This can't be real. This can't be. The poster made this up. Right? Right? THIS is the dazzling reporter who got fluffed in the New York Times? Who had money materialize out of thin air to chill out in Malibu for a year after being nationally disgraced? Who got hired by Vanity Fair after this?
hands down my favorite line from a book that provides no value add to the written word besides being, possibly, the most narcissistic memoir ever put to paper.

I picture Yglesias with a grin while he typed this (possibly one-handed) - Bluesky lefites are BOTH pitifully weak and worthless while at the VERY SAME TIME decisive political forces that are destroying everything they touch. Right out of the autocrat's playbook re: the chosen enemies/scapegoats.
Y’all talked too much about the TN-7 race, turned it high salience, juiced turnout, and wrecked Dems’ chances of sneaking in a win.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ended November 30, showcased the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence for storm forecasting. And experts say there is no turning back.

📌That's a damn fine job in TN-07, and just the latest example of why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE.
📌Fully 100 current Republicans seats were less pro-Trump than TN-07 in last year's elections. If we hit these bastards where they are, it will be a bloodbath for the repulsive GOP next year.

Also worrying that the overperformances are growing at a correlated rate as Trumps dropping approval
Looks like TN-07 will end up around R+8, or a 13-point shift toward the Democrats from 2024.
What should worry Rs is that this one is hard to dismiss as a special election. It ended up nationalized, and turnout will be ~95% of 2022. It looked like a midterm general electorate.
