Good. It wasn't going to say, 'we were overwhelmed by a flood of disinformation that we had no capacity to counter and it was the culmination of our donors not investing strategically in media for the past 40 yrs.' I don't wanna hear whatever BS they'd say about Biden or pronouns or girls sports.

matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

EVERY SINGLE THING TRUMP SAID IN HIS SPEECH WAS A LIE...including the money for US Troops.
It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.
Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.

FYI, this booing is because the GOP passed a procedural vote on the GOP "health plan" (which doesn't include ACA subsidies) and they iced out Dan Goldman's no vote because he was late. The ACA discharge petition vote won't happen until 2026 because there's a 7-day waiting period once you hit 218.
