This is Tarrant County since 2018. Most are way up on D side. I'd love to compile it in presentable ways but I have an actual job. π€£ Many counties are recording record D primary turnout.

I asked ChatGPT to give me some background on the motive for Charlie Kirk's killer if known. I *DID NOT* ask if he was alive or if he was shot. IMy language saying clearly he had been murdered. This is what it said. It said Charlie Kirk was still alive... with emphasis.

Well maybe if a lot of journalists weren't stooges they wouldn't get criticized. π€·ββοΈ At least they get criticized here for not being factual or for giving into silencing themselves. On Twitter they get attacked for being journalists.

I still haven't heard the argument as to why he should be speaker. If you strip away his current role, he is just another guy talking and not a good one at that. Anyone? Bueller? McFly?
