Had a blast last night at the Comedy Cellar with @claremalone.bsky.social and Nate Silver!

We shared final pre-election takes, played "Guess What Americans Think," and discussed the latest political controversies.

Check it out!

All signs point toward a Zohran Mamdani victory in NYC on Tuesday.

But will he win with a majority of NYC voters?

On the latest GD POLITICS pod, @michaellangenyc.bsky.social explains why the answer to that question will shape Mamdani's likely tenure.

The Virginia gov polls are kind of all over the place.

TBC, variation isn't a bad thing. It suggests pollsters aren't herding, but Mary Radcliffe also picked up on an interesting trend that could be responsible.

She and @chaznuttycombe.bsky.social discussed it on the latest GD POLITICS pod:

There's just one problem with trying to get NYC Republicans to vote for Andrew Cuomo...

Tonight is the final New York City mayoral debate 🗽

Last debate featured lots of questions about daily life in NYC... parades, rent, bodega orders, groceries, subway ridership.

I talked to Steven Pinker on the latest GD POLITICS podcast episode.

We covered a lot, but one important takeaway was the social value of "Netflix and chill" and other euphemisms and innuendos 😉

Today on the GD POLITICS podcast...

A live taping at the Comedy Cellar with my dear friends @claremalone.bsky.social & Nate Silver!

We talked about the shutdown, NYC mayoral race, free speech, gerrymandering & more.

We also had A LOT of fun playing "guess which comedian said this."

Charlie Kirk's assassination is despicable and saddening on a human level and a national level.

It's Election Day in Virginia's 11th congressional district!
@baseballot.bsky.social, Mary Radcliffe & I talk about how to interpret the results.

We also discuss the latest jobs #s, how Americans are feeling abt the economy, and make sense of a NYT analysis of Electoral College bias in 2032.

Friend of the pod @baseballot.bsky.social makes the case against AI polling on the latest GD Politics episode.

Are Labubus demonic?

On today's installment of GD POLITICS:

After Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, can we still trust U.S. economic data?

w/ all-star team @bencasselman.bsky.social and Tara Sinclair

Data extraordinaire @lennybronner.com and I opened up the mailbag on the latest GD POLITICS episode.

It's in your feeds now and it's a good one...

"Gaza, Gen Z, And A Gay President"

Violent & property crime are at or near historic lows, but many of the interventions ppl argue lead to low crime also haven't happened.

I.e. police staffing levels are down and the U.S. is still awash in guns. So what's going on?

Coming up on today's pod w/ @jeffasher.bsky.social!
