Check out the full report on the role of young men in 2026 battleground races at www.ymrp.org/reports . Contact information for YMRP included as we build out our efforts to engage this persuadable (and winnable) share of the electorate in pro-democracy, pro-equality efforts.

What do these young guys like? Being able to afford stuff.

What do these young guys hate? Corruption and political overreach by the president.

How do they learn about it? Longform dudes-just-bantering videos they leave on at work, on break, while doing homework, while doing chores

Here in Texas, the rapid growth of the young Latino vote as a share of the electorate is a big part of the story. There are almost as many young Latino men as white men registered to vote in Texas, with the Latino share continuing to rise

Large swings in turnout and vote choice in key states like Maine and Michigan, for example, were coupled with a deepening education divide. We should be actively looking for ways to talk to young men in these states bearing in mind campus-based efforts are just part of the story

Young mens' support for Democratic candidates in their state can bounce around a lot. Between 2020, 2022, and 2024, a combination of electoral composition and persuasion produced significant swings in how young men participated in battleground state races

An in-depth new report from YRMP using data from Catalist shows the swing in who young men vote for - and whether or not they vote - could make or break many key 2026 races.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 7k) gives me some methodological concerns. They allowed people to rate their pun making as "outstanding" but, statistically, most are sitting indoors at the time

I am so fucking sick of the "they're really nice off camera, they just say this stuff to rile their voters" schtick

What do you mean "they're really nice, they just stoke violence to benefit their political project"

Your "grievances" aren't just grievances when you turn them into incitement!

Sadly I did find "a fascist worked out today, did you?" to work superbly

Not the point but uh, "beers on me at training?"

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Like I wish the story these guys always went with was not "ah that wiley GOP, cleverly finding another trick to wriggle out of an overdue election loss."

I wish they would just say, "national security cagastrophe: the party with unity control of our government needs violent racism to survive"

Amex is so amazed by my technical skills and code organization they say they're sending their repo team to my house!

No no this is YouGov, you're thinking of Gallup

I would argue with how you characterize this scale but everyone already knows the Levy distribution is one-sided

Launching her campaign with a Bruce Poliquin bit is actually a pretty good metaphor for where she is now as a person

"Of course they're 'enemies.' One is normal people minding their own business. One is the worst political party in the world. Real fork in the microwave situation that one"

"With a terrible agenda and dogshit candidates everybody hates, the GOP turns to an old friend: gullibility"

I know they write bad headlines just to farm clicks but they gotta know this story is not "Islam is an enemy of the GOP," the story is "bigotry is a friend to the GOP"

Immigration Court Drops Case Against Tufts Student Rumeysa Ozturk The Turkish national had been arrested by plainclothes federal officers outside her apartment.

An immigration court dropped its case against Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, a little less than a year after federal agents arrested her on a street near Tufts University

Like, these are the guys they'd need 100 percent suicide-cult levels of loyalty from to try to steal a midterm election

...so anyway, does anyone else believe Susan Collins may be in trouble this year

“.. He said he had no interactions with Epstein after 2005, yet we now know they were in business together,” Garcia said. “Lutnick must resign or be fired.”

Like, some people were made to believe there was a good-faith effort underway to prevent Donald Trump from stealing an election when actually there was just a herd of cranks with law degrees who wanted to collect a few more years' worth of checks for suing county governments

Good in-depth report. It never got anywhere near as bad on the left I don't think, but worth remembering that "Rockland County recount" shit from 2024-5 was underway not on behalf of Dems, but a La Rouche candidate aided by Republicans who basically ran the Maricopa playbook for a different audience
