The number of times I saw non-American flag draped coffins in Afghanistan was not insignificant. The ignorance some display on X regarding what allies have done for the U.S. is embarrassing.

I see Jews saying this constantly and then basically every media outlet covers this as us being single issue pro-Israel voters. Israel can handle its problems. We are a minority facing record high antisemitic violence.

Early vote data across the county, but especially in Nevada, increasingly suggest that concerns about USPS handling of mail ballots are changing how some Democrats vote, complicating comparisons with 2024. Per @JohnRSamuelsen’s comparisons, Democrats appear to be shifting toward early in-person voting and dropping off their mail ballots, while Republicans are becoming more comfortable voting by mail. That would help explain why Clark County’s initial mail returns looked so much better for Republicans: the Democratic registration advantage fell from 18.6 points in the comparable 2024 snapshot to about 7.5 points in 2026. But as Saturday’s likely drop-offs entered the totals, the picture changed sharply. Two later batches were D+31 and D+38.8. Democrats’ weaker initial mail numbers seem to partly reflect voters choosing to bypass USPS, rather than slacking in initial turnout. This pattern has held somewhat across the country, as in-person early voting has been very blue while mail ballot returns have been more lackluster for Democrats than expected. There are certainly other possible explanations contributing to these dynamics, including the continued unwinding of COVID-era voting patterns, when absentee ballots were generally more Democratic. But the sharp Democratic shift in Nevada’s mail returns that appear to include substantial numbers of drop-offs rather than ballots sent through USPS, is strong evidence that more may be happening here. Anyway, I do think there's solid data to support that concerns about postal delivery, amplified by media and political leaders, are encouraging Democrats to deliver their ballots themselves or vote in person. These concerns include both changes already in effect, such as transportation changes that can delay postmarks, and restrictions that were ultimately blocked. On Sept. 14, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s request to allow new USPS mail-in voting restrictions to take effect for the November 2026 midterms. Those restrictions remain blocked, but the concerns they generated may still be influencing how Democrats choose to vote.

התקפות הטרור היהודי, הפעם גם על צלמת ה״וושינגטון פוסט״ הן לא כשלון של הממשלה - הן המדיניות של הממשלה. בן גביר הוא אחד מהם ומעודד אותם ונתניהו יודע ושותק. אנחנו נשים לזה סוף. זו בושה למדינת ישראל, חרפה לעם היהודי, ואסון בשדה הבינלאומי.
