  1. Love Tommy, but the numbers say he isn’t the lone threat. Scheffler sits around +2.5 SG total per round, Rory ~+1.5, Fleetwood ~+1.7 (elite, top-5 but still a tier down). To actually catch them he needs a long-term bump in distance, irons and putting – and Rahm/Xander/Ludvig are in that race too.

  2. Winning blueprint for Dems next 2 cycles: treat 2024 as a turnout problem, stop chasing “Biden Republicans,” go loud on abortion, democracy, wages & housing, and pour money into year-round local organizing that turns Gen Z & working-class nonvoters into regular voters. Charismatic male P/VP can's.

  3. Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

    Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics

This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000.

Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts.

Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age.

Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts.

Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations.

The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

  4. The news when Joe Biden goes to extraordinary lengths to NOT blend family and governance: “What is he hiding, a 90-part investigation.”

    The news when Donald Trump engages in open corruption: …

  5. In a Trump+22 seat where MAGA Inc is making its first independent spend of the term, "deep red" is doing a lot of work. That's not a flex, it's a fire alarm. TN-07 is winnable if we juice turnout in Nashville/Clarksville and shave margins in the rural 8. All in for Behn.
