1) Now for some voter registration updates: We have MD, where DemoKKKrats actually outregistered Rs by about 400; in DE Rs picked up 7,700 net with both parties' registrations falling but as I show below, the long-term these are still a net loss for Ds. And we have this excellent update from Seth Keshel, showing November to June shifts: in FL, from +7.5 to 9.4% R; in IA +10.3 to 10.8% R (IA gained about 1,000 net new Rs last month); in PA +3.1 to 2.0% D; in NC +1.3 to .03% D; R; in AZ 6.8% to 7.0% R; and NV _.05% D to tied. Meanwhile, in a voter roll purge, Kollyfornia just removed 1.2 million inactive voters. That probably works out a net R gain of about 200,000. This apparently does NOT include Los Angeles County. More voter registration numbers on blue states here by Seth Keshel, this time of DemoKKKrat states. Surprise, surprise.

Basically, blue states get away with outrageously high taxes in part because the state taxes can be deducted from the federal tax. In other words, Trump wants to make the blue states really fell the pain they are inflicting, and the toadies from those states object.
4) The "Common Sense" DemoKKKrats, such as Ruy Teixeira, whom no one will listen to, warn that "net zero" is a net loser. Yep. It's Civil War #3 for DemoKKKrats: Tech Bros/AI v. Greenies.
5) So much for "Trump's tariffs will add to the deficit." The CBO says that by 2035 tariffs will add $2.8 trillion in new revenues.
6) It's too bad. Steve Bannon is looking like a Cheshire Cat in his criticisms of Elon Musk, who has gone off the deep end, no criticizing President Trump directly over the BBB and saying that Trump wo
