One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

Oh so a Republican candidate is now mad that an opponent is accusing them of “letting out” a violent criminal even tho it wasn’t necessarily what they “wanted,” and the Republican is now whining that their opponent is unfairly and cynically confusing process and a system with what one office can do
Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.
Both of the FBI’s first co-deputy directors who held the positions when they were first established a year ago are now out, and only one (replacement) co-deputy (who has a more traditional FBI background) remains.

I need to stress something else: top party operatives and trump aligned pollsters were thinking he and his party were definitely screwed this year ***BEFORE*** he launched the war on Iran. Some of them were warning *then* that he’d lose the election to BIDEN if it were held in early 2026
