D-R turnout gap swing is everywhere, including key Black Belt counties, the huge vote blocks in Wake and Mecklenburg, and almost all of Western NC. The breadth of these numbers are so strong that I think the NCGA House is in play.

So Maralago Fats totally misses the Beast and instead goes for a dementia stroll while the secret service scurries around him to redirect him back to the car. He’s basically little more than a barely walking , talking Trump steak.

Trump’s October surprise? His own desperation. All those campaign rallies, all that effort, all that hype, only to end up with a half empty stadium.

Iran is back to trolling him again.

"The approval rating of the sitting president, has become the single most important factor in shaping midterms." Ron Brownstein chats with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social about the president's low approval ratings and how those ratings will translate in the upcoming midterm elections.

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

Trump and Elon Musk gutted the IRS so it couldn't audit and investigate wealthy tax cheats. In the process, it kneecapped IRS customer service, and now everyday taxpayers—the ones who aren't cheating—are deal with the infuriating fallout, as my colleague @smencimer.bsky.social reports.

This meme is actually based on a real scientific finding. Researchers studying howler monkeys found that males with larger vocal organs producing deeper, more powerful calls tended to have smaller testes, while species with larger testes tended to have less-developed vocal organs. So, there ya go.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its

Michael Jackson performed with Mitch McConnell for 20 min today. But seriously, @govandybeshear.bsky.social needs to just call a special election. Let the Republicans prove Mitch is alive. #KYSpecialElection

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

I overlayed yesterday’s footage of Trump wandering off at the G7 on this video of Hannity describing Biden as dazed and confused at the G7

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

"Every so often someone expresses their understandable frustration with the party of governance by threatening to withhold their vote in the general election.(. . .)But this is foolish at best, and it rests on a misunderstanding of what it even means to act as a party in politics."

Not every vote is in (the outlined counties don't have >95% counted, and Maverick hasn't reported at all), but this shows the swing between Harris' margin in '24 and the Dem margin in yesterday's primary turnout. You can see in south Texas the shifts were >100%.

Jeffries: "You got some people in the town who go to church and pray on Sunday, and then they come to Congress and prey on the American people. I'm not down with that kind of faith. That's not the faith that comes out of the Gospel."

NEW: We're entering a crowded month of elections.... so do you know what to track in May?! We've prepared our guide: 25 elections you should watch this coming month. On the menu: JD Vance’s half-brother; a DA who's clashed with Elon Musk; conservative school board takeovers, and a lot more.

It’s the Canadian elections tomorrow! And no election night is wasted with me, so I’m looking forward to following. (And hope you’ll follow along.) Some polls out east will close starting at 6:30pm ET (8:30 local time), but bulk of poll closures will be much later, after 930pm ET.
