1) This poll Nate cites is from the 175th ranked pollster on 538 2) This morning CNN/SSRS released a poll showing Harris up 5 in Michigan 3) Can someone point out recent poll releases from non red-wave pollsters that have good news for Trump?

4 innocent people are dead in Georgia, including 2 kids, because a 14-year-old got easy access to a firearm & committed the 345th mass shooting of 2024. That's 1 mass shooting every 16 hours. Gov Kemp legalized carrying a firearm in public w/o a license. Indefensible stupidity.

This ‘sanewashing’ of Trump’s statements isn’t just poor journalism; it’s a form of misinformation that poses a threat to democracy. trib.al/ppYwm6a

America has a killer-car problem. Its roads are nearly twice as dangerous as the rich-world average. It doesn’t have to be that way econ.st/4eaTYGq

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims. If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline. If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state. Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

A🧵 Leading news orgs deceive the American people about the profound unfitness of Trump. One way they do this is “sane-washing” the abnormal & his incoherency. This is not journalism-it’s journalistic fraud & propaganda. Let’s unpack. #FrontPage 1/n Parker Molloy Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org)

Thank you! *This is the kind of analysis that should be brought to Trump’s incoherence and dangerous policy positions (if you can even call them that.) Why can’t the sanewashing NYTimes and others do the same?

I’m going to assume that none of this deranged nonsense gets even the slightest nod in the papers tomorrow. Right The New York Times The Washington Post? Let’s keep talking about how Kamala reversed her position on banning plastic straws, shall we Chris Cillizza?

The real question is why this insane threat is not the major news story at the NYT, WaPo, CNN, NPR. etc? WTF, a presidential candidate is explicitly threatening to jail all his political opponents, oh yeah, better report on Harris' debate prep.
