The number of just cartoon level crimes that are eventually going to emerge when we can finally investigate is going to be incredible.

Ashley Hinson has voted to continue the war in Iran seven times, and Iowans are paying the price for that decision. Diesel is at an all-time high, fertilizer prices are skyrocketing, and fuel prices are increasing faster in Iowa than almost any other state.

No time limits for #IASen debate and no opening statements. I hope the moderators will keep Hinson from filibustering and hogging the time.

Cook Political Report just shifted the Kansas Senate race from Lean Republican to Toss Up. Trump won Kansas by 16 points, 57-41. Hard to know what to make of this, but it sure looks as if there are now many paths to a Dem majority.

Well done review. In particular, the point about over-relying on the expressed self-assessment of focus group participants. That sort of research can have value, and in general, Longwell does it well. But there's social desirability bias, as you note, plus problems assessing salience in the moment.

www.liberalcurrents.com/you-cant-bui... In the spirit of intramural rigor (as in, we are on the same side), I wrote a review of Sarah Longwell’s highly engaging but at times flawed new book on how to build an anti-MAGA coalition.

You Can't Build a Better Politics on Bad History
Sarah Longwell's "How to Eat an Elephant" offers useful advice for Democratic politics. Yet it is also based on a false history of the GOP.

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.
