Which will be higher in November: the 30-year mortgage rate or the generic Dem margin over Republicans?

I’m hoping @salgentile.bsky.social is in a flow state while writing the first Closer Look draft about Schmitt/Smith.

I would like events to stop happening for a bit, if that’s at all possible.

I feel like a no announcement release of a new season of I Think You Should Leave would solve a lot of problems in the world.

In both cases, the media were more than happy to pump up that idea of a mandate until it became unsustainably unpopular.

Sounds like we’re trying to peer pressure Iran into negotiating against itself because we’re so unreliable.

When does Andreessen Horowitz hire every member of that Cornell fraternity? Before or after end year?

Jeremy Chao @jmchao.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The Cornell frat rape story is horrific. It also happened like a month before maybe the most misogynistic election of my lifetime. There’s a connection there, especially with the feeling of impunity a lot of men felt during Trump’s reelection campaign and the ensuing months.

Jalen Brunson, you are good at many things, but comedy does not have to be one of them.

The best way to go to a job interview is to bring a sea bass fillet and pop it into the break room microwave right when you arrive.

Things are dire for the GOP if the NYT is pulling out the stops in Alaska.

If we're going through a party realignment, can we make it so the end state is the US liberal party is Red and the conservative party is Blue to match international norms? I'm sick of having it backwards because Tim Russert wanted a shorthand during the 2000 election.

“We can’t anger the corporations that are exploiting our constituents because the corporations are too powerful. However, we don’t want to go after the corporations for having too much power because we would like their money, too.”

Still insane that a President currently at 29% approval, who has never gotten over 50% in job approval or the popular vote, was deemed to have a mandate to remake the country in his image.

Jeremy Chao @jmchao.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It’s fun that the president, who struggles to stay awake during meetings, is so vehemently anti-woke.

Do you think Captain Kirk has a chip on his shoulder because his great great great grandfather was assassinated in Utah?

Wonder if a massive midterm rebuke of Trump will be covered the same way a 1.5% popular vote victory in 2024 was covered, or if they’ll just say “Americans want a divided government!” and look no further.

He wants to take things, say he’ll pay, then refuse to cough it up and have his lawyers sue instead. It’s a sure way to accumulate wealth if you’re amoral and already filthy rich.

9/11 used to mean something. The kids would rush down the stairs, eager to read Ari Fleischer’s annual live-tweet retelling of the tragedy. We’d have a breakfast of Freedom Toast and remember when the country was united in needing to invade Iraq because they once tried to kill the President’s daddy.

This is probably a warning about beef prices.

It’s not a big tent, it’s a tent that can fit either the Bulwark ex-Republicans or trans people and the party seems to be making the dumb choice.

“In a legally dubious move, President Trump declared ‘the purge is real and happening right now, go nuts, folks.’ We go now to our chief legal correspondent to discuss how this might alreasy have 5 votes in the Supreme Court.”

The funny thing is that probably like 400 people know when his birthday was, but everyone knows what tomorrow (today?) is.
