The GOP’s nominee to run the 9th most populous state just called for killing people who disagree with the far-right and that sentiment was echoed by the head of Heritage and the man behind Project 2025. But like 90% of all political news is about Democratic hand-wringing over Biden’s debate flop.

Trump was so resistant to doing the job that he tried to get us to call Mar a-Lago "the Winter White House" to legitimize the fact that he planned to spend most of his time on vacation.

seems a bit location dependent. where I live (Boulder Colorado), the local chapter works hard to support candidates but often candidates will not publicize the endorsement because it's seen as not helpful or potentially fringe / harmful

Washington Post has more on the story first in Politico the other day about the clashes between the Christian right and the Trump campaign/RNC on platform drafting.
It's getting heated, but what will it amount to? 🧵1/x

Labour's seat landslide is the headline bc of how it will affect government in the UK. But in terms of voter sentiment, most voters disaffected with Conservatives went to the right-wing Reform Party, not Labour. A warning for the future.

UK politics can be grim, but election night there with constituencies being largely ungerrymandered, losers standing next to winners of podiums, and the "election season is 6 weeks, not 2 years" default is incredibly wholesome

The story so far is that Labour isn't gaining that much support; it's just winning a ton of seats because Conservatives and Reform are splitting the vote on the right.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Very far down the list of things that are bad about Project 2025, but since it's in my wheelhouse I do feel obliged to note that a second Trump term would be a gift to NIMBYs. They're promising AFFH repeal + aggressive defense of single-family zoning. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...

New post up, on how there was never an actual bipartisan push for decarceration. It's true that red and blue states alike saw prison populations decline. But within those red states, the work was done by the blue counties. The politics of punishment are local, not state, not federal.
