The 3 issues Americans are most worried about: Inflation, Economy/Jobs and Immigration.
People perceive the GOP's top priorities are also those.
But they see that Dems are most obsessed with a 3-hour riot that happened almost 2 years ago:
The top most popular political figures in the US are Donald Trump (47%) and Mike Pence (44%). Trump is even, Pence is at +4.
Biden and Harris are under water by 8-10 points.
AOC is at 29% approval. Those with highest negatives besides Putin: Hillary, Pelosi, Manchin, McConnell:
Note: the most popular Dem is, yet again, Bernie Sanders, whose at 42% but with a net approval of even.
But the highest disapproval numbers (again, besides Putin) are Pelosi (55%), Biden (51%) and Kamala Harris (50%).
Use polling data, not Twitter journalists, to see reality.
The whole poll is very interesting. Lots of relevant questions, well-framed. See more highlights in this excellent thread from @EddieZipperer. The poll itself is here (harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/upl…)
Maybe it's not smart to cast your entire political identity on top of someone who -- aside from that trivial matter of cheering literal war crimes for 2 decades -- was just booted out of Congress by her own constituents by a humiliating 35-point loss? OMG! The 1/6 Committee!!
🤮🤮🤮🤮

Western security experts say there's a 10-25% chance Russia will use nukes in Ukraine. Biden: we're closer to nuclear war than any time since 1962. Russia and NATO are conducting "long-planned" nuclear drills. US is threatening full retaliation.
Have a nice day.
All of this is over who will govern provinces in Eastern Ukraine which former President Obama, in 2016, said are not and never will be of "vital interest" to the US, but are and always will be of "vital interest" to Russia given it's right over their border but far from ours.
Be a real man, like @AdamKinzinger! Stop all your whining about how you think it's bad to trigger the first use of nuclear weapons since 1945, when their potency was a small fraction of the modern-day version of those weapons. Real men play with nukes:
Ten straight minutes of leading Dems undermining faith in the integrity of our elections by insisting the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections (all which, coincidentally, they happened to lose) were illegitimate because the false outcome was due to cheating:
It's quite dangerous that neocons have erased from Americans' memory every historical event except WW2. Thus: every US enemy is Hitler, every war is an existential battle, your own only choice is to be Chamberlain (ie diplomacy) or Mighty Churchill (cheer neocon war policies).
There are other events in history worth studying for modern conflicts, so we're not equating a fight to control the Donbas with Hitler's march through Europe and the Holocaust.
Key is the Cuban Missile Crisis. Read @KatrinaNation in the WP today on this:
Shortly after I began writing about politics, I noted in this mid-2006 article that the neocons' primary strategy is to cast every US enemy as Hitler, anyone who questions their war policies as Chamberlain, and each of their new wars as WW2. It's a scam:
The factory farm industry is one of the most destructive and grotesque by every metric: public health, environmental, labor abuses, mass and gratuitous torture of billions of sentient animals. It's destroying family farms. Don't turn away from this evil:
These rotted and filthy corporations -- Smithfield, JBS, etc. -- use their ownership of state legislatures to *criminalize* exposure of the atrocities they commit.
We know about them because of brave activists with groups like @DxEverywhere, who risk their liberty to expose it.
You don't have to be vegan or support veganism to oppose this industry's unspeakably cruel and immoral torture of beautiful and sentient animals and the massive threats they present to the public health and our food supply. Watch this mechanized sickness:
The issue isn't so much NBC and CNN failed to cover the materials in the Hunter Biden laptop about *Joe Biden's* business activities in Ukraine and China (though that's true).
The main issue is that both networks repeatedly *lied* about it by calling it "Russian disinformation."
I'll never stop talking about this and don't care if it's annoying.
This is a huge journalistic scandal: almost every major news outlet ratified an outright lie to manipulate the 2020 election and - to this day - not one of them, not one, has apologized, explained or retracted.
This is why I say - and I mean - that these corporate news outlets and their employees deserve your deep contempt.
They constantly lecture everyone about "disinformation," about "big lies", etc. They're the biggest liars of all, with zero accountability.
Rachel Maddow became one of the wealthiest TV personalities in the history of political entertainment by spouting insane conspiracy theories about Russia coming to turn off the heat for people in North Dakota, but credit where due: she got this one right back in 2012: #FirstEver
"Good news!" -- Rachel Maddow about @TulsiGabbard in 2015, the year before this "far-right" figure resigned her position as DNC Vice Chair to denounce Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for cheating for Hillary Clinton and so that she could endorse the far-right candidate Bernie Sanders.
