Trump is a whopping 50 points underwater on inflation in many polls, per new CNN analysis. No other president has come close. Another poll finds Dems +15 among indys in battle for House.
On the pod, @creynoldsnc.bsky.social is great on how Dems are expanding the map:

“If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody”
cornyn had a front row seat to trump treating other people exactly the same way for years and only now has come to this startling realization if u were wondering how fuckin self deluded these guys are
This is really the key thing for me, especially with the large Baby Boomer generation aging. bsky.app/profile/bcve...
We obtained documents detailing the abundance movement's "capital stack."
It's $260 million/year, including $100 million from former Microsoft CEO/LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who hadn't been listed as an abundance donor before.
The documents show Silicon Valley's role bankrolling the movement.
As Trump arrives at a negative poll milestone that no other president has reached, a Democratic strategist explains how we’ll know it if his travails starts translating into a serious midterm rout.
The AAUP chapters at Vanderbilt & Wash U have issued a joint statement denouncing the “State of Scholarship” report commissioned by their chancellors.
Please, let’s make this as widely read as the gaslighting to which it responds.

Theoretically, all Waymo taxis learn from the errors of all other Waymo taxis. Human drivers each make their own mistakes.
As someone starting to plan for retirement (w/the eventual loss of safe driving ability), I want Waymo to work!
I love driving, but realize it's not safe later in life.
If the most middle of the road, milquetoast, center-right Democrat in the race is workshopping this already, well...

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says Trump threw him under the bus.
“If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn says. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.“

I want you to notice how this article, which took two journalists to write, doesn't even bother to seriously explore whether the claims being made by companies are true
it's genuinely just not relevant to them
it's more like if you asked somebody else to do something, then they did what you asked them to
if you ask Jerry to draw something, you didn't draw it. the instant Jerry isn't available you can't do it, because you never could, and didn't
it simulates "I know a guy who can write bad emails for me"
