I know Cincinnati lost so you can't do that anymore with guest picker Jason Kelce, but Harvard/Yale is right there.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

The ACC is fast barreling towards the playoff having #11 North Texas and #12 James Madison, and honestly that sounds fun.

One thing I learned writing this piece: ~1 in 8 Americans are on SNAP. Way more than I thought (and I grew up lower middle class and we had WIC when I was a kid, so think I had an above-replacement-level prior). “We saved SNAP” is good angle for Dems open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...
One way the shutdown deal might actually help Democrats
A plurality of voters approve of the deal to end the government shutdown. Democrats have an opportunity to claim they saved SNAP & other government programs, which could help repair the party's image

This is Dapple. She was found as a stray with teeth falling out due to severe dental disease, plus a painful knee injury. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover the surgeries to remove her teeth and repair her leg. She's now toothless and thriving in her forever home ❤️🩹

Which conferences have the strongest home-field advantage in conference games?
Congrats to the Pac-12 on a perfect 1–0 start, but it’s the MAC that stands out. Home teams win nearly 70% of the time!
