"So many people are coming to us who have never come to the food bank before. It used to be people who were working hourly-wage jobs. Now we see salary employees." Maybe we should measure the "strength" of the economy not by the stock market but by the length of the line at our local food bank?

I’ve been reporting on the CDC for years, and have written about many of its troubles over the past year. I was still shocked by the extent of the staff losses and political interference I found when reporting this one. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

There is no low too low for this partisan, lawless Supreme Court majority. Using the underhanded emergency docket to give Trump a power the Constitution does not allow, a fat thumb on the scale of elections. Disgraceful, six people who would be better on the Russian Supreme Court than in a democracy

This is a genuinely terrible piece of journalism: Reporting, editing, writing, all of it. (Photos OK). Will appear alongside the word "credulous" in dictionaries. I had thought that the WaPo's news section was still "mainly good," in contrast to its laughable editorial section. But...

That said, I don't think the results of these questions are useless! You just really need to think of them as directional rather than determinative: not, "would this actually change minds" so much as "do people think this is good, bad, or do they not really care"

The 2025 American Community Survey should have come out today. But it has been delayed because of unusual political encroachment at Census. ACS drives business and policy decisions, especially in local communities, and is the primary input to Census’s immigration estimates.

Useful rundown by @the-downballot.com of a minimum standard of what you should expect from public election polls: www.the-downballot.com/p/how-the-do... A lot of (though not complete) overlap with AAPOR standards, but I esp applaud these two sections

Everyone is stopping by to give their respects to the tree downed by the storm last night in Dupont Circle.

People gathered around the tree, with a roughly 20-foot tall trunk still standing. The top, where it cracked, sits beside it, covering over a walkway

The closeup of where the tree cracked, with charring (?) showing.
