Temporary protected status for Haitians ends at 11:59 PM this upcoming Tuesday. There are around 30 thousand Haitian immigrants in central Ohio, about 2/3 of whom live in Springfield. This is the sane Springfield that became infamous during the 2024 election due to the spread of false rumors by JD Vance and Donald Trump that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets and the ducks and geese from a local park. Vance and Trump both made sure to characterize the Haitian immigrate populati…

The Republican former lieutenant governor of North Carolina,
Mark Robinson,
has admitted he "misled" voters during his unsuccessful 2024 gubernatorial campaign
when he denied posting racist and offensive comments on a pornography website
– suggesting he did so to protect Donald Trump’s successful presidential run.
Robinson, who worked in furniture manufacturing before entering politics in 2020, told the "After the Call" podcast on Thursday:

In 2024, Europe spent circa €375 billion on imports of fossil fuels. [consumptive: burn it, and only CO2 remains]
In stark contrast, investment in renewable power and grids remains comparatively low: Europe spent €100 billion on those in 2025. [delivering clean energy for decades, and avoiding CO2]

California voters are receiving mailers promoting a 'poison-pill' ballot measure aimed at nullifying a proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires' assets. The countermeasure, backed by Silicon Valley billionaires including Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, would override the tax even if both pass in November. The clash reflects a broader surge in billionaire political spending, which reached $3 billion nationally in 2024 and is reshaping policy battles at state and federal levels

The people who actually decide elections aren’t in the base

Political independents and soft partisans — voters Trump converted in 2024 to beat Harris — are more loosely attached to Trump and support his policies less.
