New CBS / YouGov poll for under 30 voters. Will be crucial for them to turnout as they’re the least likely to of all age demos.

Maybe they think you’re a “Trump operative” because someone on Threads *seems to have found* you *affiliated* as a registered republican?

I have an iPhone, but I specifically chose my TV rig as android for its flexibility of onboarding pen source media. We’ll see if Apple can bring a beneficial, simple AI experience to the masses. Siri may go instant genius on us. They’ll need to in order to convince people to upgrade.

Unfortunately the state of PA can’t count their mail in votes earlier in the process. If I recall 2020 correctly, election day was done and Trump was ahead in PA, but the mail in voting continued into the night and next day and Biden won Same deal, different year, 2024.

Hocul delayed the $15 surcharge on vehicles to enter the city, which would fund the subway initiatives, until after the Nov election so Dems don’t get tagged as tax raisers, and endless media stories air on how much it cost a family for a day on the city.

Hey! First map of the season, let’s go! WI will be very close, and PA with a diverse urban/rural electorate, will be the ones to watch. Gov Whitmer seems to have a handle on delivering MI. I don’t care if Dems win by 2 electoral votes. I hadn’t realized we had this good of a chance.

60% of Americans pay income tax, the remainder do not. This is Trump’s idea to get them to pay up! It’s also incredibly dumb. US tax rev was $5T in 2022. U.S. imports for goods only $3.9T. There’s a $1T shortfall to fund the govt and many tariffs would have to be taxed at higher multiples.

The “we’re more patriotic then you” imagery I feel started with the Fox News flags Their broadcasts drown in red, white & blue & they subconsciously make patriotic associations w their stories Then the Trump bro’s flew them from their pickup trucks & made it all to complicated for lefties to bother

Makes you wonder if the cost of the new Apple OpenAI phones kick back a piece to OpenAI. This consumer piece is a very large segment, and they’re giving away a lot w first mover “get the eyeballs” approach Will be interesting to see how many $30 OpenAI subs the enterprise generates for MSFT

Durbin should hold the hearings and shine some light on Thomas even though it would take 60 votes to enforce a subpoena. Republicans always put on a show, like the years long House non existent “Biden crimes”. Dems being nice is lamer by the day.

Apple is obviously all in to sell the latest, greatest AI model phones, and I’m sure they’re psyched they don’t have to brag about a new camera for the umpteenth time. Apple gets OpenAI on all devices, the later instantly installed on a gazillion new devices. I’ll take a better Siri when I’m ready.

US total tax revenue for 2022 was $4.9T US imports for goods only in 2022 was $3.9T Generally, it would seem there’s a shortfall of $1T to fund the government and some import tariffs would have to have higher multiples. It’s all a backdoor way for Trump to stick it to low income non-tax payers

In Trump speak… (not me!) “Shark in the water…VERY BAD! “Fully electric boat sinking due to very heavy batteries in hull contacting water causing electrocution while standing in sinking boat BAD, but LESS BAD!” It’s his anti electric vehicle rant. I think Elon is having a bad day with this…

Dems don’t need a ball & chain $15 NYC entrance tax issue republicans can exploit. Fox News wasn’t around in 1970 during the Verrazano tax reversal in that election. Wait until after the election to get your subways fixed! That’s Hocul’s plan, duh! We really need to win the House ya know.

Their belief system is a very powerful driver & formidable opponent Dems need to realize, once again, the gravity of the situation and act. They are relentless The popular vote is always in Dems favor but really need to spread the word & drag more people to the polls, and obviously in key states

The proposed TikTok ban has a lot less to do with China having US citizens private info and a lot more to do with the flourishing pro-Palestine movement on TikTok. The movement is now worldwide and cannot be suppressed in social media. At this point there’s no way a ban will happen anytime soon

A week ago I heard Netanyahu’s genocide might be complete by end of July. Latest I heard is post Nov election Another drag on those, younger voters, that might otherwise vote Biden who might do a protest vote 3rd party or sit out The Biden 2020 youth vote counteracted much of the older Trump vote

Glad to hear ABC is pushing back. Meanwhile CNN’s Manu Raju is getting steamrolled by Kevin McCarthy on his Sunday show with lies I could do a better job pushing back on. BTW…the new GOP talking point is “Biden is a threat to democracy”, based on the trial result and “it could happen to you”.

The timeline that media is airing says appeals courts might see this Nov-Jan 2025 and SCOTUS won’t see this until late 2025 at the earliest. Trump will be 78 in June of 2025. I do hope he dies first, naturally of course, as a convicted felon, not an exonerated one. Keep bingein’ on burgers dude
