Eh Dooley went 4-19 in the SEC before getting fired in 2012 and never coached again Tuberville went undefeated in 2004 and won 50 games for Auburn, which is actually in the state
There are Tommy Tubervilles everywhere with those that have eyes to see them. Derek Dooley, former football coach at the University of Tennessee, appears to be seriously considering joining an already crowded Republican primary to take on Jon Ossoff. Good piece by @NilesGApol.
Really great message here - Trump promised to come in on day 1 and lose prices and instead he’s slashing your health care and is generally focused on the wrong things.
Rep. Torres: "Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine and so far has failed. He promised to release the Epstein Files, so far has failed. He said he would never touch Medicaid, he's cutting it by a trillion dollars. His economic policy has wreaked havoc on the American economy."
Totally the same thing - 2025: "Democratic Socialist vs. last Democrat elected Mayor vs. last Democrat elected Governor" for mayoralty of a big blue city (in election that should be nonpartisan) 2028: "MAGA or Moderate" for the country
If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.
6 months in the reviews aren't good for Trump. Strong disapproval ratings are increasing and he's losing support even on his strongest issues, like immigration.
Tragic & embarrassing to see a growing number of American Catholic young men openly embrace fascism & antisemitism.

Trump’s second term is six months old today His numbers? 🔻 Approval down 🔻 Even base is softening 🔻 Every issue down, even immigration But somehow… still more popular than Trump I. welcomestack.org/p/932-six-mont…
Do as I say, not as I raise $15 million in the first six months of the year and give nothing (that I can find on FEC) to swing district federal candidates
AOC rallying the crowd: “Every Republican in the state of New York must be challenged. Point blank. Period.” “I want republicans running for dog catcher to be challenged next year.” Much more rally than town hall at this point...
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” Saul Alinsky, Rule #5
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
I will repeat that many lawmakers treating social media as their primary sphere of feedback has done an immense amount of harm to the country, because the average top reply here is from someone 3 standard deviations more insane than the rest of society.
"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line"
Of the top 16 House fundraisers, 100% of GOP money is going to competitive races—while 91% of Democratic money is going to safe seats. Democrats are funding viral videos and list buys. Republicans are funding battlegrounds. This is a problematic trend.
Yes. Undocumented immigrants have lower crime rates than native-born Americans—e.g., in Texas, natives are 2x more likely to be arrested for violent crimes. Deporting them removes a low-crime group, raising the per capita rate if nothing else changes.
100%. The lesson for Democrats from the student loan forgiveness effort is never bother trying to appease the leftist activists. They are temperamentally disgruntled people and you will never win them over.
To be clear, loan forgiveness will never happen again because Biden took a significant political hit for doing it, and then the beneficiaries didn't just not vote for him - they actively campaigned against him because they are the dumbest, vainest mfers that ever lived.
I literally observed a focus group where the moderator tried to ask a bunch of young people “well did you know Joe Biden cancelled $80 billion of student debt though?!” and it literally made the whole focus group mad. “idk who got that because no one I know did!”
As a candidate this guy had a negative 6.4 WAR Willfully misleading people about “the Democratic Party” to divide and weaken. Not great!
Dem Party: We are spending $20M on how to talk to male voters. Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with men & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me. Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54?🤔 Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants & figure it out!
