The makeup line is insane but we should talk about how the cartilage in his ear magically grew back

I was just reading in Amazon Basics Opinion that Zohran went mask-off. No I couldn't believe it either.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

I’m taking a victory lap for my coverage of young voters over the last year. I’ve argued that Trump’s 2024 gains with voters <30 stemmed mostly from anti-incumbent sentiment from high inflation — and that “GOP gains” / a youth “realignment” was a mirage. Tuesday’s results suggest I was right.

the "public as a thermostat" model is not just that there's a backlash to the party in power when they move policy too far from the median voter—it's also that the backlash is proportional to the amount policy is moved. last night's election results fit in that model, and suggest a swing in 2026 too

If Jones wins it means he has a mandate to put Republicans in camps. Listen to the voters.

He didn’t! Trump played far more often in his first term (260+ in four years versus Obama’s 330+ over eight years) — and is playing *more often* this time around. Term 1: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Term 2: www.pbump.net/o/an-officia...

Next Dem President should deport Liel Leibovitz

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

From the July 1936 issue of Esquire.

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points. On the pod, @stevebenen.com and I discuss: newrepublic.com/article/2022...

The next Democratic Presidential Candidate needs to start his campaign at the Flight 93 Memorial.

Who wore it better

Oh forgive me if I don't clutch my pearls just because the president has made love to a creature of god. Something the democrats know nothing about by the way,

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Norms, democratic values, and mass protests goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/mass-prote...

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

TRILLION dollar tax increase, with a 'T'

You know what's interesting? When John Brown was captured, a number of prominent abolitionists (led by Thoreau) decided to sing his virtues instead of immediately denouncing his use of violence
