Dems strongly favored to take the House in our new election forecast. Senate just better than a tossup: Iowa: 41% Dem Texas: 48 Alaska: 51 Ohio: 53 Maine: 68 Michigan: 69 North Carolina: 84 Georgia: 94 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...
Democrats strongly favored to take the House, Senate tilts Democratic in our new election forecast (crosspost)
Our brand-new election forecast for the 2026 congressional midterms puts Democrats at above even odds to take control of both chambers

The current state of the Market ™️ is willfully gullible. The gullibility will continue until morale improves.
FinTwitter@fintwitter.bsky.social · 3d agoBRENT CRUDE DROPPED MORE THAN 7% AT THE OPEN AFTER TRUMP SAID HE AGREED TO CALL OFF A MASSIVE ATTACK ON IRAN AT THE REQUEST OF MIDDLE EAST ALLIES INCLUDING SAUDI ARABIA, WITH OIL ALSO WEIGHED BY ANOTHER SMALL OPEC+ QUOTA INCREASE, AS WTI FELL 6.7% TO $78.98 A BARREL.
Quick, someone call Matt Yglesias and tell him how wrong he is about (*waves hands*) all of this shit lol
I’m an Old People ™️, and I know this kid is correct. People of my generation and older - Boomers are still wilding after all this time - are making very bad choices. Gen X is giving you a run for your money, Boomers, and we are bad leaders overall, but y’all are finishing your rule with Trump smh
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 4d ago🔥 “I’m so sick and tired of you old people not giving a shit about what we’re telling you. We don’t have a future. We’re telling you what we need and you don’t give a damn.”
One way to interpret this screed: his narcissistic needs are so great that he can’t allow himself to publicly admit the cyber attacks are a form of retaliation for the violence he repeatedly chooses to impose on Iran. It offends him personally. Brings out his ‘ranting bitch face.’
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Important: Pro-Trump media are losing viewers in droves. "The audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows," NYT reports today. "Views are dropping for many of Trump’s greatest allies." More evidence we've entered Late-Stage Trumpism:
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d agoIn Late-Stage Trumpism, everything is sinking into cheap, petty malice: *Bill Pulte boasting of nonexistent "deep state" firings *Trump denying aid to blue states *Raging over Reflecting Pool fiasco *Prosecutions of foes imploding *He took over 250th and nobody came newrepublic.com/article/2137...

I completely understand posts like this and I guaran-fuckin-tee you as someone getting through a 2020 that included cancer treatment, a major surgical procedure, and a 10-day stay in the hospital with a bacterial infection that required interventional radiology and an infectious disease specialist
Believe me when I say I’ve drinking one cup of bleach 2x daily, every day since April 23, 2020, and feeling stronger than ever. Suck on that, Tony!

It’s not too late to make this even stupider, Bari.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last wk.Breaking News: Ross Douthat, The New York Times opinion columnist, is joining CBS News’s “60 Minutes” in one of the first major hires since Bari Weiss’s takeover.
Weiss doesn’t know two shits about how to build a TV audience, and Ross knows even less, so I predict what she ends up doing is basically making a glorified podcast out of 60 Minutes, and that iteration dies an ignoble death in < 5 years. I think that’s a generous timeline, too.

When do the collective ‘we’ get to say that Elon is repeatedly yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater and take this platform away from him?
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2w agoElon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
Still see a hilarious number of posts from BlueSky denizens proclaiming that Beshear has ruined his 2028 primary chances. As if that’s all he’s thinking about. As if they’d ever. Silliness and childish disingenuousness.
Senator Alfred Sharpie Pen@alfredsharpiepen.bsky.social · 2w agoPeople harping on Andy Beshear to “do something” else about Mitch McConnell are in fact far more lame than the object of their ire. If McConnell is indeed deceased, Beshear has calculated the GOP will pay a price beyond the small amount of damage he could conceivably accelerate, ever-so-slightly.
What Enten terms “unbelievable” is not, in fact, unbelievable at all, when you understand Bibi’s current tenure as PM. He is the proxy for the state of Israel, and no matter where one is on the ideological spectrum, it’s easy to grasp Bibi had a major role in pushing Trump to start a whole ass war
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoEnten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."
Maybe my imagination is skewed wrong but I don’t worry about Sky Net creating killer androids and destroying humanity. I worry about AI being like this and controlling a nuclear reactor and deciding critical safety code needs to be rewritten or some insane shit.
