If Trump talked about his voters like he talks about everybody else: "They are low IQ people, frankly. And crazy, violent. Look what they tried to do to poor Mike Pence. They really wanted to do a number on him. Miiiiiiike! I said. Watch out for those Trump voters. He didn't listen. He never did."

There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no Bernie revolution Our so-called leaders speak With ICE they try to jail ya They subjugate the meek And have now invaded Venezuela

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

But every tweet's like Big Macs, Diet Coke, Lincoln in the bathroom Bonesaws, ballrooms, chargin' for hotel room We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like insult, payback, gold trim on the walls Jet planes, islands, media on a tight leash

The Netflix miniseries Death By Lightning turns a historical footnote — Charles Guiteau's assassination of President James Garfield — into a grand entertainment, with wonderful performances by Matthew Macfadyen, Michael Shannon, Betty Gilpin, and, especially, Nick Offerman. My review:

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them. So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

Infographic titled “Republican Ecosystem.” Four large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), Advocacy Media at the bottom (blue-purple), and Activists on the left (sage green). Each arrow feeds the next, depicting a self-reinforcing cycle. From the Campaigns segment, a smaller gold arrow points outward to a label “Mainstream Media” beside a purple color swatch, indicating spillover influence on non-partisan outlets. Credit “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community” appears at bottom left.Infographic titled “Democratic Ecosystem.” Three large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), and Activists on the left (sage green). Together they create an incomplete circle with a visible gap at the bottom. A small blue square labeled Advocacy Media sits outside the loop, connected by a thin arrow from Activists, showing weak integration. To the right, a large blue box labeled Mainstream Media represents the dominant external media sphere. Credit at lower left reads “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community.” The design contrasts with the “Republican Ecosystem” version by emphasizing the Democratic side’s weaker feedback loop between activists, donors, and media.

Who wants to go to Kari Lake And head out Who wants to go to Kari Lake And head out (who wants to go to Kari Lake) Head out, head out (who wants to go to Kari Lake) Who's gonna do it (who wants to go to Kari Lake) Who's gonna wanna do it (who wants to go to Kari Lake)

When Democrats win big in a presidential election like 2008, there is enormous pressure on them to reach across the aisle, to be bipartisan. When Republicans win narrowly (2000, 2016, 2024) there is none of that pressure. They are just allowed to run roughshod. So sick of it.
