the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters:

• Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

• Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023

• 60% oppose more military aid to Israel

• 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state

And my fav article on Mamdani www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...

@gelliottmorris.com rightfully points out that Dems face a challenge in agenda setting, specifically around affordability.

But, I'd be curious what NYC voters believe Mamdani is focused on. Because I think he has trailblazed a clear path for Dems to follow re: costs.

Challenging ≠ impossible.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

One thing she *can* do is call her Senator, and have all her friends do the same. If enough people did this, we'd keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans.

Trump’s chaotic tariffs and policies are raising prices and causing financial pain for American farmers.

Before people call to ask. Measles is not available as a single antigen product in the USA. It's not FDA approved, we don't carry it, and we can't order it for you.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

it was literally in a bag

Obviously that begs the question "What's popular" -- but polls and this rule of thumb below can help:

bsky.app/profile/aaro...

Dems in d̶i̶s̶a̶r̶r̶a̶y̶ alignment! Take popular positions on salient issues to win in tough districts. (Phew, what were we arguing about then?)

Let's go beat these fascists.

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

that book exists! foner wrote it a few years back! wwnorton.com/books/978039...

Pressure works. Let's keep it up.

Wow, the public just has no idea what affects housing prices -- and what to do about it. Candidates need to run on lowering grocery prices, not housing.

Ack, forgot the link. It's from @lauren-egan.bsky.social's great write-up:

www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-big...

Sen. Murphy is rethinking his well-earned stance test on guns and gets it exactly right.

Big tent parties + election wins + step-by-step reforms = durable change. See: Social Security, Civil Rights

Fewer litmus tests; more freedom.

Anyway, here's the post I'm referring to if anyone can enlighten me

Here's another way to put my confusion: if the goal is to identify the pre-election correlates of success (a reasonable goal!) then shouldn't the main output table be *which candidate traits* have the highest correlation with real-world success?

ie, which is more important: incumbency or youth?

I will admit to being confused by @gelliottmorris.com's WAR model. If we're not using election results (either House OR presidential) then why is the main output a list of candidates?? Those top candidates may or may *not* have actually over-performed (the Miller-Meeks example GEM discusses)
