@Acyn This guy was a random filmmaker 10 years ago. How did he turn out to be one of the most talented politicians of his generation?

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.
But JD came to UGA to attack the pope two days after Trump depicted himself as Jesus Christ. The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice, while he and his family rake in billions from foreign princes.

@ellievhall He writes how DJT would imagine an illiterate italian to write. Did you even ever meet Paolo in person???

Fun fact about Paolo Zampolli, the guy who introduced Trump to Melania:
He owned a building 1 block away from the old BuzzFeed NYC office and would rent some of its apartments on AirBnB. I stayed there a lot (proof attached, he gave me great reviews). This was part of the decor:

@WorldWideWob "let other guys dribble the ball" -> is this KD's way of saying "you try, if you think you so good" to all his teammates?

Here is every single Rockets half-court possession in the clutch.
Please watch the different coverages on KD and his reactions.

The Rockets just scored 4 total points in the final 6:12 of that game.

They also moved towards him the least in 2024, they’re a very inert demo right now for some reason.
Emma Vigeland@EmmaVigeland
The demo where Trump’s support has declined the least is with Americans over 65 years old. Keep that in mind when he repeats how he’ll keep existing home prices high so this cohort doesn’t lose any property value on their split-level 3 BR that grew by 300% over 30 years.

@ettingermentum Can you explain why Haley Stevens is still in it? From everything I have seen, she is a blabbering disaster in interviews. She doesn't have a particularly compelling House voting record. And she looks like a fake AI character.
English
Yet another case of old voters liking social media politicians far more than young voters (see also: Newsom and Crockett)

@ettingermentum why did Kamala even bother trying to meet and have an interview with him? It has always been obvious he was posing as somewhat-impartial to capture a broader audience.

@tedfrank same argument can be applied to any market, no? including the stock market
English
So the reason this Polymarket “prediction market” is performing so insanely high is because there’s a second market asking if this market will go above 5%. People in the derivative market are manipulating this market. Which defeats the public policy case for prediction markets…

@tysonbrody getting the country into war to make money thru insider trading on Polymarket is truly crazy
English
Some war related insider trading? A brand new account in polymarket, only invested in US going to war with Venezuela and Maduro out by January 31. Up 13k so far, was spending thousands on Maduro out at bargain prices as recently as 4 hours ago. Now it’s at .50.

@lxeagle17 is it just regression to the mean? low propensity, non-white voters coming back to the Dems, and non-white contrarian voters voting for the party out of power?
English
It's better to win than it is to lose, so Democrats will take whatever they can get. They're also in a much better position in the House now than they were in 2018 (215 seats vs 194), so even the smallest gain will see them flip it. But this is a way more inefficient wave too.
English
Everyone keeps likening 2018 to 2026, but they couldn't be more different. This is a very, very different type of blue wave.
2018 was defined by Democratic gains with college-educated whites. 2026 is non-whites and non-college, low-propensity voters.

@lxeagle17 Is there evidence that moderation leads to the approx. same overperformance shift on safe-red seats (~R+15) as for lean-red seats (~R+5)?
English
The problem with a lot of academic arguments of "is moderation useful" is that they claim it's useless because moderates lost a lot of R+15 seats, not recognizing that you can overperform and still lose — and if you overperformed by that amount in an R+5 seat, you'd win.
English
One of the things roiling Democrats right now is that people look at folks who moderated like this in R+20 seats, overperformed by 10, and lost. Then, they say "well, what's the point?"
But if Democrats in R+10 seats did this, they'd win way more often.
Cassie Pritchard@hecubian_devil
I still need to do a proper read-through of Simon’s Deciding To Win analysis, but the biggest problem I always have with this argument is: all these guys lost in 2010, 2012, or 2014. They didn’t go woke; they ran as Blue Dogs and got BTFO’d. Especially 2010 is pre-woke.

Maine Politics@ME_Politics_
Mills has 97% approval among Dems in Maine per the June UNH poll. If she entered the race, she would be the immediate favorite. Platner has started his campaign strong, but Maine Dems want to beat Collins and whoever they think can do that will get their vote #mepolitics

This is prob too technical a post to try tweet within the character limit. But trying to give ppl a window into the actual MATH of elections, not just *vibes*.
Like, Ohio is Dems best pickup, and Ossoff really isnt in that much danger, but you'd never know that from reading ET.
English
Late night math lesson:
The avg midterm favors the outparty by ~4%.
Incumbency on avg is worth ~3%
- Appointed incs gain no bonus
Off these alone (i.e. not candidate quality), it's clear why Senate Dems are targeting Ohio. By FAR their best shot on paper at gains after NC/ME.
