NJ Politics Enjoyer

Jack has done nothing to separate himself from Trump and Trump is quite unpopular. AND it’s a blue year!

A lot of "we will consider this bill" and a heck less messaging ones. Do they actually pass a partisan immigration bill? Probably not.

I was pleasantly surprised by how mild it was. Just a rainy day

I'm quite upset at the incumbents in MD and IL, who are unwilling to self sacrifice even a little bit to help fight this. Same with OR.

Plus this gets the Epstein File vote petition to the magic number of 218

what are your thoughts on the subsidies? On one hand going to hurt a lot of people if they expire, on the other it hands Trump a big win if they pass and potentially hurts Dem efforts in midterms

Not seeing as many Sherrill signs as I saw Harris signs in November in pretty liberal Princeton. I think she squeaks by but most shore areas seem pretty excited for Jack

Thanks!

I'm so confused with what is going on with the economy. Is everything okay? Is everything about to collapse?

Huntington is great! Quite walkable. Don’t know much about the rest

Only to realize you forgot to cite one paper and then have to search for it for ten minutes

Map of Iowa State Senate District 1

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - IOWA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 1🚨

Democrat: Catelin Drey

Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH🗓️

Area: Sioux City

Note: Back in January, Democrats made national headlines by flipping a Trump+21 Iowa State Senate seat. We can do that again here in this Trump +11 seat.

I expect Reps to throw some money at these races but booking this far in advance both saves money for Dems due to ad rates and helps to drag down Republicans

My local Philippine takeout place has raised its prices on the combo meal from 9.99 to 10.49. 5% increase :(

Need to consolidate this lead. But bullish sign for Cooper

perfect for concerts...otherwise not so much

Until next moths August data

Chris Murphy goes all in on funding bill boycott as Dems seek bipartisanship The politically ambitious Connecticut Democrat is walking away from bipartisan government funding negotiations as his party clamors for a seat at the table.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social has got it exactly right. No point in bipartisan spending bills if Rs are going to let Trump decide what gets implemented or not. Can't shut down the government for ever but at least could demand full release of Epstein files or something. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

You think they can outlast the Tx legislature? Heard they'd have to stay until December to kill the new maps. Ofc idk if Reps have different abilities at their disposal

Just so fake

Went on vacation for a couple of weeks and the weeds took over all my milkweed :(. Hopefully there’s enough left for a couple of butterflies

Clear Service?

Someone wants to be president / fears a primary. Still don’t understand why he voted for that French ambassador

Going to be touting GDP while ignoring ADP

Istg if this is the thing that brings him down. He keeps on making it worse

The only way to get rid of gerrymandering in the long term is to fight fire with fire.

Dems in the following states should go forward with gerrymandering if republicans actually go through with this:

California (+7 seats)
New York (+4)
Maryland (+1)
Wisconsin (+3)
Virginia (+3)
Colorado (+3)

In our new poll with @verasight.bsky.social, immigration dominated the news for July, overshadowing economic issues. But despite Trump's positive numbers on border security, he's underwater on immigration and deportations — approval down to just 43%. Full poll www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

I think the low end for approval is 40, but I could see it getting down to mid 30s

Interesting how your posts get a lot more traction here than twitter
