Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...
Not just left vs right: Most voters think about affordability and material wellbeing, not in ideological terms
Most voters want a party that emphasizes cost of living issues and makes the world a better place. Few Americans think in solidly ideologically terms. "Moderates" are mostly non-ideological.

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

Such a good read.
I think @dinfontay.com summed up the moral fracture in journalism really well: “I feel cliché referencing George Carlin, but after a week like this what else can you say? There is a big club, and we aren't in it.”
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

notably, Fox News is not broadcasting the Khanna/Massie/Greene Epstein news conference live. CNN and MS are.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

if you think the problem is that the democratic party is too extreme rather than our current media environment privileges right wing bull shit then you have no real business discussing politics in public

In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.

Commentary: Who profits most from Medicaid? Employers like Walmart and Amazon, many of whose workers rely on the program
Big employers such as Walmart, Amazon and McDonald's stick taxpayers with the bill for healthcare and food for their employees. The GOP budget will make life harder for those workers.

These folks have empathy and understand families in need.
I work in accounting at a non-profit nursing home. Most of our residents are on Medicaid.
They just brought up $175 in cash that they'd collected and asked if we could arrange to donate it to our local food bank.
Yes. Yes, we can.
And yes, now I'm crying at my desk.
