Texas Is In Play Dan Patrick privately is telling donors his own Senate seats are slipping. The Texas House is within reach. Flip the House, take the Senate to 16–15, and every GOP priority dies. 35 days left. Here's the math. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Watchdog clears former US Fed chief Powell in renovation probe
The US Federal Reserve's Office of the Inspector General found no 'reasonable grounds' to justify criminal charges against the institution's former chair, according to a report published on Wednesday. The US president demands that Powell should be 'forced to resign' or 'sued, at the highest level.'

7/ Look at the mechanism. A complex issue becomes a moral drama: children are in danger, an enemy threatens the country, a religion is blamed for everything bad, everything is rigged, this is the last chance to save us. The stories can change while the same emotional architecture keeps repeating.

5/ So emotional forensics cannot mean “spot anger and call it manipulation.” It has to ask harder questions: Where did the emotion come from? Is the grievance supported by evidence? Who framed the target? Who amplified it? And what behavior is that emotion being pushed toward?

3/ That matters because correcting the claim does not automatically erase the frame around it. Fear can remain. So can suspicion of an out-group, anger at an institution or the sense that society is under permanent threat. A debunk can win the fact check while losing the emotional battle.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
