Godfather of the Emancipation Proclamation

Keeping Americans out of Canada since 1814. I told you you'd miss John Quincy Adams when he was gone but you just didn’t listen.
3. The median rent is 1995 and the median rent in the first middle class neighborhood I looked up is 1700. You can absolutely afford to pay 1995 in rent on 8k a month.

You people are the Marquis du Condorcet undone by too many eggs every time. “Poors can’t live on 100k, I’m a working-class knower.” Yes they can:
1. Most school districts do tuition reimbursement for continuing education.
2. The median CPS teacher makes twice as much as the median Chicagoan…

Twice as many Americans strongly disapprove of this as strongly approve. 2-1 advantage. Even 40% of Moderate Republicans disapprove (half of those strongly).

The administration and some senators believed at the time that the statute could be applicable, they just didn't have blocking this sale as a priority. Stancil is not covering new ground or going out on a limb here.

Um, many people - including the Biden Administration and some senators, did read the statute and believe it applied at the time, they just didn't bother to do anything?

With all the NYT hayseed porn since 2016, it's easy to forget that over the last 20 years Iowans have LOVED violent political swings. Maybe they want to ride that dragon yet again!

Just as Biden’s approval rating does not match inflation levels this seems like more using numbers to retrofit everyone’s bullshit than a chart with actual explanatory power for the 24 election.

Why was Spain immune from the discourse? Did UK Cons lose because of inflation? (No). If this is a mechanistic effect why are Canada and Australia immune? Their inflation levels didn’t disappear w/ Trump.

This shows incumbent parties doing fine from 21-23 during actual inflation (half improved) and ignores the 2nd-biggest election to make the #s fit. Mexico is a middle-income nation. Morena IMPROVED vote share at all levels. It also shows share not whether governing parties were re-elected (France).

In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

He ensured the Illinois Democratic Party was the last in the nation to endorse Kamala. Do you think that went unnoticed?

This syncs with what the Illinois delegation is telling people about him in DC

On election day, majorities of voters thought Trump was extreme and Harris was not extreme. She seems to have dealt with past statements pretty well.

Framing foreign election stories in blatantly untrue ways to make Trump look better obviously makes no journalistic sense unless… as @mtsw.bsky.social says …

NYT: We found a technicality - anti-Trump Australian landslide DOES NOT COUNT he's still the Birthday Boy. The Conservatives did not lose in the first round (they still got fewer votes in the first round pmn the way to losing parliamentary seats 2-1).

NYT: Queer that some say Australian Conservative meltdown is Trump’s fault, he wasn’t mentioned.

Trump’s Campaign Manager: I ran the Conservative campaign.

Labor: Trump Trump Trump

Australian Media: OMG does every word in this campaign have to be “Trump Bad?”

I'll help her. It means her family. It means a mediocre intellect with no convictions from one of the richest families in the nation getting handed a senate seat.

Don’t take it from Stancil, take it from Shakespeare (and Faulkner). There’s a reason this is one of the most famous quotes in the English language.
