Hoffman & Velasco find that Americans overall give no preference to lesbian and gay migrants; however, Democrats, atheists, and lesbian and gay Americans find them more deserving.

Big AZ news: Karrin Taylor Robson, the more-establishment GOP candidate for governor of Arizona, just dropped out of the race.
This seems to seal the deal for Andy Biggs, a far-right member of Congress who chaired the Freedom Caucus, to get the GOP nod against Dem Governor Katie Hobbs.

The rejection of the policy has been overwhelming — and driven by judges of all ideologies. While the 28 judges who have backed the admin’s view are, with a few exceptions, Trump appointees.

1 in 3 American adults say they don't know who Pete Hegseth is. 1 in 5 say they don't know Marco Rubio is. I get it but it's still amazing to see it in the wild.
NEW: How Americans view key Trump administration officials
Trump, Vance, RFK Jr., Rubio and Hegseth all get more negative than positive reviews from the public, but some of them aren't especially well known. (31% of Americans haven't heard of Hegseth.)

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name.
The first field is called “Of the soldiers who stood in for their fathers”.
It’s ancient Excel, but I find that incredibly moving

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

It might be the #1 question pollsters get from regular folks: "How can you poll people when nobody answers the phone anymore?"
In fact, nearly all pollsters have ditched phone surveys for exactly that reason. New @pewresearch.org video explains:

We've got the numbers: Last year we published (in partnership with the @brennancenter.org and @umd-cdce.bsky.social) survey results showing that some 21.3 million Americans could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act, which the House''ll vote on tomorrow.
Time to send this thing back to its grave.
