  1. "As Kamala Harris weighs another run in 2028, the #DemocraticParty faces a split over #Israel policy. A new report suggests it may have cost votes in 2024. With a base that has shifted dramatically, can the party keep up with what its voters now expect?"

  2. @KimPerales Serious or not, the #Trump #kakistocracy DOES *represent* the #UnitedStates in the eyes of the world. They WON the #2024election.

    #DonaldTrump famously said after his first primary win in #Nevada prior to the #2016election “I love the poorly educated!”

    I can’t say this politely, but if the #USA doesn’t reform its SHITTY 💩 #PublicEducation system (look at the goddam #PISA rankings, or any other measure), then it WILL become a #Russia of the West.

    #Resist intelligently!

  6. Why aren't Democrats up by 20 points if President Trump is unpopular? G. Elliott Morris explores the intriguing polling gap, revealing that many who disapprove of President Trump are still not ready to vote for Democrats. A significant portion of these "softer disapprovers" remain undecided or lean Republican. Dig deeper into G. Elliott Morris's analysis: gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is- #2024Election #Polling #Politics

  7. In case anyone needs a reminder on the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' position on the Trump presidency: abortion remains its "preeminent priority."

    They are welcome to repent of helping install this evil at any time.

The evidence that supporting #Israel’s genocide in #Gaza was an electoral liability for Biden and subsequently Vice President Kamala Harris is overwhelming and undeniable."

  15. Joe Biden Steps Down from 2024 Presidential Race

    President Joe Biden has decided not to run for president in 2024. He announced his decision on July 21, 2024. He said he believes Vice President Kamala Harris should lead the Democratic Party. This comes after many Democrats worried about his chances in the election.

  16. #Democrats #2024election #DNC C’mon Ken, release the report. I’ll recreate a summation of what I think is or should be in it: Democrats lost miserably to the most inept, narcissistic, egomaniacal presidential candidate in US history and to a fascist Republican Party because we focused too much attention on fundraising and piss poor messaging. This should never have happened. We should have acknowledged the pain voters felt from inflation. We ran candidates because the party elites hand picked them, not because Democratic voters wanted them. We put way too much emphasis on social issues without educating voters on what those social issues meant. We came across as preaching and browbeating voters and not empathizing with their pain. In short, we fucked-up. Anyone have anything to add?

  17. @QasimRashid This ⬆️ is #AmericanCarnage2.0 , which was easily anticipated by anybody who experienced #AmericanCarnage 1.0 and read #Project2025 before the #2024election. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    #Americans are slowly realizing that there is no such thing as #AmericanExceptionalism.

    #FAFO #karma comes for everyone!

    #Resist the #kakistocracy in #USpol.

  18. @KimPerales Less than a majority of #Americans were poorly educated enough to vote for #AmericanCarnage2.0, in the #2024election. But a plurality did.

    So 2025 is the Year of #FAFO in #USpol.

    Buckle-up!

  19. A selection from Dorothea Lange’s #DustBowl photos was the @wikipedia ‘Picture of the day’ on Nov. 18th. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template

    Given the forecast #Trumpcession that would be part and parcel of #AmericanCarnage2.0, and the way the majority of folks in #Missouri voted in the #2024election , you can look 👀 at the #Depression photos to see what #MAGA morons apparently think were ‘the good old days’. But they might call them “the GREAT old days!”

  20. @nswigger #WeirdGOP is a thing. ✅

    Unfortunately, although it was trending in the #fediverse during the #2024election , it didn’t catch on with a plurality of voters in the #UnitedStates when it needed to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  21. A new poll shows Republican voters are losing confidence in Trump’s ability to govern, with approval dropping to just 36%, near his lowest ever. Amid the longest government shutdown, dissatisfaction grows, and efforts by Trump allies like Mike Johnson to shift blame to Democrats have largely failed, backfiring as over half of Americans now see Republicans as responsible. Independents’ support has plummeted from 38% to 25%. The poll underscores a shifting political landscape—hardly a boost for Trump’s 2024 bid. Will these declines reshape GOP strategies?

  22. @johnlogic #DonaldTheDeplorable was impeached twice during his 1st term of inflicting #AmericanCarnage on behalf of his puppet master #Putin aka #Qanon.

    He became an adjudicated rapist and 34-count convicted felon after losing the #2020election but before poorly-educated #Americans voted for #AmericanCarnage2.0 in the #2024election and here we are in it 💩.

    My point is there is NOTHING NEW about him breaking the law and violating the #Constitution.

    Cowardice in #USpol is new.

  23. Dick Cheney, vice-president and giant of Republican politics, dies aged 84

    Dick Cheney, the divisive US vice-president under George W Bush who helped lead the country into a disastrous invasion of Iraq, died on Monday, his family has said. He was 84.

    Cheney at various times held the roles of member of Congress, White House chief of staff and secretary of defense, but it was as one of the country’s most powerful vice-presidents that he had the biggest impact, wielding great influence over the less experienced Bush.

    theguardian.com/us-news/2025/n

    The Guardian notes that Cheney will be remembered for his role in the utterly unjustified US invasion of Iraq in 2003. And this is undoubtedly true.

    But I'll have to comment on my own strong upward revision of my impression of him (granted, from a low initial level) for his opposition to the Orange Turd, and his 2024 statement that his vote would be cast for the Democratic candidate for President, Kamala Harris. In 2008 I'd considered him one of the darkest figures in US politics. That is no longer the case, by a long shot.

  24. The #Constitution gives us the right to #protest and the right to #vote IF we exercise that right! #TRUMP won the #2024Election because of the tainted #ElectoralCollege and too many didn't vote!

  25. Return of Paper #Ballots! #DominionVotingSystems voting machine behemoth #Trump & allies baselessly attacked after #2020election sold 2 Missouri-based company run by former #Republican election official. #Dominion is one of biggest #election equipment providers and was used by 27 states during the #2024Election.

  26. Donald French, Michelle Goldberg, and Jamelle Bouie dissect Trump’s 2024 win: despite claimed mandates, approval remains low (38-41%). They highlight a narrow 1.5% popular vote margin, angry Democrats, and overlooked voter consequences, especially in Medicaid policy shifts affecting Republican bases.

  30. “She Won” election conspiracy theories defy belief and do not help

    Over the past two weeks, I’ve seen a few friends share a post alleging a sweeping conspiracy to steal the presidential election–not the 2020 election, as Donald Trump and his cult followers have been alleging without proof ever since, but the 2024 contest. These friends have not vouched for the theory put forth in that post and a series of others posted at a newsletter site; at most, they’ve said things along the lines of “these raise interesting questions.”

    So I read those “This Will Hold” posts and a separate report posted by a group called the Common Coalition. To summarize thousands of words of copy: They allege that surprising results in swing states and even individual counties–notably, voters choosing Democrats downballot and then picking Trump or not voting for any presidential candidate–are too statistically unlikely to be the result of voters making their own choices and instead are the result of an elaborate plot involving compromised Tripp Lite uninterruptible power supplies that were remotely reprogrammed on Elon Musk’s orders via SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to change vote totals on Dominion and ES&S voting systems.

    No, really. Speaking as a tech journalist who has written a fair amount about SpaceX and as a poll worker who has put in 15-plus hour days helping people to vote in nine elections: I’m sorry, but I can only regard them as engagingly-written claptrap. 

    Here’s why I think that:

    • If so many UPSes were shipped with hidden cellular modems and antennas to election offices in counties, cities and states run by Democratic administrations, how have none of them surfaced? (Bear in mind, election offices don’t have huge budgets to buy high-end hardware. I have never seen anything but generic power strips in my own polling places.)
    • At the end of 2024 and still today, Starlink’s only widely-available service to phones is text messaging. SpaceX has done limited tests of data, but Elon Musk was willing to roll the dice on that working clandestinely in dozens or hundreds of devices across the U.S.? 
    • Trump or Musk tweeting out absurd claims or preditions is no kind of proof or confession, because they both shitpost all the time while rarely intersecting with reality.
    • No part of this extensive conspiracy inside SpaceX has leaked at any point, even as SpaceX employees have come forward to accuse Musk of sexual harassment and indifference to workplace safety at considerable risk to themselves. 
    • This Will Hold’s posts don’t mention the “risk-limiting audits” that a growing number of states conduct to check for exactly this kind of post-election ballot tampering. Nevada’s, for example, found “no variations” from the reported results. Ignoring risk-limiting audits in a theory of election fraud is an enormous tell, because election-integrity experts will tell you they’re as essential as hand-marked paper ballots scanned by machines (which is why every state should adopt them). See, for example, the National Academies’ 2018 report Securing the Vote: Protecting American Democracy.
    • If people really had cast votes for Harris that somehow vanished, why have we not seen that variance in post-election polling and surveys of voters? See, for example, the data-science firm Catalist’s “What Happened in 2024” analysis and the Pew Research Center’s just-published report on 2024 turnout.
    • Many voters really did leave the presidential part of their ballot blank. In Virginia (where the first warnings of a Kamala Harris loss were returns from Loudoun County showing her underperforming Biden’s 2020 numbers), the former vice president got 2,335,395 votes while Sen. Tim Kaine (D) got 2,417,115 votes. In my state and, it seems, others, her problem was Trump getting more turnout from 2020 voters and from new voters than she did.
    • Musk spending $250 million and change to persuade those people to vote probably did shape the outcome. So did Trump lying about his opponent and a great many other things while presenting himself as an icon of never-surrender success, with Fox News amplifying all that. But the die may have been cast when Joe Biden decided to run for reelection despite evident trouble selling his message and then not dropping out until July of 2024—leaving Harris to answer the hardest call to the bullpen in American presidential-election history. 

    The unfortunate and ugly reality is that American voters showed awful judgment last November, and we are now all paying the price for that. There’s just a meanness in this world, as Springsteen sings, and our country is not and has never been exempt from it. Conspiracy theories might help people think otherwise, but this kind of self-delusional behavior will not help write a different script for 2026 and 2028.

    One-hundred years later #Americans witnessed the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt in #Washington DC that had a similar authoritarian goal but with a different result. 🙏

    Can we #resist a *self-inflicted* #coup at the ballot box during the #2024election ? 🤔

  37. @infobeautiful As a consolation prize for being #uncommitted during the #2024election , #ArabAmericans will receive a 10% discount when they book a holiday on the ‘Riviera’ of the #MiddleEast ‘coming soon’ - conditional on getting a visa from #Israel. 🤷🏻‍♂️
