I’m enjoying the games and the drama, but I honestly believe if I was a real fan of either of these teams I’d be dead from a coronary.

I'd like to see voters feelings about "crime" broken out into: (1) violent felonies (2) property crimes/theft and (3) crimes committed by unhoused people (only b/c I suspect people associate them with crime). "Crime" is too generic and tells us virtually nothing about what voters are worried about.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Three cheers for the Constitution's right to a jury: a federal jury in Los Angeles "took just over an hour to acquit [Brayan] Ramos-Brito of a misdemeanor assault count" in an ICE-scuffle case hinging heavily on the testimony of border sector chief Gregory Bovino, now doing raids in Chicago.

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.
The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.
The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Hawaii justices ruled that their state constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaiians—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Today was my lucky day. I ran some errands and scored a 6-pack of my favorite lip balm (DIONIS goat-milk) for $8. They're usually $5 each. Then all the Aveda hair products were 25% off.
I'll take the wins wherever I can get them. 🙂

Look, at some level you cannot have a functioning democracy where both parties presuppose an electorate of selfish, ignorant louts and compete to offer them the best array of goodies, which is more or less what “focus on kitchen table issues” means. You have to activate some kind of civic impulse.
