The U.S. sets higher standards for those who want to join the country than to lead it. If Trump were an immigrant, here are 21 awkward questions he’d have to answer truthfully to get a green card or become a U.S. citizen. (Warning: very long thread.) 1/ justsecurity.org/98855/good-…

Republicans want "freedom" to poison the air and water and manipulate financial markets, while forcing women to carry babies they don't want
ELON MUSK: “The larger government gets, the less individual freedom you have. I think that's really the core thing… Your freedoms have just been eroded year after year with more and more government, laws and regulations and regulatory authorities”

Trump promised mass deportations in ‘16 He failed. His deportation rate was well below Obama & Bush. What he cut was legal immigration. Today he’s making the same deportation promises while claiming he supports legal immigration More in @monthly: washingtonmonthly.com/2024/1…

I couldn’t have said it better myself, you hypocritical self-owned putz. (Watch the whole video to see for yourself.)
Marco Rubio: “For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media and voters at large, that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump.” (March 2016)

If Trump wins and the economy continues on its current trajectory, suddenly everyone will start saying its the best economy ever #FoxNewsLies
Despite widespread dissatisfaction w/the economy under Biden, urban centers & inner suburbs are the places where she can find the highest concentrations of voters likely to reject Trump anyway, b/c they view him as a threat to their rights, their values, and the rule of law.

It’s the Great Sort! Rs are leaving CA and NY for “safe states” like Florida and Montana (cf. Tester-Sheehy), while college-educated D’s are moving toward urban areas with professional jobs including Texas.
NYT/Siena also conducted polls in Florida & Texas While Harris predictably trails in both (and their Florida poll is a clear outlier), it points to a narrower Electoral College bias for Trump Florida 🔴 Trump: 55% (+13 rounded) 🔵 Harris: 41% Texas 🔴 Trump: 50% 🔵 Harris: 44%
