New - Pennsylvania voter registration update - May

🔵 Democrats: +4,788 (+1200)

🔴 Republicans: +3,568

We finally flipped the trend in Pennsylvania.

Certainly a relief. I'm still trying to make sense of how much voter registration is predictive or just a lagging indicator, but either way, it's something that I'd rather we be making gains in than the reverse!

Fun fact: Louisiana still has a Democratic voter registration majority.

Pennsylvania has closed primaries, so party of registration is more impactful here than in most states.

Some of it is definitely a lagging indicator (my own county, Mercer, maintained a Democratic registration advantage well after it became MAGAstan and Republicans started sweeping local offices by comfortable margins), but it's still not a trend I've enjoyed watching.

Reporter: How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz?

Trump: I was supposed to be a movie maker… Nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there but they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, a lot of shark bites…

He needs help!

Trump in previous interviews before he became POTUS in 2017 had looked into working in the film industry decades ago, well before he even met Roy Cohn. One wonders if this would have ever truly happened had he not gone into real estate.

I'm sure Trump would say, "This system is rigged!" if he started being a director and then had to direct films that the studio wanted him to as opposed to his own.

He’s apparently a huge Broadway buff - in another universe he’s a particularly crass musical critic, not bothering the world as a shit tier POTUS

Really? Broadway seems awfully nuanced for his lowbrow tastes.

Don’t give him any ideas - or allow his goons to have too much access to any helicopters
