Similar to @SteveHiltonx - could be some interesting analysis on how much he did to increase turnout among some of the more disaffected voters. If he did, it wasn't through traditional campaigning.

Yes, Karen Bass & Nithya Raman won Dems. Yes, Spencer Pratt won Republicans.
But his reach went beyond Republicans, undercutting some simplistic post-election punditry.
Pratt absolutely *crushed* with independents, per @Political_Data >

🚨Nerd Alert 🚨
Especially for the LA Political Nerds.
politicaldata.vote/
*Please use laptop/desktop, not optimized for phone
This site takes LA County 2026 Primary Election Results, and the @Political_Data records of who voted... and breaks out analysis for EVERY election in LA (except judges) gives you the ability to:
- Visualize precinct maps / winners in a district (and the LA portions of legislative/congressional seats)
- Select sub-geographies (Mayor by council district, Senate by City, City council seat by neighborhood, etc)
- See regression analysis of results by Age, Race, Party and ethnicity, showing correlations or lack thereof.
- Take in the Ecological Inference analysis (viewer beware) which gives a statistical analysis of subgroup voting trends. Read the prompt before digging in, EI can seem strange!
- Run correlations of candidates against each other - like you can see based on precinct-level data just how much was @nithyavraman tied to @TomSteyer or @kennethmejiaLA
While there is a lot of stuff on LA Mayor, this has everything -so you could literally compare governor race to Glendale School board or Long Beach city council, or whatever.
This is all experimental. Hope to build out to other counties as we can get access to the data. This was a lot of work... hope you enjoy!!
Send feedback as I will continue to play around with this.

The nation is feeling queasy about celebrating its birthday in the Trump era—but the national political narrative feels distinct from how regular Americans actually view their country, at least according to some focus groups.

oh I thought it was a show about advertising

Mad Men creator said the show was never about advertising. It was about the gap between what people want and what they can actually have. "Happiness is always in that gap in between," he said. Don is a man who has everything the era told him to want, and cannot feel any of it.

I asked Barak Ravid if he's become the boy who cries “Iran deal.”
“I am covering the news, okay?” he said. “The boy doesn’t cry ‘Iran deal.’ The boy says the guys who are working on the Iran deal are crying ‘Iran deal.’”
My latest.

Heading into general, Bass has edge with older voters, Black voters and Latinos. Raman has edge with younger voters.
Both are pretty even with homeowners and renters.
Mayor's race - right now - looks like it will come down to who can persuade or motivate whites independents.

Brent Suter hell yeah

For the first time, an American pro athlete is speaking out against fossil fuel sponsorships in sports.
I have an exclusive interview with Angels pitcher Brent Suter, who's tired of greenwashing and would much prefer to promote clean energy. Check it out: climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/…

? Caruso was on the ballot as a Democrat with a boatload of Democratic and celeb endorsements. Might need to correct your take.
