I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?
Pointless and provocative. Yeah, that tracks.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Stopped by @unitehere.org local 100 yesterday to rally with some of the workers who've been knocking on doors week after week across the five boroughs.

I'm very grateful to their leadership and members for the support!

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Cuomo is trash.
oh just straight up gutter racism!
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
Ew. Much respect to whoever does.

Ketchup, meet wall. Go cholesterol! Go blood pressure! You can do this!
Powell: "There are 2 things affecting the job market. One of them is just a dramatic reduction in the supply of new workers. That's declining labor force participation, which is a cyclical thing, and then there's declining immigration which is just a big policy change."

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security.

None of this is normal.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas.

That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.
Be still my heart and fingers crossed.

Watched the Mamdani interview with Jon Stewart and holy shit NYC might actually elect someone not comically evil with a functioning brain that talks like a human
Same, still have my original copy.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.
