  • Election 2024: Kamala Harris on NBC vows to double federal minimum wage to $15

    Jump

  • And note that her wording was "at least $15", so she's signaling openness to doing more than that

  • Edited the title to say "doctor that" instead now

  • Texas sees record early-voting numbers, particularly in Democratic-leaning areas

    Jump

  • That too certainly :(

  • Texas sees record early-voting numbers, particularly in Democratic-leaning areas

    Jump

  • Note that the Senate race was closer last time in 2018 and is also closer in the polls. In 2018 that was 50.9% Cruz to 48.4% Beto (2.5% margin, ~200k votes)

  • Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

    Jump

  • Texas sees record early-voting numbers, particularly in Democratic-leaning areas

    Jump

  • There are usually fewer early voting locations compared to election day so with record turnout, the lines have been longer

    Republican areas tend to be less densely populated, so the number of people to voting locations ratio makes lines there generally less long

  • Trump abruptly cancels 'virtual roundtable' amid reports of 'exhaustion'

    Jump

  • He's actually stopped golfing recently (for security reasons), so who's to say if he can still golf

  • Kamala Harris to rally in Houston days before Election Day

    Jump

  • Harris leads Trump 2-1 among the earliest voters, many driven by abortion access: new poll

  • The Group Translating Project 2025 Into Spanish to Warn Old Latinos About Trump

    Jump

  • They did start it earlier. It's talking about work that's been ongoing

  • The Group Translating Project 2025 Into Spanish to Warn Old Latinos About Trump

    Jump

  • Republicans are claiming to voters that they "don't know anything about projects 2025". Despite supporting all the policies individually. There's still plenty of room to argue the electorate was duped by their lies should they win

  • Georgia passes 1 million early voting mark

    Jump

  • General consesus seems to be the early vote data looks good for dems overall. Some suggest that there maybe a slight increase in republicans switching from election day voting to early, but otherwise looks pretty good. Honestly would have expected more of that given that republicans theoretically made it a focus of their get out the vote to get people to vote earlier

    Analyzing early voting data can be a little tricky because of you can only look at those indirect metrics. I mean even with party registration it doesn't tell you if republicans are choosing not to vote for trump which the republican oversampling polling suggests we might see more of compared to 2020

  • Georgia passes 1 million early voting mark

    Jump

  • They don't release exit polling until after polls close on election day

    There is not direct data on who they are voting for, only demographic data. For instance, you can see that currently around 55% of early voters in Georgia are women. In some states you can also look at party registration but that doesn't tell you everything (people often don't update it) and a large chunk are not registered, but that can get you a good idea

  • Tim Walz defiantly defends trans people from Republicans’ “demonizing” attacks

    Jump

  • She defended trans people while on Fox in front of that republican audience. She shut down the line of anti-trans questioning fairly quickly

    She reaffirmed her commitment to following the law, which requires that transgender inmates receive medically necessary care, which includes gender affirming care. When pressed further, she pushed back, comparing Trump's disproportionate spending on this issue to his lack of focus on the larger issues affecting the American people.

  • Also note that one the link I sent earlier shows other volunteer opportunities like phonebanking and canvasing (door knocking)

  • Tim Walz defiantly defends trans people from Republicans’ “demonizing” attacks

    Jump

  • Walz promptly responded by discussing possible actions that he and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris could take.

    He talked about antidiscrimination laws he wanted, judge appointment, helping education about LGBTQ related topics, etc

    Mind you that Walz got a lot of policies through to help trans and queer people in Minnesota with a single seat majority

    He also was a founding faculity advisor of a gay-straight alliance in the early 90s when it was very not socially acceptable at all. He supported same-sex marriage before it was legalized nationally when running in a deep red seat despite that not really netting him any political points there

  • State of the Race: Don't freak out—get to work

    Jump

  • It's not at all certain we lose the senate. There's actually a real chance we win. If we flip Texas senate (super close) or Florida senate (fairly close) or squeek by in Montana, we can keep the senate

    Alternatively, we could also get a 49-50-1 senate if union-leader indepdent Dan Osborn flips Nebraska which polling suggests he is really got a chance to do. It's gone from a close race to a close race with osborn up slightly

    Recently leaked republican GOP senate internals suggest republicans are much more worried about it than they are publicly letting on
