It’s just weather. All those people- they pay 0 attention to politics and have no idea they’re giving up rights to have nice winters. The single biggest transformation of the South is from the invention of air conditioning

Nearly all net-positive interstate migration in the US is to the worst states in the country, make it make sense What we *should* be doing is acknowledging that nearly every red state is a failed state and unpacking why that is and emulating what the blue/purple states are doing

KLB nomination just a bizarre own goal, no idea why she is this popular amongst the primary electorate. Ultimately the opposition might not have been strong enough.
Niles Francis@NilesGApol
The Dem decision to not go negative on KLB early is starting to look like a MASSIVE mistake

@RachelBitecofer I wish Shenna Bellows would jump races from Governor to Senator. I assume it's too late.

Predictable AI ad painting Platner as a thug.
Rs will stop at nothing to win
Senate Republicans@NRSC
Chuck Schumer just coronated Graham Platner as the Democrat nominee in Maine. Meet Graham Platner.

Welp, we lost minority voting rights today.
Lost since leftists started voting 3rd party in 2000:
-Voting rights
-Climate change legislation
-Abortion rights
-Minority voting rights
-3 forever wars
-Progressive taxation
Is this the revolution Susan Sarandon assured was coming?

@JohnHolbein1 It's bad. But banning it infringes on personal freedoms. It just needs strong regulation.

"The legalization of mobile sports gambling in America was a policy mistake and that the evidence is now clear enough to say so."
English
It’s one I made.
When I fuck up something I admit it and I was wrong about legalizing gambling because I had no idea it would evolve to the point where they do it from phones.

@RachelBitecofer Asylums aren't great but they're better than jails for people with mental health needs.
English
Our national policy is releasing crazy people who’ve committed crazy person crimes back onto the streets.
The need for a federal mental health program that includes involuntary commitment for psychosis
and addiction is a hill I will die on.

@RachelBitecofer People are underestimating GA's 7th Congressional District (Rich McCormick)
English
Update:
The D’s shaved about 16 pts off of Trump’s 2024 margin.
Here’s a list of Republican-held House races that could be vulnerable with a +15 point improvement for D’s.
Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆@RachelBitecofer
By the way, that GA special tonight to fill MTG’s seat is in a district Trump won by 37 points so the bar can’t be set at winning it. I expect a lot closer margin and even that will be a W If dude was to actually win that would be the political equivalent of a 9.0 earthquake.

@RachelBitecofer ADM Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, was someone I respected before. He was even a White House Fellow under Obama. Let's see if he'll follow illegal orders.
English
Two military generals were sentenced to death at Nuremberg for following and issuing illegal orders from their crazy Commander-in-Chief.
They were convicted of
Conspiracy to wage aggressive war
Crimes against peace
War crimes
Crimes against humanity

@RachelBitecofer We're trying to oust @RepMcCormick in GA-7. Tall order but he's very unlikable.

Here are the 3 tiers of Republican-held House seats that are within the realm of feasibility if the midterm effect is as large as it has been, with Ds flipping red districts with majority R voters.
Tier 3 is where D’s need to hit to have any hope of the senate majority.

@I_Choose_Wisdom @RachelBitecofer And what evidence do you have? I know who some of them are and can share their resumes. I guarantee you they're qualified.
English
@RachelBitecofer It's probably because they've been promoted beyond their skill set due to "diversity" policies.
English
Seem to have been targeted? Seem?
NBC News@NBCNews
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden administration policies or officials, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

@HughEverett @RachelBitecofer They didn't see it coming. But the text is so broad that there can't be exceptions even if there were hypotheticals they didn't think of. I'm fine with giving up future birthright citizenship in exchange for amnesty for all who haven't broken any other laws like Reagan did in 86.
English
@RachelBitecofer We’re trying to end the ridiculous practice of “Birth Tourism”, where pregnant women fly into the US to deliver anchor babies. The authors of the 14th Amendment never saw this coming.
English
They want to strip citizenship from Latinos, just like the Nazis did to German Jews.
Stephen Miller@StephenM
Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.
English
@RachelBitecofer @TheRickWilson @KatyTurNBC I watched a forum run by @TrainDems focused on Ds running in red districts. They encouraged Ds to not nationalize their race 🤦♂️. Yet at the same time, they told a story of a candidate in Arkansas whose husband was deported by ICE and won by turning out Hispanics voters.
English
Omg please @TheRickWilson fix @KatyTurNBC who is dead wrong that Ds should be running about themselves and not a referendum strategy to enhance the midterm
It ain’t complicated!!!
English
@HughEverett @RachelBitecofer But Trump is okay to order prosecutions of James Comey, Letitia James, and Biden?
English
@RachelBitecofer Democrats’ extreme prosecution of Trump got him reelected.
Voters don’t like evil retribution. Democrats never learn.

He’ll look the same way during his trial for human rights violations.

@KyleSherman All status offenses should be solely up to parents to enforce, not law enforcement (unless they can prove parental neglect is involved).

This is wildly misleading. The regulated cannabis market won’t even let a minor through the front door. IDs are checked multiple times, every sale is tracked, and dispensaries are more heavily regulated than bars and liquor stores.
If teens are accessing “weed” more easily, look at the synthetic hemp products being sold at gas stations with zero age verification thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. That’s not the regulated cannabis industry. That’s the unregulated market the government created by refusing to regulate hemp properly.
Don’t blame the regulated legal cannabis for a problem caused by the lack of regulation everywhere else.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Legalization of recreational marijuana by many states has made it easier for teens to get access to highly potent and convenient forms of the drug, creating new hazards for teen health. Here’s what the science says about cannabis and teens: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4usraCh

A Trump nominee agreed that you could “abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” This is who Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Senate Republicans want to put in lifetime judgeships.

@AmandiOnAir @ERodCBS4 @MaElviraSalazar @DHCFMiami @dccc Aaron Parnas's dad is also running but he's probably not the best candidate for a majority Hispanic/ Latino district.
English
OMG … He’s in!
Dream candidate, legendary Cuban American news anchor and Miami-Dade icon @ERodCBS4 just made it official.
He’s running as a Democrat against MAGA Republican Congresswoman @MaElviraSalazar in #FL27
Eliott Rodriguez can WIN and flip this seat blue! #ImWithEliott

@RachelBitecofer @Starbucks I wish they wouldn't bust the unions even though many of the organizers are the FAR left

@PowerlinePunk @RachelBitecofer As a Jewish person, I think there's truth to both. Educated informed people don't have an issue with all Jews but some younger uninformed people turn anti-Zionism into anti-Semitism.
English
@RachelBitecofer I don’t think people have an issue with Jews, but rather the current government of Israel. Netanyahu is toxic.
English
Which is terrifying for the survival of Jews who make up 0.2% of the world’s population (Holocaust cut their population in half) and control just one country.
English
@RachelBitecofer I just wish the other Democratic option weren't 79 years old.

My job is to tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear:
Do y’all want to have to defend his Nazi tattoo to flip Maine when Collins has won against the midterm effect before??
As the caller points out: “I didn’t know” conflicts with “I am a WWII buff.”
