FYI, Heinie Wagner and Butts Wagner are different people, but both were major league baseball players.
Heinie was born 146 years ago today, but Butts was born nine years prior.

Why does the Times quote her “like” and “um”s when they don’t for others and it’s against normal editorial ethics?

lots of interesting stuff in the crosstabs here but let’s start by highlighting trump’s eighty (80) percent disapproval among voters under 30
Marist now has a Texas poll (after their Iowa poll last night).
It has Talarico leading Paxton 50/44.
And Hinojosa leading Abbott 49/46. (All among registered voters.) maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/2026-m...

Do you trust the Trump regime to cancel health coverage for hundreds of thousands of people because they claim they couldn’t find them? We sure don’t.
Prayers up for these folks who may find out they lost coverage after it’s too late.

Memphians will not be fooled by Elon’s trickery—the unchecked proliferation of data centers in our city is not for the benefit of every day working people, it’s for the corporate elites and their henchmen who want to line their pockets by any means necessary.

There is a tremendous opportunity for the Democratic Party to truly engage working-class and Black voters. We need to put forward a different vision for this country that lifts up working-class, and marginalized communities.
