"The cost of all this success was a short, transitory burst of moderate inflation...& then the burst...stopped cold. It was over after the middle of 2022." "I characterize 2024 as...a worldwide failure to break the misinformation system..." All. Of. This. In re: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Affordability will be dominant theme in politics over the next year.

Let’s not forget how instrumental Nancy Pelosi was in passing the ACA. Thank you for your service! time.com/5832330/nanc...

Rainbow on my way to work this morning.

With @aoc.bsky.social flashing her smile at the end. Amazing.

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner. Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

What we know, 12:10am [Now in 2 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems flip ≈13 seats in VA House —Dems defend NJ-Gov + Assembly —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —Krasner & Bragg win

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Ok, one last race call for the night from a bellwether county... The Democrats have FLIPPED the Erie County, PA (Trump+1) County Executive position by 24 POINTS!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

So I think an easier question is… did Republicans win anything today?

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

Proposition 50: “California voters pass anti-Trump, pro-Democrat ballot measure” electionlawblog.org?p=152911

The wins keep coming in. Don’t disappoint me Prop 50!!

Congratulations to the people of MAINE QUESTION ONE WAS DEFEATED VOTED NO !!

What we know so far, 8:30pm —Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —Also means Dems take VA trifecta. —Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov. —Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia. —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati. —Last GOPer in Orlando council gone. —PA: Dem justices up big so far.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

Lately a lot of goyim on every side of the aisle have gotten waaaaaaay too comfortable telling Jews what the should or should not think and creating litmus tests for us to pass to be considered good Jews or bad Jews and y’all need to take your disgust at Trump doing this and look inward.

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead. IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained. IRS Direct File: 2023-2025. (Story from when the pilot launched.)

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

As a California voter, I never felt like my vote mattered at the national level... until today. Prop 50, let's go!!

Is People Magazine going to be the new Teen Vogue???

Would be really good for our country.

my son missed his flight out of san diego yesterday because of a ridiculously long security line, and a couple who wouldn't let him through when he kindly asked. America the beautiful!

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Obviously this is all a masterplan by us, the Jews.

Which is why one should always pack 2 or 3 bottles of wine when hiking/backpacking/biking.

Here is the history of the refugee cap US presidents have set since the creation of the country's resettlement program in 1980. Yesterday, Trump announced a cap of 7500, half of the 15k cap he had set in his first administration. 15k was unprecedentedly low then, 7.5k is unprecedentedly low now.

BREAKING: In a 51-42 vote, the Virginia House advances a measure proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map until 2030 “in response to actions taken by another state.”

Halloween is a dangerous day for child pedestrians.

A really interesting visualization by @gelliottmorris.com showing that independent voters in battleground states believe Dems are more focused on the issues that matter to them (affordable prices, healthcare, poverty) than are Reps (jobs being the exception).

37 days after she won her race, Republicans are STILL refusing to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social

People ask a lot about whether protests matter. While Trump’s approval rating is driven by many factors, events like the No Kings rallies likely play a role, too. Media coverage and people seeing their neighbors take a stand help convey that disapproval is not just acceptable but widespread.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

But at least they got a tax cut. 🤷‍♀️

For context, annual military compensation is about $600 billion. So $130 million is about $100 per service member or 0.02% of total annual costs. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

Oh dear lord. MAGA in a nutshell.

@gelliottmorris.com shows us that Trump is now underwater on all key issues. I do wish he would separate out "the border". I see "immigration" and "deportations", but those don't capture the idea that Republicans are better at "securing the border".

“Within a seminar series, women are interrupted more than men. This holds when controlling for characteristics of the presenter, paper, and audience. Interruptions that are negative in tenor or tone, or cutoff the presenter mid-sentence, increase for women presenters.”

Imagine if the GOP Congress had been doing its job these past few months. Their complete abdication is such betrayal.

More of this.

I find myself quite frustrated with these kinds of takes. I fear that they are demobilizing more than anything. (I also am no fan of the arrogance behind “this is what is going to happen”.)

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

The platform must be institutional reform:
