What @Redistrict ignores is that we have the entrance of one former swing state into this list. Plus, while VA (as well as CO BTW) are exiting swing status due to education there are several states moving INTO swing state status in 2020 bc of it (NC, GA, TX, and AZ). Yes, there's
long term realignment of white, working class voters away from the Ds, set into motion before Trump & will continue after him just as the realignment of college educated voters to the Ds predates the arrival of Trump- who added kerosene to it by driving up turnout. And this WILL
cause geographic issues for Ds in the future, in any scenario where D turnout recedes (say 2022 midterms and 2024 if a D POTUS is running for reelection) but not in 2020. In 2020, turnout is going to be massive in the suburbs and cities. Massive.

As @jasmeel points out, Trump had no real choice here: it passed w veto-proof majorities.

As President Trump signed legislation that would impose sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong

Which brings me to one silver lining we have right now. Even though 1/2 of the GOP is using Russian propaganda about Ukraine (they have been briefed not to use by the intel community) as of right now we are still forcing Trump to behave in accordance w longstanding national
security principles of the U.S. in terms of Russian and North Korean sanctions, and now these sanctions for Hong Kong, via massive bipartisan cooperation in Congress.

No. There is definitely not more rural votes to surge from than suburban/urban. To be clear, Cohn et al are not making that claim. They are saying that pro-Dem surges are tied to education & that the Midwest is lower edu than safe Blue states. And they're not wrong about that.
But those Midwestern states are not as low education as many other states either, including many that reliably break D and are even more white (NH, for ex). And what they are arguing is that in a high turnout environment, the low edu turnout will be heightened & non-college edu
voters will make up the majority of the electorate. But keep in mind. Not all non-college educated voters are white and not all non-college educated white voters are breaking for the GOP-ESP ones that sat out 2016.

As I'll be showing in my upcoming voter file analysis, turnout surges among Dem coalition voters was massive in 2018, but R turnout surged too-evidence of happy Reps, not "disaffected" voters embarrassed by Trump Scandals & family separation policies. As I've said on multiple
occasions, like 2018, 2020 will be the battle of the bases & the side w the best turnout will win. But this idea that Trump/the GOP is advantaged in a turnout scenario, even in lower edu states like WI, is just wrong. There are major metro areas in every state & w them
suburbs. As w Lexington there will be massive turnout surges in these places, and population density strongly favors Ds. Keep in mind, Ds are overcoming pretty large R PVI advantages right now. And in the very same places that Wasserman & Cohn are so bearish on for Ds (MI, PA, WI

State Government Debt Risk - a history that repeats too often!

As the work on building Amravati, the new capital city AP, comes to a grinding halt, concerns emerge about Amravati (APCRDA) bonds held by Franklin MF (~Rs. 1000 Cr) and Birla MF (Rs. ~300 Cr). Thread 1/11
During the Chandrababu Govt, Amravati received political as well as financial patronage. Now, with Jagan Reddy being incharge of the state, the project is in shambles. World Bank & ADB pulled out of the project and the Government is looking for reasons to scrap it. 2/n
The bonds issued to support the financing needs of the project were subscribed by Franklin MF and Birla MF. The bonds are guaranteed by the AP Govt but it's not sure if the Govt would keep servicing the bonds. The risk of lending to a state govt has again come to the fore. 3/11

Lysander Spooner had strong beliefs about intellectual property-especially his-that I'm about to completely disrespect with an ultra-long tweet storm (strap in, this will take a while, and get interrupted) of the entirety of The Unconstitutionality of Slavery.
The plan is to post in chapters as I get the opportunity, so I'm not just preparing the tweet storm all day long and then don't get to tweet it because I have to go home.
CHAPTER I.: WHAT IS LAW?

Before examining the language of the Constitution, in regard to Slavery, let us obtain a view of the principles, by virtue of which law arises out of those constitutions and compacts, by which people agree to establish government.

1) Thread: I intended to post a thread about the Southern Poverty Law Center & DNC mainstream media’s disinformation war against white conservatives a little later. Then I saw this thread & decided not to wait.
2) David Neiwert was a guest on ‘UnPresidented Podcast ‘in Feb. in a Sound Cloud podcast segment called ‘Right-wing extremism in the age of Trump.’ Neiwert was introduced as America's foremost experts on right-wing extremism, domestic terror, and the Alt Right.
3) Dave’s a freelance writer affiliated w/Northwest Progressive Institute, a contributor to SPLC’s racist political smear campaigns for cash, but zilch for training or work in law enforcement or the intelligence field. Where is the expertise coming from?

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.

Compare this to what DeVos has done as Secretary of Education: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeV…
