It is tempting, in the Trump era, to question whether the laws of political physics still apply. But they still do. His agenda is extraordinarily unpopular and that will be made very clear in two weeks.

Democrats Have a Wide Lead in Our New Poll as Trump Slides

The map favors Republicans, but cracks in their base are leaving them vulnerable in defending House and Senate control.

This story is wild. @Georgesantos Part II?

A person listed in FEC records as a major donor to David Flippo’s campaign told Mother Jones they did not donate anything to Flippo—let alone the thousands of dollars attributed to them. That “suggests very serious campaign finance violations." motherjones.com/politics/202…

David Flippo has close ties to accused fraudster whose company spent lavishly on his behalf

Arizona Land Reserve, which the Nevada Republican listed as one of his biggest assets on his financial disclosure, cut $50,000 checks to conservative groups that endorsed him.

An absolute legend. So sorry to hear this.

Most on this site probably haven't heard of Mark Gersh, but I worked for him for 18 years, starting as a soph in college. He was a pioneer in political data/targeting, and that industry wouldn't be where it is without the foundation he built. He passed away today. Rest in peace.

Sounds right... "Diesel fumes and the distinct smell of fresh asphalt wafted from a Raleigh industrial plant Wednesday, as leaders from the Chamber of Commerce business lobbying group shouted over the engines of idling dump trucks to announce their support for Republican Michael Whatley in the 2026 U.S. Senate race." wral.com/news/nccapitol/nc-u…

Whatley doubles down on support for tariffs, Iran War, tax cuts

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is endorsing Republican Michael Whatley for his stance on tax cuts and deregulation, as he draws criticism for supporting tariffs and the war in Iran.

NEW and exclusive: A Democratic poll shared first with @TheNVIndy comes with caveats, but shows @TBT_NV well-positioned to flip a northern Nevada House seat Democrats have never won. Does she really have a chance? thenevadaindependent.com/art…

Does Teresa Benitez-Thompson stand a chance in deep red Northern Nevada? - The Nevada Independent

A new poll, promising pundit forecasts and national attention suggest she could flip this congressional seat with a blue tsunami behind her.

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad.

I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

New Emerson poll of IA is latest indication that concerns about toxic pollution in the state are significant. And it's not a lefty thing: 80% of Indy voters and 60% of Republicans say it's very important.

It was an honor to be at the Washington National Cathedral today to pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham. I got to know him in another era of American politics, when we worked together on market-based solutions for a cleaner climate... 1/2
