@KobeissiLetter This might be one of the most stupid-ass graphs I've ever seen. Do we expect birthrate to compound over time?

What is happening here? The US birthrate is now down -30% since pre-2008 levels while financial wealth is at record highs. Why? Because only asset owners are able to afford this economy. As shown in our below analysis, this crisis accelerated in both 2008 and 2020. And, with every recession and every round of inflationary economic stimulus, the crisis simply accelerates even further. Now, we are seeing the biggest divergence between the S&P 500 and the US birth rate in history. The result? Tons of young Americans simply cannot afford to have kids in another sign of the "K-Shaped" economy. The US is facing a massive demographic crisis.

@ernietedeschi @tolstoybb The point is fair, but this is a great example of how to lie with statistics. How many people in Europe vs. USA?

@tolstoybb Always interesting to see how many deaths Europeans & Americans are willing to tolerate, and for which priorities.

Slovenia vs Albania

@scottlincicome "Wait what" is right - what terrible journalism. Who in their right mind looks at that sentence and says this is an adequate level of context for the story? And curiously, who is "Maryland"?

"The explanation Maryland gave for the spike is that the first estimate was just to secure federal emergency relief funding." Wait what.

@DarkTechMonitor @RadioFreeTom Dumbest fuck on the internet right here, take a look.

@RadioFreeTom ...The Hatch Act doesn't apply at his level. I thought you taught the military, how do you not know this?

A violation of the Hatch Act, among so many reasons that it’s a bad idea.

@ArmandoNDK @Taniel Who needs to be reappointed when you can just collect millions from Republican donors in retirement? Cheapest seats they ever bought.

@Taniel Well we know 4 VA justices who aren’t getting reappointed

In response to redistricting rulings that have gone against them over the last 18 months, Utah Republicans (1) passed a law to pack their supreme court and are about to name 2 new justices, & (2) have launched a major push to oust two justices in their retention races this fall.

Dear @WhiteHouse: I’m Chinese American. I read donald trump’s racist post below. Please tell donald trump I said fuck you. See you in November.

GOP - *gerrymanders* DEMS - hey stop that no fair GOP - *gerrymanders even more* DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely* DEMS - *start gerrymandering* GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

Very funny how the GOP started the redistricting war, lost, and are now crying about it. Truly this it is the loser party. Just a big mob of whiny babies who love to shove people around but scream and pout and roll around on the ground whenever somebody fights back.

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

@samshirazim I'm not sure you can make a cogent arugment for why Asians, Blacks, and Latinos would be more in favor of "Yes", but the argument for younger, poorer people feeling that way (and the converse) seems pretty self explanatory.

@samshirazim Let's call a spade a spade. Sure you can classify by race, but those maps correlate for wealth in FFX as well, and you can't argue one without the other.

Ok last post Good reminder that Black, Asian, and Hispanic voters big part of Virginia Dem coalition Another election showing a shift from 2024 Also reason why Yes won Also mailers invoking Jim Crow for No didn’t work and probably backfired

@JMilesColeman An extinction level event for Republican representation in congress, and they only manage to shave 3 points off 2024? They were voting for their political lives, while Democrats were holding their nose to vote for something didn't like and Indies stayed home.

A quick "trend" map from 2024 president to the 2026 redistricting vote. Yes underperformed Harris by about 3 points overall. It underpeformed her by more than that in red localities.

@decunningham2 Your tweet is outright embarrassing. Mid april election asking the a moderate state to give Ds a 10-1 advantage? "only" passed by 5?

This is looking like a 3-5 point win, Coming off a 15-point gov win and a 6-point presidential win - and in a D+3 environment - this is honestly outright embarrassing. It's a win, but this is basically stretching what voters there are willing to tolerate.

@BoLoudon This is an amazing tweet.

@Slimbo456 @ZacharyDonnini Now where did this off-cycle gerrymandering start? I'll hang up and wait for your answer.

@ZacharyDonnini Florida will come and show Virginia how it’s done!!! Eye for an eye!! I will see Democrats crying in Florida. Just like republicans are crying in Virginia. It’s all a game. We’re all dumb voters. None of these politicians are about us.

@RedLineNewsUSA Can't wait for all you leeches to leave the state so we can stop paying for your schools and roads while you sit at home and collect disability.

Virginia Congressional Redistricting is going to pass. How would you react if you lived in Virginia? If Republicans acted like Democrats, cities would burn tonight.

@RedLineNewsUSA You know this is true because Texas burned to the ground.

@talkint01 @samshirazim You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. I'm sure that whatever you do for a living, you're fucking terrible at it.

@Raonoid @samshirazim Ehhhh to many government employees.

Yes winning Prince William County early vote big NOVA anger at DOGE has not gone away Will continue to haunt Virginia GOP

@BillKristol Old enough to remember when FFX was moderately purple, 55/45 elections. Before Rs decided they would make government employees an out-group.

O Fairfax, Fairfax! wherefore art thou Fairfax?
