Gas prices are basically the only economic measure that people track on a near-daily basis. And right now they are significantly worse than when Biden was facing the 2022 midterms — and particularly in several states with close Senate elections. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Imagine how luck Schmitt is that he doesn’t represent a state that has the Jets, Mets and Nets. He’d never figure out who was doing what.

In my weekly newsletter, I recreated that terrific testosterone chart from @goodauth.bsky.social and tested some other possible correlates to Trump support. link.ctinsider.com/view/6650ab5...

Very funny this happened right after Axios was like "lots of buzz about Schmitt for VP" this morning.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

"Choosin' Texas" is actually a psy-op about Democrats and Talarico picking up a Senate seat.

Truly what encapsulates the past decade better than a person in a position of relative influence mistaking a smattering of social media criticism as not only an existential threat but a hallmark of her nefarious, powerful opponents?

Yeah because this went through three meetings and two dozen emails with the PR folks to find the balance that didn’t reek of self promotion.

Honestly amazing that no one can convince him that this is not going to have the political effect that he thinks. Probably letting him do it just so he doesn’t waste PAC money.

Pretty sure I just saw a tourist in Midtown incorrectly identify a dude as Al Roker — with him, in the accepted NYC fashion, declining to disabuse her of her error.

This is actually a great idea. Alongside the pomp of inauguration, make a new president agree to terms of service and a lease agreement on the White House under punishment of removal.

The White House effort to ban reporters is obviously a First Amendment issue. But it’s also explicitly about Trump thinking that th building and the presidency are *his* and not things the public is temporarily allowing him to use. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

I wrote this to try and bear witness; I hope you'll read it. If you do, I hope you'll later find some quiet to think about this man, pray for him if you'd like, and then find out what you can do to help those impacted by this violence and terror in your community.

This lawsuit was fundamentally cruel, kicking Selzer when she was down simply to bolster an inane claim that pollsters were for inexplicable reasons intentionally getting results wrong. Should not have taken this long.
