Headline: New Jersey special House election is another test of Trump’s popularity ahead of midterms Quote" “Trump is just making it extremely difficult for Republicans to do well anywhere, whether it’s foreign policy or domestic policy,” said Patrick Murray, who runs the polling firm Stimsight Research. “They all come together. People don’t like the war, but they also don’t like paying $4 a gallon for gas.”

The election in Virginia may be over, but the message is clear: Thanks to Trump's terrible policies and the Republicans' unwillingness to stand up to him, it will continue to be Democratic sweeps across the nation.

Psychological Research Finds Trump Supporters Are Not Doing Well A new three-part study dating back to 2019 found something troubling about the way Trump supporters justify their loyalty.

"While each study is highly complex in their own right, together they reinforce the finding that denial of factual information — Trump’s seedy misdeeds, basically — is a direct response to anxiety caused by cognitive dissonance."

It was the biggest and best "After Easter" Egg Hunt yet! Thank you to the hard work and wonderful spirit of our amazing volunteers to bring this incredibly fun day to the children of Greenwood!

This administration is a failure is every way imaginable.

People can't find jobs. Families can't afford basics. And now we're entrenched in a forever war that Trump promised wouldn't happen. All to distract from... well, you know from what.

Pay attention and vote accordingly later this year.

MeidasTouch BREAKING: Democrat Emily Gregory has won the Florida State House District 87 special election, defeating Republican Jon Maples and FLIPPING the seat from red to blue. This district includes Mar-a-Lago — right in Donald Trump’s backyard — and it’s one he carried by 11 points in 2024. Trump didn’t stay on the sidelines either. He actively promoted and backed Maples throughout the campaign. Despite that, Republicans still lost the seat — a notable flip in a high-profile, Trump-friendly district that’s sure to draw national attention.

This is wild, y'all. This is an election that Trump himself voted in! The news is a bit dated, but it's a big deal in case you missed it.

...(US Senate, US Congress, SC Governor, SC State House) we CAN create a firewall against these unconstitutional efforts. We CAN if we show up in numbers this election cycle. We CAN if we have the desire to do so.

This administration is a clear and present danger to your RIGHTS to participate in the democratic voting process.

While we can't change out the President right now, but by focusing on the local elections...

Have you seen the latest Fox News poll? 😂

An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.

I choose strategy over rhetoric. I choose action over distraction. I ask you choose to stand with me. Will you stand with me?

Democrats want to make it easier for eligible voters to participate. This can be done securely WITHOUT suppressing millions of other voters with onerous requirements. They WANT to make it so cumbersome that people give up.

Trump’s voter crackdown reaches college campuses The administration's moves to tighten voting rules could dampen student participation in a midterm election where control of Congress may be decided by small margins.

The Trump administration and their Republican lawmaking lackeys are doing everything possible to target populations of voters to make it more difficult for them to participate in their Constitutional right.

"The result is less a conversation than a performance or an exercise in groupthink — one that reinforces existing support rather than testing ideas or addressing concerns."

Orchestrated events vs. facing the music As Paul Hyde notes in his column on today’s Viewpoints page, there was a time when elected officials routinely placed themselves in front of constituents, took questions and answered them

The Lindsey Graham "meet and greet" in Greenwood was a farce. Interesting editorial in the IJ this weekend.

"Too often, what are labeled as 'town halls' or meet-and-greet events resemble curated experiences. Invitations are limited. Audiences are friendly. Questions are filtered." (cont)
