This is one of the best tributes to Justice Souter I've read, in part because it quotes at length from Justice Souter's own account of the processes of judging.

Variation in poverty by cong. districts-- between and within parties. Swing district GOP wary of slashing Medicaid/SNAP, but poverty rates are higher in GOP-held safe red districts. Still, poverty rates vary markedly across the 20 most competitive GOP-held districts-- from <4% to >15% of families

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Surprising how well Harris support within a House district predicts the percent of the vote for the Democratic House candidate within that district. Much tighter fit around the 45 degree line than was the case a decade or more ago.

New paper with Ryan Mundy on the advantage of *candidate* wealth in US elections. Our rich Congress comes from rich candidates: they raise far more early money and especially more large-dollar donations, scare off competitors, and are more likely to be elected. Link below.

Senate Countermajoritarianism by Larry Evan’s is excellent work. Maybe Senate Democrats should read it today and get rid of the legislative filibuster tomorrow.

With the D’s taking the lead in CA 13, looks like 220-215 in the House going into January. Since 1985, vacancies have ranged from 6-22 per congress, with an average of 11.6. See the bar chart.
