Aside from absolutely everything else having to do with them, I am ecstatic to see the end of Giuliani, whose name I mistyped every freaking time, and the arrival of Mamdani, whose name is crazy easy to type.

This doesn’t just gut refugee admissions — it creates a race-based system that prioritizes white South Africans over people facing real danger in their home countries.

An insult to everything we stand for. Trump is burying Ronald Reagan’s vision of America as a “shining city on a hill.”

Understanding #public knowledge is a great place to start - how about it, #Sarah #Longwell and #JVL?
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?

BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.
