Poll: Few voters report seeing bigger paychecks after tax changes
By STEVEN SHEPARD 02/21/2018 05:44 AM EST
Most voters aren’t noticing more money in their paychecks under the new tax law, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Just a quarter of registered voters, 25 percent, say they have noticed an increase in their paycheck, the poll shows. A majority, 51 percent, say they have not.

Oh, I thought we just accepted that Politico was #fakenews like 8 months ago

Americans are beginning to view the new GOP tax law more favorably, according to a poll released Monday by The New York Times and conducted by SurveyMonkey.

Fifty-one percent of Americans approve of the tax law now, compared to 46 percent in January and 37 percent in December.

Fantastic breakdown of the new PA Congressional District map by NY Times: Link

Goes district by district and has a map showing the lines of the current map with the lines of the new map, and how it affects the upcoming elections. Would recommend for anyone who cares about gerrymandering and how we can work to fix it.
 
Slow day at work and I've somehow fallen down a Texas wormhole. Anyway, governor Greg Abbott is backing three primary challengers to Republican state house incumbents.

Abbott plunges deeper into House primary challenges

Seems like he's playing with fire on one or two of them - Sarah Davis won by about 10 pts in 2016 and Faircloth won by 18 pts. The third district hasn't had a Dem opponent in a while, but will in 2018.

Edit: should have finished reading the article before posting:

In HD-134 specifically — which Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton carried by 15 percentage points in 2016 — Abbott has made some fellow, already critical Republicans uneasy, worried a more conservative nominee could hand the seat to Democrats in November. Abbott dismissed those concerns Tuesday morning.

Just goes to show you how much of a moral and logical black hole CPAC is
