In the latest version I found of Nate Silver's model (not 538), he has Ohio coming in at 52.4% for Trump and 43.6% for Harris, an 8.8% spread. I did not dig deeper to find the dates or particular polls from Ohio he's basing that on.

However, based on these numbers, he is likely modelling that Trump wins Ohio in 90%+ of outcomes to Harris's <5% of outcomes.

This is the same way he spoke to his model in previous elections. It wasn't that Hillary was expected to win 80-90% of the popular vote or electoral college just weeks before the 2016 election, it was that his model had her winning that percentage of the outcomes when he ran the model.

The state was Utah, the governor quoted the following in his veto statement:

Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.

  • 75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.
  • 4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.
  • 1 transgender student playing girls sports.
  • 86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.
  • 56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.

The veto was overridden.

I firmly believe that if any other candidate, in a primary or general election, either republican or democrat, had said this, it would end their campaign.

We have become so accustomed to Trump saying outrageous bullshit, that this will be forgotten in less than a week, and most voters will never even hear about it.

Twitch disabled the account following the Jan. 6 riot on the US Capitol in 2021 due to “the current extraordinary circumstances and the President’s incendiary rhetoric” before issuing an indefinite suspension two weeks later, according to a Twitch spokesperson.

Guess we'll all just collectively forget about this now that's he's the Republican nominee again ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

ITV's This Morning thought it would be a good idea to introduce the current PM to Britain's most tattooed mom.

Not sure what Britons are meant to learn about Rishi Sunak, or what yet another Tory government would have in store for them, from his take on sandwiches, coke, or chatting with an OnlyFans model ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

What is this stage set-up? Why is the British PM sitting in the cuck chair?

Too late. Linux is going from my hobby project to my primary OS by the time they stop providing Windows 10 updates, if not sooner.

Heard this one before. How long before we hear about his extramarital affairs and the abortion he paid for. It's always projection with these assholes.

EDIT: My bad, this guy just paid for his future wife's abortion. Rules for thee and not for me. Slightly different hypocrisy for this guy.

The same flag outside the current house speaker's office?

Speaker Johnson's close ties to Christian right — both mainstream and fringe

Flags associated with acts of treason have been normalized now. Good luck pursuing that investigation for more than just show.

It's almost as if a militarized police force trained to shoot first and shoot to kill shouldn't be in charge of wellness checks, mental health emergencies, or even nonviolent offenses.

In fact, we could use some of the budget assigned to police and use it to train non-violent emergency response teams, since the police won't be doing that work anymore.

If only we had a catchy slogan for it.
