MARIE KONDO: Does this bring you joy?
HANK HILL: They're called linesman's pliers, and yes, they bring me a great deal of joy.
I feel rather strongly that the editor of SCOTUSblog should should not make a suggestion that literally everyone left of Josh Blackman thinks is a horrible idea.

Remembering @JDVance saying that if Watergate happened today it would be a 12 hour new story, a kind of tacit permission to ignore the corruption of this administration. And then the country revolts against this administration at Watergate levels. Neat.

Jolly’s decision not to debate Donalds was moronic —a dumb candidate’s idea of a smart tactic
Since spring, I told Mike & others that Jolly was running a campaign to ensure he’d finish in second place with 48.5% of the vote
Jolly got 48.71%
I was off by 0.2%
I said this to the excellent @davidjollyfl at his first big Democratic event in Miami. He agreed! His awesome wife @laurajollyfl said Different Kind of Democrat should be his slogan! Because he is a different kind of Democrat! But he didn’t run as a different kind of Democrat. 3

Think bigger: let’s get rid of the Electoral College, now that the GOP has to stare down the possibility of a D Presidential ticket carrying the state by 10,000 votes and losing every last electoral vote.
While I don't know what happened to him afterwards, Brian Shaffer left the Gateway building before he disappeared. You can walk under the main entrance camera (obvious from the footage!) and there are a couple back entrances.
Cops fed rumors to keep the story alive.
I was just thinking today, what's the most "solved" unsolved mystery?
I think my favorite is Amy Bradley. She disappeared after going out drinking until 4 AM on a cruise ship and was last seen sitting on a balcony drunk off her ass and every youtube video on the subject thinks it's more likely she was kidnapped by white slavers and sex trafficked to a brothel in Curacao than that she drunkenly fell off a boat

Maps to come later. But comparing Gina Hinojosa (Gov) with Jon Rosenthal (Railroad Commissioner), really cool coalition splits.
Hinojosa did better with rural whites. There were Hinojosa-Bo French voters, if you can believe it.
Rosenthal did *MUCH* better with Indians and Pakistanis. Some precincts in Frisco and Sugar Land had 15-20 point ticket splits with Rosenthal-Abbott.

I am 100% Team Nate in this beef. It’s *obvious* to anyone paying attention that the betting markets just moved over time towards the models. That’s the info they were working off of! They didn’t “discover” anything

That impeachment vote will be fun.
