The article is TL/DR and from a source I won't pay to use our support. But ...

I'm confident not one of them ever outright says, "Because folks like us are doing a shitty job."

Ah yes, so grandstanding is he Republican solution to healthcare. Thanks for cleaning that up.

Q: Is any work being done on a Republican solution to the healthcare cliff?

MIKE JOHNSON: When I say that Republicans have been working on a fix for healthcare, we've been doing this for years. We're doing right now what we have been doing.

Today's reminder that Nate Silver is a dipshit.

In anticipation of Nov 4’s coverage:

Adams squeaked out a 0.8 point victory in the primary and was hailed as The Future of the Dems. Nate Silver thought he had Presidential possibilities.

Mamdani won by 13 points and ~100,000 more votes, and is still treated as some strange aberration.
Adam’s razor-thin win Mamdani’s big win.

Rich tools like Bessent don't understand the difference between losing a bit on an investment and losing your entire fucking livelihood.

Bessent on American farmers being hurt by tariffs: "Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too."

Trump humiliates Johnson behind closed doors, but Johnson humiliates himself in public every day.

It isn't journalism or poll analysis. And why test him nationally at all? What possible intelligence or insight can be gained about the national popularity of a local candidate, even one from NYC?

Chris Cillizza @chriscillizza.bsky.social The three questions I would ask Donald Trump (and much more! chriscillizza.substack.com/p/friday-mai... 1. What's the single greatest accomplishment of your life? Why? 2. You often talk about your father. What lessons did you learn from him that you employ in your life now? 3. You recently mused about Heaven. You said you weren't sure you would get in. Why? October 24, 2025 at 2:04 PM Everybody can reply

In Trump's defense, he clearly views golf courses as sacred places, suitable for the remains of White Houses and the mother of your children.

Now reporters knowingly print and amplify lies. They hide behind rationalizations that if both sides are complaining, then they must be doing something right.

I got into the racket because I believed in the power of the truth and the commitment to foster an informed public. Neither exists anymore.

The national press corpse has been failing us since 2016. The decline started much earlier. I walked away from journalism just after 2000 and seeing too many stories like "Republicans say sky is red, Dems say blue." Reporters couldn't be bothered to find the truth and report it.
