Rs dropped six new polls today. So in the last 9 days they've dropped 32 Senate polls in 14 states by 7 pollsters.
It's a manic, desperate effort, and no one should be fooled by what they are doing. 1/

This is really getting out of hand. There are DOZENS of court cases in which Dem groups are fighting to protect trans people from the horrors that are underway. Members of Congress don’t have standing to be the plaintiff in most suits (Joyce Beatty does because she’s on the Kennedy Center Board)…

So in the last 8 days desperate Rs have dropped 26 Senate polls by 7 pollsters in 14 states. They've done this kind of stuff before but the manic intensity of the effort suggests a level of desperation consistent with spiking gas prices, escalating global chaos, and a deteriorating battlefield.

If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail ballots
TRUMP: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Trump has been around since 2015. His appeal to irregular voters is one of the most thoroughly over-analyzed aspects of US politics. Apparently the secret is to appear to them as a magical creature that will take their venal impulses and manifest them onto reality

there's a lesson here about "centrist" meaning actual policy vs "centrist" meaning "unwillingness to wield power independent of policy". no one will learn it though

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting

1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.”
