Great experiment here in partisan bias: views of policy without (dot) and with (arrow) the proposing candidate being mentioned.

The early vote in Westchester shows a strong correlation between the density of Jewish voters and support for Latimer. www.washingtonpost.com/elections/20...

In a newly released photo from Mar-a-Lago: a box that held classified documents, some Trump campaign hats, an Hermes box and a bunch of Diet Coke.

Genetically predisposed to finding hot summer days annoying.

In each of these counties, if every single resident saved a year’s salary and pooled it, they wouldn’t be able to match what billionaire Timothy Mellon contributed to a pro-Trump PAC. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Includes an interactive letting you figure how much of your own salary you need to save up to reach Mellon (or Bloomberg) levels.

Happy to help Twitter with its advertisers.

Quote skeet with one of your fav films that isn't a hit

Partisans agree that democracy is at risk — and that the risk is less about elections themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
