Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

data is important, measurement of public opinion is important, but politics also isn't a machine. there are a vast number of qualitative factors at work. and people themselves are unpredictable.

Every dot on this map is a New Yorker who chipped in for the Transition to make sure we can hit the ground running on Day 1.
$3 million raised from all five boroughs. $1 million to go.
Thank you for powering this transition. Let's cross that finish line together.

Everyone has their beats when it comes to politics. For example, I try to tie everything to state legislative elections.
I'm just glad my beat isn't trying to dunk on progressives and promoting an ideology that's rapidly dying because being milquetoast in 2025 is lame as hell

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

The issue isn't who gets representation, it's that once you start unwinding federalism, why stop at presidential elections? Why bother having "states" at all other than as national administrative boundaries?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Federalism isn't a binary. Elect the President by national popular vote and both the little and the big empty states STILL get overrepresented in the Senate, which, need I remind you, confirms judicial and other nominations.

As far as I'm concerned, the case against working to change the Democratic Party from within through electoral politics collapsed with Mamdani's win last Tuesday. Doesn't mean the left will inevitably win or that it won't be a grueling struggle. But ... I mean, come on.
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”
I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

Breaking: Post-Gazette Strikers Win Three-Year Strike!
BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Asking kids to show their parents’ tax returns before I give out any candy. There’s a sliding-scale depending on household income. Thankfully we’re ensuring no one who can afford a tootsie roll gets a free one. The downside is that it takes 45 minutes per kid to determine whether they’re eligible.

Look. It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it.
In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of +1.4 pts.
This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion
After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
