New CA Gov Poll dropped. We're up to 20 polls so far for our average. GOP candidates Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are currently the top two in this jungle primary state.

There's an alternate universe where Ted Stevens wasn't convicted of corruption and Norm Coleman holds on. Dems enter the 2009 session with only a 57-43 majority... but a lot of those Obama bills still would have still passed.

The counter of this is the GOP caucus was filled with people who were, genuinely, not very conservative. The Republican Senate delegation in 2009 consisted of: *Susan Collins *Olympia Snowe *Lisa Murkowski *Richard Lugar *George Voinovich *Kay Bailey Hutchinson There's a reason quite a few first-term Obama bills (Stimulus, Lilly Ledbetter, DADT repeal, Matthew Shepard) passed with some bipartisan support and had 64-70 votes.

The Obama 2009 Senate supermajority might be the fakest supermajority ever. It lasted only 72 working days while the Senate was in session, due to Franken being seated late and Ted dying. And it was full of 2009-era red-state conservadems that make 2021 Manchin look like AOC.

Using AI "respondents" is literally just making up fake data. Certainly not a poll by any reasonable definition. Firms that make up fake data are permabanned from Silver Bulletin averages and forecasts. There's no exception just because you used ChatGPT for your fake numbers.
Jacob Rubashkin@JacobRubashkin

Imagine trust in polling being at an all time low and then doing “polls” where a quarter of respondents are AI agents hallucinating answers based on exit polling.

One of the things making the Trump coalition notoriously prone to horrifyingly bad midterms: it consists of virtually everyone who doesn't care about politics. So it's not just a persuasion penalty they pay — the turnout one is worse too. (with @geoffreyvs + @ddhq podcast).

At some point news outlets are going to have to push back on the "Trump supporters are split over the war" narrative, because it's objectively just not true. There is an interesting divide between online MAGA influencers, but the MAGA voters clearly like the war.

The DDHQ Podcast recently discussed why Osborn and other left-leaning independent Senate candidates need to have a head-to-head race against GOP senators if they're going to improve their already-low chances of winning in November. Watch/listen here: decisiondeskhq.substack.com/p/kevin-kiley-…

Independent Dan Osborn wants a 1v1 shot at Sen. Pete Ricketts (R) in the 2026 #NESen race. To that end, most Nebraska Dems will likely support Osborn. But a court ruling yesterday makes it more likely that a spoiler Democratic candidate will be on the ballot in November.

Meng won re-election by 23 points despite her Queens-based, plurality-Asian seat trending from Biden+30 to Harris+6. One of the top Dem overperformers nationally.

NEW: The WFP Regional Advisory Council voted Monday to recommend endorsing @chuckforqueens – after previously rejecting his endorsement at an earlier meeting. WFP’s state officers will likely vote to formally endorse him later this week. cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…

Really wild statement here from Joe Kent, who appears to blame both the Syrian Civil War and the Iraq War (at minimum) on Israel. Israel did not take part in the Iraq War, and reportedly warned against the war. ipsnews.net/2007/08/politi…
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@trumwill @_alex_joshua They’re even doing a good job targeting entirely new audiences. My mom has never played with LEGOs in her life but she loves the LEGO Botanicals sets because they look pretty and have none of the upkeep of a real flower.

@trumwill @_alex_joshua Star Wars kits more or less started the licensed property stuff in the 90s, then Bionicle kits were the best selling toy in the world for 2-3 years. Lego learned the lesson. Licensed properties alongside custom-made action sets with a lore and world is the entire LEGO brand now.

Lego needs to go back to the 80s and 90s. Simpler sets, fewer brands (which hikes up prices) and more emphasis on imagination rather than something sitting on a Millennial's shelf. I wish they made sets like these again.

Lego is an interesting company. It initially started as a product for kids. But they almost went bankrupt in the early 2000s when kids switched to video games. Then they switched to selling toys to adults. Big technical sets that are $200–$850. They marketed it legos as a creative hobby. Saved their business. Now a big portion of their revenue is adults.

@JL7612 @trumwill @_alex_joshua It’s not that they switched audiences, you can still find dozens and dozens of Lego sets for a comparable price to what I paid as a kid. But the higher end of LEGO is now more like $600 and definitely targeted at adult collectors.

All of this to say: if you like hand-drawn animation, anime is really your only option. Theres a cultural barrier, but there’s a wide variety of 2D content across way more genres than we ever got in the US. I’d love a hand-drawn revival in the US but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Studios TRIED - they really did - to change that. Pocohantas was Oscar bait. The Prince of Egypt was a prestige picture aimed at older audiences than children. Both underperformed. Meanwhile Pixar made artsy 3D films that appealed all audiences and Shrek happened.
