bringing John Wilkes booth into this 160 years later is wild lol

LeVert expiring this year and it would be hard to keep him and Ty Jerome. Hunter is under contract through 2027 + 3 years younger.

Also, it’s gotten a lot less attention but there is now an additional $1.50 charge on all ridehail trips that begin or end in the congestion zone (for taxis it’s $0.75)

Something liberals need to wrestle with is that Trump is loudly “moderate” on certain key issues and the media will not call him on it. He vows to protect Medicare/social security; refused to endorse a national abortion ban; pays lip service to cleaning up air/water/food (thx RFK 😑), etc.

Not a coincidence that WA and CO are doing way better on housing than other blue states and also experienced much less of a red shift in 2024

These projects are planned years in advance based on conditions at the time, and it’s expected to take ~2 years to fill all the vacancies. Liberalizing the process would get these buildings done faster and cheaper - more responsive to community needs. Would also help smaller developers.

This is demonstrably untrue though. Jurisdictions that allow more housing of any type see lower prices, full stop. Rents went down in Austin by 6% last year. Corporate investors are a tiny, tiny share of the overall market.
NIMBYs are not only on the left but the left is the problem in blue cities.

CO is I believe the only state where Harris outperformed Biden. Polis isn’t perfect but clearly something is working there.

Kind of tied into the way that cuck fetishes seem to be more concentrated among conservatives. They’re fascinated and repulsed by female sexuality all at once.

I think that mostly backs up the original post. Very online rw men both watch a lot of porn and loathe themselves for doing so. It’s a cycle of shame and rage. Hence their renewed professions of love for Christianity - they’re looking for something external to impose control on their impulses

I suppose but internal polling can be off as well. Clinton’s team infamously thought she had Wisconsin in the bag in 2016 for just one example.

I liked Late Night with the Devil but agree the ending could have been sharper. Have you seen Ghostwatch? Not super scary but an interesting progenitor to Late Night

not sure i really trust anyone to self-define what a “swing state” is when polling has been way off the past couple cycles. plus election stealing attempts also involve congress, state legislatures, and state courts, any of which can be at stake in “safe” states

Rs love juridical activism now so it’s going to be hard, but in theory both sides should be interested in moving more power to elected officials. Esp if Trump loses - at some point they will have to engage in competing for votes instead of banking on rigging elections in perpetuity

this article is critical but still way underplays it somehow. it’s not like they messed up with the name or made one little riff. &pizza’s press release announcing the knots was a cringefest of poorly delivered, beat-you-over-the-head cocaine “jokes” that were outdated 30 years ago.

I agree that would have been better but this 6-3 Supreme Court would have overturned a legislative protection in any case

The Polling Imperilment
Presidential polls are no more reliable than they were a century ago. So why do they consume our political lives?

Great piece, Rick. The obsession with meaningless predictions instead of meaningful engagement is truly baffling.
Btw, there were a few times the article says “proceed” when I think you meant “precede.”

Reminds me of this interview with the head of “Arab Americans for Trump”: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
The guy has no real answers, seems to me that he just likes the attention and feeling like part of the inner circle (coupled with anger at Biden over Gaza which is understandable tbh)

Inside Donald Trump’s Effort to Woo Arab Americans
Will voters fed up with Biden’s approach to Gaza turn to a man who once called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”?

Ohio sent more Union troops per capita than any other state. Our legacy should be veneration of Lincoln, Grant, and Sherman, not whatever Vance is babbling about here.

Not an expert, but I would think that high growth areas typically see growth in professionals unless there’s another factor. Esp. a place with a huge university / med school!
Sadly our way-too-low cap on new doctors is going to make this worse and worse even aside from bad abortion restrictions
