Former NJ AG Matt Platkin: They’re indicting the SPLC for allegedly misusing donor funds to infiltrate and disrupt white supremacist networks by paying informants. Now they’re turning around and they’re going to take $1.8 billion of public money not to disrupt those networks, but to fund them.

This year, many of the judges who have taken part in those decisions will be on the ballot. One of the justices who struck down Wyoming’s ban is up for reelection this year; so are justices who sided with proponents of abortion rights in Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico. 

Justices who upheld restrictions on abortion and reproductive rights are up in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Key point here. @nytimes.com made the editorial choice to elevate Third Way memo because it buttressed "Dems divided over Abolish ICE" story they set out to tell. And Third Way produced the memo because they knew it would get media attention from reporters looking to tell that story. It's all rotten

I think we have to prepare for, given the overall sad state of network news, that the Bari Weiss/Tony Dokoupil move actually works as far as getting a ratings bump. If dumbing down and steering the news rightward didn't work, we'd have a very different country right now.

As we go into the new year, remember Philip Esformes. In 2019, he was convicted for a massive $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme. It was the largest health-care fraud scheme ever prosecuted by the DOJ. One year later, Trump commuted him. He was arrested again last year for domestic violence.

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics

This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000.

Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts.

Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age.

Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts.

Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations.

The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.
