A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Horrifying. Allison Riggs won by 734 votes but Judge Griffin has tried to throw out 65,000+ ballots from voters who all showed valid ID. Now the court has sided with him, giving those voters just 15 days to cure their ballots. This is a direct attack on the will of the people.

LFG 🔥💪👏

As we watch these ominous developments, I keep thinking of a post from Anne Caprara, chief of staff to Illinois governor JB Pritzker, which summed up the party’s struggles quite well: “The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left.. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

While there may be partisan disagreement over the best policy solution, one thing is clear: across the ideological spectrum voters believe climate change is a major problem and want government action. A majority of Republicans are even frustrated with lawmakers who deny climate change!

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.gov · 2y ago

Outrageous. Scrubbing climate data from USDA sites is pure political manipulation—and a threat to agricultural resilience. Farmers face unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and crop losses. Ignoring science won’t change reality. They need facts to adapt and survive, not censorship and denial.

Damning.

There is no substitute for in-depth public opinion research when it comes to understanding potential voters. Any conversation about political strategy should include a plan for better understanding the public.

In House battleground districts, the economic argument that voters heard the most about Dems was that they'd make the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes. They heard less from Dems about cost of living and middle class taxes. Via @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social
