (Pitt) by 73:18 margin, improving on Biden's 20 pt. win in '20. In the suburban Phila collar counties, she leads Trump 55:35. If the Pa suburbs go this big for Harris, Trump will need to make up ground in rural Pa.

So just to be clear, hypothetically: a man getting a chin implant & a new jawline *is* gender affirming surgery, amiright???
