Maybe Eric Schmitt thought Jack Smith was meeting with Ethan Hawke

My guess that Schmitt had this all teed up. He’d KO Smith and then other GOP Senators would kick him while he was down. Then the conservative media machine would talk about nothing else for the next week.

My college is offering a "a strategist‑led Zoom session for our faculty" to learn about Blackboard Ultra. Fortunately, I have root canal scheduled for that day.

One note about this, because I was curious: remarkably, the state-level explanatory power of Google searches for testosterone and Trump vote survives controls for education, income, and rurality.

Iowa has had a Republican governor for the last 16 years. He could have retired at any time after he turned 77.

I feel fine but I booked a Dr.’s appointment and a CT scan just to make sure no one accuses me of insurance fraud.

Long tradition of non-interventionism/isolationism in places like Iowa. Combine that with Farm Belt economic pressures and you've got a recipe for disaster.

My new piece for @atrupar.com Public Notice—about how Trump cheats and so often gets away with it—is now live. It’s paywalled and hopefully some of you will consider subscribing to PN in support of my work. Thx! open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

“Cheat like hell”

Trump is proof that cheaters often win.

Once again, Fox News is helping the GOP. Showing all JD Vance speeches would probably give the Dems 5-10 extra seats in November.

Sure but did it have snipers and drones?

Networks halting coverage of Trump really is the best thing Republicans could hope for in this election home stretch.

'For every 1% increase in the proportion of women in the student body [vet school], 1.7 fewer men applied. One more woman applying was a greater deterrent for boys than $1000 in extra tuition!" celestemdavis.substack.com/p/male-fligh...

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?

We would rather talk about literally everything else.

At my gate at O’Hare they just made an announcement for the person who left their shoes in the ladies restroom. So many questions.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but the latest polls for the generic ballot and various Senate races are looking brutal for the Republicans--D+9 and +11 in the House generic ballot and traditionally very red states like KS, IA, FL, SC, NE, and MT are looking competitive for the Senate.🤞
