I have no proof that this is the cause, but hearing that the governor of TX just put a hold on data center construction in our state has made me think that the GOP is circling the wagons for when they get totally rolled in November.

One aspect of the GOP getting absolutely rolled in the near future due to their open, violent racism, and total disregard for human life and ethics, is that we're seeing this spill out onto centrists who, for years, saw the GOP as a guiding light for brand emulation. They're so angry. It rules.

NEW: Do Democrats funded by AIPAC pay an electoral penalty in a general election? We find that a Democrat funded by AIPAC performs significantly worse against a Republican than a Democrat who “rejects all outside financial support from industry groups and PACs.”

 "In a Matchup Against a Republican, a Democrat Funded by AIPAC Underperforms a Democrat Who Rejects Outside PAC Money."

In this experiment, respondents were shown hypothetical general election matchups between a Republican and a Democratic candidate, both with a randomized source of outside funding. The chart shows how each funding source affects a Democratic candidate's average performance relative to a Democratic candidate who "rejects all financial support from outside industry groups and PACs."

Planned Parenthood funding is associated with a +1.8pp effect. Nurses unions: -0.8pp. Police unions: -2.0pp. Real estate development industry: -2.7pp. Oil and gas industry: -3.1pp. National Rifle Association (NRA): -4.2pp. Pharmaceutical industry: -4.9pp. Cryptocurrency industry: -4.9pp. Artificial Intelligence industry: -5.3pp. American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC): -6.2pp.

That's because there never were drugs, they knew there never were drugs, but they *did* know that their stupefied listeners at home wanted their confirmation bias stroked, and they *do* have a narrative to sell, so in it went. Same racist story since time out of mind.

A Fox News anchor claimed that a Houston man shot by ICE had meth in his car. The DA now confirms no drugs were found in the vehicle.

Gretchen Whitmer endorsing Stevens over El-Sayed really puts the lie to all the excuses of the Democratic Party establishment. It’s not the general, it’s the primary. Stevens has run a deeply racist, corrupt smear campaign against Sayed. Stevens isn’t popular; El-Sayed almost always polls better.

Tragic ending to what would’ve been an amazing legacy for Big Gretch. She reversed harmful policies and did so much with a split government. Now, she’s ending it with this photo, supporting data centers, vetoing bills her own party fought for, and this.
