A couple of times for home appliances that NY Times WireCutter did right by me.

But other times I don’t got that as a fail safe and I’m exhausted with options! 😩

They planned this to a tee. Meanwhile, we can’t prioritize unpacking a Supreme Court because β€œnorms”

Supreme Court lets Texas use gerrymandered map that could give GOP 5 more House seats The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a Texas congressional map that may help the GOP win five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms. A lower court found the map is likely unconstitutional.

Welp.

Let’s be clear,(if it SOMEHOW wasn’t before) the GOP has no intention of winning elections on the merits of what they offer as policy ever again.

And the majority on SCOTUS is determined to aid them in doing so.

It really depends on how much you’ve been exposed to in film, but also just like critical thinking??

It’s weird tho because I saw a lot of Tik tok and IG influencers break this film down so I would’ve figured folks would’ve stumbled upon it in social media

Okay that’s fair…

my problem is I always try to give folks the benefit of the doubt on understanding more than they probably do… πŸ™ƒ

So, for me, I will say, the mid credits scene was a nice to have, but wasn’t needed for me to understand what most of the key movie themes were generally.

One day he talks very eloquently on how anti DEI stuff is just anti Black.

The next day he is throwing trans and non binary people under buses

Yep this level of inconsistency (goes where wind blows) is why I can’t with this guy.

Yes lots of research to back up voters will support women and/or Black candidates. It’s getting some of the Dem establishment to understand that and support at same levels they would a white candidate (see NC US Senate races and who got more support Cal Cunningham in 2020 vs Cheri Beasley in 2022)

Anecdotally in Virginia 4th CD when McClellan ran in the special election for the seat, though it was a Dem district she overperformed in areas where Dems in House of Delegates never did

The people who will turn out in 2026 alone will infinitely be higher than an off year election

Gerrymandered to double point GOP advantage Congressional District in Tennessee

Special election in an OFF YEAR

Behn and TN Dem activists brought it within 5-6 points

That’s hard work and a WIN and a great indicator

And Behn should absolutely run again in 2026 (if she hasn’t said so yet)

It’s an R+10 that’s HARD. If a rather progressive Dem in that state can get close?! That’s a very good sign
