Of the (semi-)realistic outcomes, Brown & Tester holding on.

I wish I had someone out there defaming me as much as trump does E Jean Carroll. I'd never work a day again in my life.

I mean, it's just pissing in the wind trying to attract 'yer da' types on Facebook. Nothing really lost.

I might be misconstruing this, because I’ve been doing some work with a small business that lives and dies off Meta advertising to 35-65s. But it’s feels like a massive oversight, surely?

Sure, Facebook trends older - but so do voters! Individual Tory candidates are spending thousands on Meta ads. The Lib Dems are running four different ads targeting Scottish voters alone.

Per ofcom, is the joint second largest source of news for Scots at 40%, beaten only by ITV (40%) and the BBC (43%).

Spoiler alert: "What President Biden Has Done- Year One"

Not many people will switch, but reluctant Biden voters in 2020, as well as nonwhite/younger Biden voters in 2020, may not turn out in 2024, costing Biden the election

Hogan, Casey, & Stein losing

The suburbs overall were hit hard by the early 1990s recession, actually. Although the bulk of losses were in construction, manufacturing, defense, and sectors tied to defense-related durable goods manufacturing, the recession was used as an excuse for a lot of companies to downsize white collar positions after gains in productivity from the home computer revolution of the 1980s. This played a part in the suburbs' swing to Clinton in 1992 and their later dazzling by promises of a "new economy". Bush's biggest defenders probably would have been Southerners (the region that fared the recession best) employed in the energy sector- i.e. oilmen like Bush himself.

Ted Cruz losing, even if it isn't going to happen.

Prosecutors in Bob Menendez trial can't use evidence they say is critical to case, judge rules

Prosecutors trying to prove that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez wielded his political influence in exchange for bribes cannot show jurors evidence that they argue is "critical" to their case, a federal judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Court Judge Sidney Stein said prosecutors could not use text messages from 2019 that allegedly show Menendez, who was the top Democrat on the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, assuring Egypt and the New Jersey businessmen who are alleged to have bribed him that he was not delaying military aid to the country after Egypt heard he had put a hold on it.

The jury also cannot see another text from 2022 in which the senator's wife, Nadine, allegedly told one of the businessmen that "Bob had to sign off on this." The text included a link about two pending foreign military sales to Egypt, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors argued last week that Egypt was "frantic about not getting their money's worth," which is why it contacted Menendez through two of the New Jersey businessmen, who allegedly gave the senator cash, gold bars, and other things of value...

Ugh. I wonder if it's the kind of evidentiary ruling which permits interlocutory appeal?
