Other than a weird Quinnipiac near-tie (12-11) back in April, this is the first primary poll this cycle to put Warren above Bernie.
Individual polls mean basically nothing, and Warren had a bad run of polling just a week ago, so take with an extra large grain of salt. But worth keeping an eye on going forward.
I don't have a strong sense of what comes next if Warren starts polling consistently above Bernie, but it seems pretty clear that it would seriously shake the race up—in a bunch of different ways.

I'm going to be going out to New Hampshire in a few weeks and then Iowa later in the summer, camping with my kids, and we're going to try to see some of the candidates on the stump.
First question: Any advice on how to get info on all the candidates' events without trawling all of their websites and so on? I'm sure some of y'all have done this. Tips?
Second question: What questions should I ask the various candidates if I get the chance? Looking for ideas for questions tailored to individual candidates, and questions that I might actually ask them.

I find it so weird that Bernie's (very good!) speech yesterday was billed/titled as "How Democratic Socialism Is The Only Way To Defeat Oligarchy and Authoritarianism." I'd love to know the thinking behind that.
"We want to convince people who are ignorant of or hostile to left lingo that democratic socialism is good, and we're gonna do it by telling them it's the path to defeating oligarchy and authoritarianism!"
Bernie's people have been outraged about the article in which some of his opponents were described as laughing about the speech, but they weren't laughing at the contents—the speech hadn't been given yet. They were laughing at the NAME.

Trump is referring to a call in which Russian pranksters claimed to have naked photos of Trump. Schiff told the callers they should give the photos to the FBI, and that he would be contacting the FBI about the call.
"I’ll be in touch with the FBI about this. And we’ll make arrangements with your staff. I think it probably would be best to provide these materials both to our committee and to the FBI." —Adam Schiff, on the recorded call Trump is referring to. rollcall.com/news/politics/…
Again, this isn't in dispute. Schiff is on tape doing exactly what Trump said he didn't do. He was offered naked photos of Trump, and his immediate response was to inform the FBI and pass the materials along to them.

#warren/#buttigieg 2020. Tell me why I'm wrong.
I was really hoping to elect a person of color, and I still have some interest in Harris. But she's getting too much heat for her prosecutor background. Besides Warren has the most policies that align with my view of America, AND she knows how to make those goals achievable!
And Buttigieg... I'm still learning about his ability to govern, but I'm continually impressed by how worldly and hella SMART he is. and he's obviously had some inside experience of oppression as a gay man from middle America.

#poll If there was a Snap General Election, who would you vote for?

(For other parties, please vote them in comments)

Please RT once Voted! 😃
1997: Blair 13.5mn votes
1997-2015: Blairites/ Others lost 180 seats & 5mn voters
2017: Corbyn 12.8mn votes/ Gained 32

2019:

add first time voters (75% of those who vote, vote for Labour)

Subtract 2% of the population, 80% of whom vote Tories!

Labour Landslide on the cards!
Lab’s share of vote could be 14.5+mn

Once we take into account first time voters- 16 or under at 2017

first time voters -never voted before, disenchanted by Blair years whilst

removing Tory support -loss of voters due to old age

=> Lab will gain 100+ seats from Tories alone

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.

Don't let #polls determine whether or not you vote. Don't assume a victory or a loss based on current polling. Why? Because they are inherently flawed, and not truly reflective of a whole group of people of any sort. (more)
2/ Polls have two major aspects: Sample and Methodology. These are the parameters that define how the poll is taken and how accurately it reflects a population.
3/ Let's start with sample, also called sample size. It tells you how many people are polled to get the results. Most of the big polls you see in the news have a sample size somewhere around a thousand. This works for the pollsters, because it's a manageable

I want to tell you all stories about two historic places I visited last year: Devil’s Half Acre in Richmond, VA and Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland. (1/24) #RVA 🧜🏻‍♀️
Near the end of April 2017 was the first time I went to the Devil’s Half Acre. Some may also know this site by the name Lumpkin’s Jail. Most don’t know about it at all but it is in Shockoe Bottom. (2/24) #RVA
I had a day date planned with my boyfriend at the time that involved walking all over #RVA. We had just left Church Hill Lookout and were walking down Broad Street. We were trying to decide at what point we would catch a Lyft home. (3/24)

A thread on the #BluePassport as everyone seems to be losing their minds.
1/ @Number10gov announced the next UK passport design (available from Oct 2019) would be blue, replacing burgundy red (the colour used while the UK was in the EU)
2/ This has both the Remain and Leave camps sounding off, with almost nothing either are saying being accurate. Nothing new - when the government announced the start of re-design back in April, it caused a similar 48 hr news cycle full of inaccuracies too. Anyway, some facts:
