Reporting live from the immigrant balcony of American politics. Here for the chaos, the contradictions, and the comedy of it all.

Oh look, the flag’s on the ground, guess it finally caught up to the vibe of Trump’s presidency. So much for “America First”; even the flag said, “No thanks, I’ve been through enough.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Everyone’s talking about Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey — but the real sleeper story is Mississippi. Democrats flipped multiple legislative seats and broke the GOP supermajority in the State Senate. In deep-red Mississippi! That’s news too — and it says something big is shifting.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

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?

I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug."
What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD was Satan's Butt Plug.
And I wish people would stop twisting my words.
