Lakshya is being characteristically modest, but that's not my vibe.
In one year @TheArgumentMag has built a polling program that rivals firms that have been doing this for *years*. Huge kudos to our director of political data for his incredible work here.

Basically: potentially the best model (whether it's #1 or #2 depends on how the rest of these shake out) and the #6 overall national pollster in America for this cycle!

I don’t think this definition of “scromiting” would have passed the sniff test at The New York Times or The Washington Post if they had read it. Which leads me to believe that they didn’t read it before reporting it.

Wrote an autopsy of Platner's campaign for @TheArgumentMag. Platner was already a liability for Democrats before the rape allegation, but polling shows that it wasn't because of the tattoo or Reddit. It was the infidelity.

There’s no good reason for cold medicine to bundle together three or more active ingredients. It’s bad for the consumer and rewards the industry’s worst instincts.

Matt Yglesias and I have been arguing about policy since our days at The Weeds.
We agree on a lot -- which makes the disagreements way more interesting.

Episodes start Thursday, April 9!

Days after @KelseyTuoc excoriated DC government for sitting on their self-driving car study, they've announced they're restarting the study.

Very cool that it becomes a national crisis anytime gas prices go either up or down

Not a coincidence that the people who grew up with the internet are doing *orders of magnitude* worse when it comes to emotional well-being.
And, of course, both of these achievements pale in comparison to those of their classmate, the copy editor for @TheArgumentMag

Today at @TheArgumentMag we're publishing something very different.
A mother in Georgia wrote to us after her IUD failed. Her email said:
"…if our policies weren’t so illiberal, I very well might have decided to stay pregnant."
