Our election research team put out an article today explaining how the prediction markets (e.g. Kalshi, Polymarket) — and social media posts featuring visualizations from those platforms — may feed election rumors & conspiracy theories around the U.S. midterms: uwcip.substack.com/p/what-to-kn...

Rural boomers and Gen Xers love the fact that Trump is trying to revive logging by changing Forest Service roadless rules. The truth is that logging on scale of the 1970's and 80's will never return to the U.S. They do not understand simple economics quite obviously.

If you don't know the definition of a word then you can't be for or against it if a candidate's opponent uses the word as a negative against them. Socialism and communism are the two most misused political dogwhistles in, not only the U.S. but the world.

FiftyPlusOne just moved this race to Lean Democrat. This is the final push, and it’s going to take all of us to get this over the finish line. Chip in now 👇️

It is amazing that not one ICE, CBP, or HS agent has not been killed in the last 22 months when kidnapping and kidnapping people. Kudos to everyone for not taking the bait. But... what is more amazing is that these Nazi thugs are being allowed to kidnap and terrorize people.

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

Newsom’s lack of support for the California billionaire wealth tax is a sign that his ability to read the room is right up there with Marie Antoinette’s famous political instincts.

It really feels like Orbán was laundering the MAGA movement (not just the money) and Hungary was more of a tipping point than anyone imagined. I'm cynical, like many, but yesterday's elections matter, next week's US election matters, and doomerism is an excuse to sit on your hands and do nothing.

After Meta employees said that Lula’s social media was basically throttled, obviously ordered by Zuckerberg, should be fleeing the company if they support democracy. If not, they are no heroes.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Hopefully, the next play caller for Oregon will call pass plays where the receivers run patterns past the sticks on third down. Low bar but a good place to start.

Please, Canada, make an internet connection available for residents of the US. I know too many people who use Starlink as a last resort. Offer an alternative, please! You have the incentive to figure out how to reach remote places, and many here need that.

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice “weaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

Newly unearthed video of MAGA candidate in Iowa Joe Mitchell shows him complaining that he "doesn't have a big d*ck," while making disparaging and racist comments about Black women. Mitchell recently presented Trump with a "Man of the Century" award earlier this week.
