Pollsters after tonight’s results

I've seen enough: Janet Protasiewicz defeats Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result flips ideological control of the court from conservative to liberal, a huge victory for the pro-choice side.

This is genuinely an unbelievable thing to tweet when you’re in serious legal and business jeopardy. It is a masterpiece. The Mona Lisa.

21) NOT ADVICE, OF ANY KIND, IN ANY WAY I WAS NOT VERY CAREFUL WITH MY WORDS HERE, AND DO NOT MEAN ANY OF THEM IN A TECHNICAL OR LEGAL SENSE; I MAY WELL HAVE NOT DESCRIBED THINGS RIGHT though I'm trying to be transparent. I'M NOT A GOOD DEV AND PROBABLY MISDESCRIBED SOMETHING.

What if, and I’m just spitballing here, the issue with FTX was the normalization of trading fake assets that anyone can invent out of thin air with no regulation and that have no underlying value. Nope, can’t be it.

One potential takeaway from tonight is that the US is a center left country with a gerrymandering problem. If republicans are going to turn in a historically poor midterm performance now in this moment, a lot of talking heads need to re-evaluate their priors on this stuff.

it's fucking hilarious to me that a seemingly innocuous iOS update - allowing users to do a single-click opt in or out of data collection/tracking/analysis by apps - single-handedly torpedoed $10 billion and counting in Facebook's ad revenue

In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.

i see we're back to the usual cycle. 1. refuse to engage the "culture war" or even offer the slightest pushback to GOP smears. 2. "address pocketbook issues" but don't actually pass legislation to that effect 3. lose and inevitably, 4. blame the left after the fact
recipe for disaster: "New York Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a member of House Democratic leadership said the best thing Democrats could do is ignore the attack and focus on addressing the pocketbook issues that polls show Americans care about the most" vice.com/en/article/k7wjq3/d…

it'll never happen but i'd love a president to say "i think the court deals with too many issues of general public concern to be stacked with a bunch of law nerds"
Biden about his SCOTUS short list: “they were the honor students, they come from the best universities, they have experience—some on the bench, some in the practice of law” he’s done a deep dive on 4 ppl “I’m not looking to make an ideological choice”

like i have said before, this is completely incoherent. “i believe partisan voting legislation will destroy our democracy which is why I want Congress to do nothing as states pass partisan voting legislation to destroy our democracy”
Manchin: “I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster.” wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op…
