Once again, here's where a computer average (40% Résumé SP+, 40% SOR, 10% SP+, 10% FPI) would agree/disagree with what I'm guessing the committee comes up with today.

ND, Miami and Vandy would be in, Bama and OU would be out.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Every firm of every size on Wall St. should have done this morning what JPM did yesterday. Instead, it's been mostly crickets and, in some cases, cowardice.

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.

Your wordle/games subscription doesn’t go in some magical separate pile. It goes to the New York Times, and it pays for things like Bret Stephens, Maggie Haberman, and both sides coverage of ICE and all the rest. Wake up.

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind.

I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why.

Please share! This is really important!!!

At the risk of getting yelled at, this is part of why I keep saying blue state NIMBYism is a travesty for democracy. When we make it so that low-income immigrants, LGBTQ people and pregnant people can't afford to live where they want, think about what they end up being subject to.
Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen.

This is madness.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

"Yeah, no. You're right. Here's where we are now: We're gonna give China access to technology they didn't have before in exchange for us maybe getting back to the level of rare earth magnets we were importing previously. Oh, and consumers are still gonna pay more for Chinese goods."

Here's the one chart you need to see:

- Abrego Garcia deported
- SCOTUS ruling gets press
- News coverage shot up
- Google search traffic shot up
- Trump approval fell down

and then

- News media moved on
- Trump immigration approval went back up

Exactly as predicted by the survey experiment.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson
🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase.

Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13
Young kids: $27 → $10

the last time dems held a supermajority was 09 and the party passed

>ACA which was the largest expansion of the social safety net since 1972
>hate crime protections for actual or perceived gender/gender identity/sexuality/disability
>20 extra weeks of UI

the supermajority lasted a total of 58 days
This is what Democrats do. They wait for the GOP to royally drop the ball then they supermajorities with which they pass GOP policies. Then they get their teeth kicked in and spend another decade in the wilderness.
