This is truly enraging. The administration’s Colin Robinson spews a blend of cherry-picked data and outright lies and concludes “the polls are wrong,” i.e., Americans love the economy. I’ll bet he does this with Trump himself, who just wants affirmation, not facts—reinforcing his terrible ideas.

Yeah, this is good. People should realize that survey research folks try hard to learn from what happens in each cycle - and then on top of that polling methods have been changing a fair amount. So while some errors will happen, they're not especially likely to be the *same* errors.

I find this claim, which is now common in right-wing ed discourse, really astonishing. It rests at the core of the post-truth vision of "viewpoint diversity": we should not teach the conclusions that research shows to be correct; rather, we should validate empirically discredited ideas just because.

Fostering this civic orientation does not mean teaching students the “right” way to think or act
according to a preferred political or moral perspective. A transformative education is premised
on developing sound judgment, not on delivering correct conclusions.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"

Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

It's insane that the president is this incredibly stupid and, moreover, weirdly proud of it. "You know, I never knew what the hell was a circle was. Most people don't, you know. Well, a circle has three sides and three corners. I call the corners 'rutabagas' but Democrats won't tell you that."
