This is like watching a perfect quarterback fake, when the entire defense gets fooled and he just strolls into the endzone.

Everyone NEEDS to spend 5 Minutes listening to this clip tonight of Obama Talking about Trump's Reaction to his Cheesecake Factory comment.
It's not only hilarious, but so true.
Every American needs to watch this.

Nate Silver thinks this election could mark "the end of the Trump era." Out on the podcast tomorrow.

Remember Roy McGrath, Larry Hogan's chief of staff who was indicted for fraud, skipped his trial, & was killed in an FBI traffic stop in Knoxville in 2023? The FBI quietly posted its case file to the Vault a few days ago. A few interesting things:
1. Agents pulled 36 flash drives from a bag in his Escalade. McGrath had claimed to possess recordings of @LarryHogan. (In fact Maryland charged him under the state wiretap law for secretly recording Hogan & others, & that same law bars authorities from releasing the recordings.) The file lists the drives but never mentions them again. They also recovered more than $6k in cash, 7 cellphones, a computer, as well as a 9mm handgun, a box of ammo, &, for some reason, a cap gun.
2. The shot count. One witness at the Sonic drive-thru heard a single shot; another heard "five or six." The FBI's evidence log shows two spent casings — one beside the agent's vehicle, one on McGrath's own dashboard. The Knox County DA later concluded both guns fired at the same instant, which is why an audio recording only registered one bang. The FBI's file never says who fired what.
3. Fourteen pages are withheld under the "deliberative process" exemption, which is almost certainly where the @FBI's review of its own shooting lives. The Bureau investigated the Bureau, then redacted the verdict.
There are no agent statements in the release — only bystanders, deputies, & the evidence team.
As usual, the pages that aren’t completely withheld are heavily redacted, as you can see below.
BGE wants to charge Baltimore City customers a $9 monthly surcharge to account for the conduit rate increasing. I have some thoughts.

If BGE wants to start charging counties and municipalities based on operational expense, why limit this practice to Baltimore City?

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

They broke Eisenhower’s globe because they didn’t want to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it.
I cannot think of a more apt metaphor for Pete Hegseth’s DoD.

If the generic ballot/national environment is really D +10 or something, that reflects a 12-point shift from 2024, so a whole tranche of states (IA, TX, OH, AK, FL) that Trump won by ~12 points behave as toss-ups.
Yes
It's easier to build housing in Atlanta than in, say, New York City. Part of this is surely due to differences in regulation. But there is one constraint that applies everywhere: commute time. Atlanta grew outwards for decades, but now has some of the worst commute times in the entire country. Recent development is disproportionately urban infill, and it's more expensive. I disagree with Glaeser: I don't think places like Atlanta are growing more costly because they suddenly turned NIMBY—I think they reached the limits to sprawl.
