Maybe on a local level, in a few places but not nationally. Sometimes people who support all those things tend not to vote, because they get pissed that their one social cause is not front and center. So they ended up not voting, or protest voting.

No one should care about rallies in liberal leaning states. I don't care if 100k people show up, doesn't matter. This is just a photo op to make us liberal voters feel better. Start going Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Missouri...states we need to start winning again. #wasteoftime

When they start going to states like Kansas, Iowa, Ohio...states Dems need to start winning, then I'll give it the attention it deserves. The below is just another example of D's going to a friendly place for a photo op.

This is so dumb. People who think like this have learned nothing about why D's continue to lose elections since 2016. Just think for a second about who would get blamed if D's didn't allow this to pass? The economy is going to into recession, and now it will completely fall in the laps of R's.

Here are the state abbreviations and two numbers for each. The first is the state gun death rate in 2023 and the second is the state population per gun store. St Rate Pop per store AL 25 12,999 AK 22 5,915 AZ 20 10,364 AR 22 7,708 CA 9 27,733 CO 17 11,413 CT 7 18,361 DE 12 21,059 DC 23 FL 14 10,259 GA 20 14,342 HI 5 28,140 ID 17 7,499 IL 14 19,578 IN 18 13,247 IA 11 9,059 KS 17 8,623 KY 18 6,974 LA 27 11,973 ME 13 9,969 MD 13 21,459 MA 4 33,661 MI 15 16,111 MN 10 10,847 MS 29 11,010 MO 24 5,856 MT 24 4,460 NE 12 9,557 NV 19 7,360 NH 11 8,874 NJ 5 44,668 NM 26 10,021 NY 5 37,709 NC 17 11,515 ND 16 7,127 OH 15 10,608 OK 20 6,756 OR 15 10,911 PA 15 13,280 RI 3 21,489 SC 21 10,394 SD 15 6,912 TN 21 11,439 TX 15 11,981 UT 13 13,247 VT 13 8,196 VA 15 14,035 WA 13 16,694 WV 17 5,920 WI 14 13,651 WY 20 3,793

Here is a colored map of the United States that shows the gun deaths per 100,000 in 2023. The ALT page has a list of states with the number of people in the state per gun store. I went to the online Yellow Pages and searched for gun store in each state, it took about an hour to count.🧪💡☠️

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk? The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts.

It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me:
newrepublic.com/article/1913...

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

Screenshot of a post from a professor at the University of Illinois who has to shutdown his soy research lab and fire 30 researchers because Trump eliminated USAID.

There are already impacts on all of us since Trump closed USAID. This soy research lab is just one of many bad consequences for America.

Nailed it.

Brought to you by Jill Stein, Briahna Joy Gray and every other "environmentalist" and "free palestine" opportunist who actively helped the election of Trump because they didn't get their way. The Green Party, the greatest gift to MAGA.

Articles of impeachment ....ugh. Still using the same old play book thinking the results will be different.

I don't know if we are or are not absorbing million of immigrants (yearly) into the labor force but I do know its a major issue for most Americans. Your stance is exactly why we lost. Its a problem (real or not) for most Americans & Democrats offered nothing until the very end to solve that problem.

Some people, & maybe that group was big enough to turn the election. Wouldn't surprise me. But Ds failed badly on the boarder. Biden waiting until Spring 2024 to take executive action was WAY too late. Should have happened in 2020. D leadership also failed to understand inflation impact as well.

People vote on security, money and family. D's run on 5,000 issues 90% of the country doesn't care about. Most people think Trump is a despicable human being, and we still lost. Barely won in 2020. If we win in 2026 it will be because of luck (unless there is fundmental change w/ Dems).

To say I'm disapointed in the response to the 2024 election by leadership (DNC and Politicians) is an understatement. I could not be more disapointed, they have learned nothing about why we lost, and messeging. @kenmartin.bsky.social

The Democrats Show Why They Lost At a meeting of the DNC, the party seemed to be at pains to demonstrate that it learned nothing from its 2024 defeat.

"The Democratic Party, at least in theory, is an organization dedicated to winning political power through elected office, though this might seem hard to believe on the evidence provided by its official proceedings."

Holy Shit 🤯

Tennesse Republicans want to charge elected officials who vote against Trump's immigration policy with a felony punishable by up to 6 years in prison.

This provision sets a dangerous precedent of penalizing any elected official for voting their conscience.

Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover:

Medicaid
ESSA funds
IDEA
Snap
School meals
WIC
Head start grants
Child care block grants
Pell grants
Student loans
Higher Ed grants
Housing vouchers
CTE

Devastating beyond words.

Hi friends!

I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.

The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.
