A poll of 63 battleground House districts found that abortion edged out immigration as a dealbreaker issue for voters.
Punchbowl News reported:
A national DCCC-commissioned poll of more than 1,000 likely voters in 63 competitive House battleground districts found that immigration and abortion were the top two “dealbreaker” issues for respondents. In the poll conducted March 5-10, 36% of voters said they couldn’t support a candidate who disagreed with them on abortion, while 33% said the same for immigration.
…
The poll found the top attack lines against Republican candidates were on abortion. When voters were told Republicans want to pass a national abortion ban, 52% said that was very concerning. The same percentage said it was very concerning that Republicans supported overturning Roe v. Wade.

False.

Kennedy Jr. confirmed Thursday it’d cut ties with Rita Palma, a campaign staffer who last week urged GOP voters in New York to back Kennedy as a way to siphon away electoral votes from their “mutual enemy” Joe Biden.

Too late. She obviously felt comfortable in front of RFK Jr. staff to talk about how to make Biden lose even if RFK Jr. did too. And throw the election to the GOP House.

What data does the government actually gather with FISA? - CNN What Matters
Email
Trump misstated facts in effort to ‘KILL FISA’
"SNIP............
Under updates to the FISA law enacted in 2008, the government has the ability to compel US phone companies and internet providers to provide access to communications across the “backbone” of the internet. The government can also compel access to phone information that can allow it to obtain the content of calls and also require email providers and others to provide communications from a specific address.
It’s hard to quantify exactly how much data and communications this represents, but the scope is massive.
...............
The trove of data, including a large portion of US internet traffic, is meant to provide US intelligence agencies with quick access to data regarding foreigners in other countries.
According to the National Security Agency, 60% of what appears in the Presidential Daily Brief has some data that comes from the 702 program. The Oversight Board report says searches of the data are critical to informing the US understanding of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, foreign actors plotting cyberattacks in the US and China’s targeting of dissidents.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.
So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift them to the rich.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

A new poll suggests it's Republicans who should be rooting for higher turnout.

In 2016, former President Donald Trump was a political outsider looking to win the GOP nomination for president. In part, his campaign sought to appeal to voters who were disenchanted with politics.
Despite that, though, Trump wasn't significantly more popular with infrequent voters than with consistent voters. In a poll I conducted in January and February 2016 via GfK's KnowledgePanel, respondents who hadn't voted in any of the three prior general elections (2010, 2012 and 2014) supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 3 percentage points. For respondents who had voted in all of those elections, Clinton's lead was only slightly larger: 6 points.
Today, though, this mild "participation gap" has become massive. Between Feb. 20 and March 18, 2024,* Gall Sigler and I oversaw a survey, fielded by NORC, of 2,462 English- and Spanish-speaking adults living in the U.S. According to public records, 63 percent of our respondents who reported being U.S. citizens turned out to vote in 2020.**
And when we broke out respondents by their voting history, we found dramatic differences in whom they support for president in 2024. President Joe Biden performed much better among frequent voters, while Trump had a large lead among people who haven't voted recently. Specifically, among respondents who voted in the 2018, 2020 and 2022 general elections, Biden outpaced Trump 50 percent to 39 percent. But among respondents who were old enough to vote but voted in none of those three elections, Trump crushed Biden 44 percent to 26 percent.

In the wake of O.J. Simpson's death from prostate cancer, Alex Jones Thursday suggested a COVID-19 vaccine was to blame, referencing a conspiracy theory of which there is no evidence.
Jones's X post on the subject included a video released during the pandemic that shows Simpson endorsing COVID-19 vaccines and encouraging people to "get your shots."
"Watch OJ Simpson demand you get your COVID Shots," Jones wrote in the post's caption. "Turbo Cancers are off the charts, and we warned you."
Adding commentary to the video was Infowars host Owen Shroyer, who said, "Today, O.J. Simpson dies after a battle with cancer, and of course you'd have to assume that he took the vaccine."

Applegrove:
Every emotional event for certain groups is a chance for the Alex Jonses and GOP to start a conspiracy theory. This one promotes RFK Jr. and targets people who saw OJ Simpson as set up by racist cops (only a few years after Rodney King cops got off scott free after being recorded beating the crap after him). There is a what and a who in GOP created conspiracy theories. What fiction is being elevated? Who are the target audience of voters? The 'who' is the loop of a lasso. The 'what' the rope that is reeled in.
