I'd say of hyper-online left leaners thru all social media. People with civic knowledge will know when it's time to panic
If she wants to help LA, get her minions out and let more funds to rebuild the Palisades in
I'll add private sector wise, the worst decisions were made by the youngest members of leadership. The oldest members were instrumental in keeping the youngest from barrelling headfirst into a wall
Usually when the economy begins to slow down, we see more sales and discounts. But with costs increasing, would you expect less discounts going forward or more?
Already bought champagne!
Once again, 75% chance Biden outlives Trump and I'm here for it
So with profit margins shrinking and wholesale prices rising, would consumers expect to see more discounts or fewer for the year? #econsky
Also, Kevin De Leon was her opponent, and we all remember he turned out to be squeaky clean - wait, I'm being handed a note here
Mixed bag but IA boomeranging left regardless
Would you expect with margins shrinking and spending softening, there would be more or less discounts from vendors going forward?
Then so do CA, NY, MD and IL!
That probably hurts the unions more than the party
Oh man, that's not great
Book residuals drying up
Do you know how many outstanding ballots are left? Or where to see that number?
I'll take it!
Operation Be Less Weird not a success
I think there's also a GA state senate race tonight, and it looks closer than I would've thought
Wonder if that applies with a Dem president
it also makes me roll my eyes when they want lawmakers to throw hands at law enforcement and get arrested and I'm like "what's stopping you, mate?"
Can't wait to see how the market reacts
If he wins, he can make Newsom ambassador to France or something. I'm fine with that!
It's okay to be worried about what can go wrong It's too overblown to think the National Guard can rule the country by fiat
Doing the Lord's work, Charles!
Wish we were voting on this map instead!
There are people to this day who think he would have been a good president!
Biden outliving Trump would be *chef's kiss*
Him being the Oogie Boogie Man would make sense
I will laugh hysterically if Trump goes before Biden and all the naysayers have to eat crow
She and Amy Jo Johnson were my formative crushes
America finally elected its first communist president and it was Trump
Almost like yelling communist at everything obscures what it actually looks like?
10% stake in IKEA?
I hope all the MAGAs are ready for Pres. Pritzker to use all these new powers and titles
I'm waiting for him to hike the 10% floor to 20% and (hopefully) call it a day
Wish we could have just kicked out all 9 Rs thru the rest of the decade
Should also be noted that it's temporary (reverts back to commission in 2030 for the census)
Me when asked how I'll vote on the CA redistricting proposition this fall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZKd...
Manos a la obra!
It's like the worst parts of the worst administrations rolled into one at the same time: Johnson, Wilson, Hoover, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr
Let me at it!
Efficiency!
What about MN?
No wonder they're rigging the districts
Median voter, sowing: Hell yeah The rest of us, reaping: Hmm, wait a minute...
Tariffs will be biting in earnest by November
Also, what does a strike have to do with the shape of a district?
We can do better than that company anyway
So did Polis get too high on his own supply or was he always this weird and as gov gets to act upon said weirdness?
Also elected officials throwing hands at the armed forces doesn't actually solve the problem or motivate the "do-somethings" to put their own skin in the game. Their role isn't to rabble-rouse!
Racist Squidward dying of consumption looking ass
all go, no think is the only way they operate
I have come around to this view, for better and for worse
I'd forgotten that on this Rollercoaster ride
All sacred cows to be slaughtered in this term
Why the decline?
Axelrod couldn't find his ass with both hands and a map
Oh, man. At least this time, I have a job that isn't easily cuttable!
Agreed!
And for all their rhetoric, they are truly baffled when Dems are like "Okay, hardball it is."
Bubbles, they are popping!
As long as it's got Bruce Campbell and Gabrielle Anwar, I'd watch every episode
He has all the charisma of a brillo pad
Can't conquer the big stairs made me chuckle
How about we try this: more guards and more tariffs! That will surely make us more popular with the people
AL and OK, light grey? Whew!
I am glad as a Latino millennial, I've voted against Trump all three times. Feels weird to be an outlier!
All gas, no brakes All stick, no carrots
At most, they would blame something other than tariffs, but they haven't even started biting with aplomb yet
Give me Mills anyday
Also after 2020 - TN, NC, AR and UT gerrymandered and we didn't retaliate so they can't say, "we would've done it anyway."
This bubble popping right as tariffs start biting and companies are talking about reducing headcount in earnest, is not great!
This is true, though those special elections earlier this year show some loosening. But you're right that AK seems to the left of IA at the moment
Peltola winning in the first place was enough of a siren. I dunno if IA is actually in play, but if it is, AK makes sense!
I mean, he's such a nothing he can't even grand vizier like Miller or Musk or Vought. I'd probably do the same thing
Would there be a way to gerrymandering all 9 R seats without endangering a current D seat?
Guy can't see his feet or walk in a straight line so not surprising
I might have held out a bit longer until NY and IL had committed stronger but agreed that this was the only leverage they had and they used it well
You go to war with the army you got. And he is filling his assigned role with aplomb
Maybe this is why we shouldn't elect drunk uncles to positions of power
The two most unpopular things of Trump 2.0 were sending troops into cities and imposing tariffs. He is now doing both on steroids so does his approval dip under 30? Also, it ain't over till it's over, and it's not even close to over
I'd like to see all nine seats go. But even making the remainder just lean R would be great
I'm curious whether it would've been possible to eliminate all 9 R held seats without moving any D seats to the right
Gotta get that clout fix
Trending in a bad direction is different than crashing. Not great though
Big yikes
Agreed that people have forgotten how bad 2007-2011 was.
Progress has always been thru temporary and uneasy coalitions, but you go to war with the army you got!
Sitting on their balls-ing their way to victory
I should add the economy is still showing resilience and there aren't troops in all state capitals. Once those two things start moving, man, I dunno
Holy guacamole. I mean, the numbers might not be exact but it's clearly showing discontent on a profound level
