It is fun to watch the dog catch the car in real time.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying that even RFK has backed off on things like Measles and he's probably doing it from internal pressure. I would expect the same pressures to exist on Petey-boy

Something I would note here is that the entire institution has seemed to get far more nervous about jumping the gun on things like TDAP and MMR than they are on the mRNA platforms and flu.

Even the former band of yahoos at ACIP were leery about pushing too hard in those directions.

excuse me

I mean the SCOWIS candidate literally won Okauzakee and had Waukesha at 45% lmao

Special elections seem to be much more tied to Trump's approval than the GB at the moment as well, I don't think we can say for sure that this is the year of the Suburbia apocalypse for the GOP, but it's kind of feeling like its possible.

Any man who dates a single woman with children is a predator. Check. God these people are nuts.

I am not attempting to predict an outcome. I am simply saying that there is historical precedent for this exact thing and it looks a very specific way. With someone as boring as Smith-Hyde I doubt it happens, but if the incumbent president dips into the low 30s it could

Thr way this looks is the way Jones won. Turnout is heavily tilted towards groups that are opposed to the incumbent and the lunatics stay home.

This is a profoundly stupid thing for a president in the upper 30s to say lmao

A girl told me I smell because I don't wear deodorant and should shave and now I am in favor of repeating women's right to vote.

Generally mid 30s is when the primaries and generals in purple districts are one sided against the incumbent enough that people start to peel off to try and secure reelection.

Lmao

Feels like Trump has lost another 2-3 points of approval and we're in the upper 30s now. Mid 30s, as a note, is when the danger zone hits.

My father in law drinks the strongest coffee known to man at 8pm and still is somehow out like a light at 10pm. It's inhuman

Notable that Erick, son of Erick, who has a good pulse on GOP internals, thinks that Ohio is far more gone than Alaska based on everything we've seen.

Generally speaking, I think most of 2026 is going to come down to whether or not the map is limited to the R +10 seats, or if you start to get into the Fitzpatrick territory where popular incumbents get ousted in R +12-13 seats.

The second universe is one where dems take the senate.

Good thing the American system is designed to allow for big, sweeping changes and n- *taps earpiece*

Oh, oh dear.

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

This honestly sounds like the massive set of contradictory demands and threats that Trump typically makes that usually ends him in backing off.

so it looks like we're having an ordinary, fulfilling, and quiet Monday

Space is cool Sharon.

WHAT DID GARY NELSON KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT

Everything about this is amazing and I'm having a lmao.

Theoretically the reason why other presents have not similar things during bad economies is the political damage is extreme.

two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

lol

Getting towards the danger zone.

the fun part of the entire thing is it doesn't matter, because Trump will be so pressured to present it as an utter win that he'll contradict anything they agree to!
