Infrequent dem voters starting to come out. One more ballot drop like this in Maricopa and the Republicans are gonna have to start coming up with their conspiracy theories of how they lost 2026.
Overall, not the best drop today for Republicans in Maricopa County... After a few days of R+ drops, Dems lead today's D+1.2.
In the main seat that matters for Congress, #AZ01, Republicans lead R+5.5
Republicans lead overall R+0.9
I voted yesterday, have you?

Very little change in the topline number as the Republican ballot lead stays at ~12k as we are now up to 1.435M ballots returned in AZ.
Today was the biggest day for 0/3 and 1/3s yet, where Dems continue to expand their return rate leads.

There is something incredibly interesting happening right now in Democratic politics and it’s how men connect masculinity to fatherhood. It cuts through our politics’ harshness and the idea that masculinity is all bulging biceps.
I wrote about that here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…

More terrorism in the West Bank today, with impunity as always.
🚨 TODAY: Settler-terrorists attacked Andrey, Jasper and me. This video shows the assault.
Andrey was severely beaten and lost consciousness several times in front of police. Despite this, he was denied hospital treatment. He was put in an ambulance—but instead of being taken to hospital, he was taken to a police station.
He is still there, arrested and being denied medical care.
Jasper and I were also beaten. Jasper was then pepper-sprayed and arrested.

Polish FM Radosław Sikorski:
"There is a myth that has been successfully planted in the West that Russia always wins.
But things don't always go their way.
They lost the Crimean War. They lost the war against Japan. They emerged from World War I with their tails between their legs.
They lost the invasion of Poland. They lost Afghanistan. And they lost the Cold War.
So things can turn out very differently." - @sikorskiradek

.@AaronDFordNV and I stopped by El Mercado in Las Vegas to hear from small business owners. One thing was clear: In the Lombardo-Trump economy, prices keep rising, and hard work just isn’t cutting it anymore.
This election is an opportunity to change that.
Vote on or before November 3, Nevada. Let’s make Aaron Ford your next governor.

If only someone had told us…
NYT: Latinos Are Now America’s Most Important Swing Voters
In the 1990s, politicians fought for the support of soccer moms. In the 2010s, they competed for votes from white working-class voters. Now it is clear: Latinos are the most important swing voters of the 2020s
Democrats have made gains with Latinos over the past two years, winning back trust with a crucial group of voters who helped fuel President Trump’s return to the White House in 2024. Latino voters now favor Democrats over Republicans by 30 percentage points, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll

So wait, Musk did block Starlink, then went out denied it, literally pointed finger at US administration and the President as decision makers, then government debunked it and now 2 days later he says yes he did it and he has his reason. Wov. Just wov.. wild party at the island
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

Confusion after @elonmusk says Ukraine violated “terms of service” with Starlink so SpaceX closed a “loophole,” but then adds only USG controls Starshield.
So:
- If Starlink was the issue, then why was Starshield throttled?
- If Starlink loophole closed, why are speeds back?
