I wish the NYT had added that the sum is not at all staggering to Musk. It's about equivalent to me giving $50 to Sue AnderBois.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Perhaps this does not sway you. But surely 12 point superiority at identifying "a sentence that uses a word in the same way it is used in the passage" far outweighs trailing by 10 points on "identify a character's motivation and choose a quotation from the story that best supports that motivation."

OMG, sell the house and move to Barrington because their 12-point margin over Vartan's 4th graders on "Determine whether quotations from the passage are examples of a main idea or a detail" is so much more impt than their 11-point lag on "Identify the text feature that best organizes the passage."

I don't see anything erratic here. For over a decade, Trump has prioritised "getting along with Russia"; since 20 January 2025, Trump administration policy has reflected that priority. It's perhaps the most consistent aspect of Trump foreign policy. 🧵on Trump and sanctions.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I am begging every reporter writing about RICAS to suspend the topline rush and spend some quality time understanding how the tests are constructed/what they measure. You might come away amazed at how ignorance of small variations at the question level shape large public narratives.

"Trump has moved the ethical line" drives me crazy. It pretends there are no other actors with agency in 🇺🇸 politics or the media. You could have treated this as a nonstop five-alarm scandal & crisis for democracy. You didn't do that. You did for EMAIL & BIDEN OLD. Other choices were right there.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Here in Texas, Republicans basically aren't even bothering with Spanish-language ads. This sends a negative competence signal to many Latino voters, who are generally English fluent but get the message that Republicans don't care about them. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/02/t...

“The latest evidence: fundraising reports from Lyons’ MAHA Political Action Committee that show fewer than 20 donors this year, totaling $1 million, far short of the $100 million Lyons promised to raise to help Republicans allied with Kennedy in this year’s elections. Many of its donors are companies that have interests before the Health Department, POLITICO found”
