if this observation makes sense to you on the first pass it's time to think about scheduling your first colonoscopy

This is a pretty amazing result: www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... After the assassination, Trump lost support. I think it speaks to the possibility of a dem victory in November that even with the Dems trying to oust their candidate and Trump almost dying, they are still polling equal

Donald Trump does not get post-shooting poll boostwww.newsweek.com The new poll has revealed that Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point ahead of the presidential election in November.

Now that the Euros and the Copa are over I have no more soccer to watch. I should find a team to root for

President Joe Biden on Monday released a budget proposal aimed at getting voters’ attention: It would offer tax breaks for families, lower health care costs, smaller deficits and higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations. apnews.com/article/bide...

Biden's budget proposal for a second term offers tax breaks for families and lower health care costsapnews.com Unlikely to pass the House and the Senate to become law, the proposal for fiscal 2025 is an election year blueprint.

I've become so sports pilled as of late. I'm out here watching soccer, reading Tour De France updates and news. I'm watching the dodgers. Good summer

due to professional allegiances I am rooting for England now

Great newsletter and also a shout-out to my favorite YouTuber

"Slop" has become the defining genre of the 2020s. And now everything has to meet two contradictory requirements. It must fill the content void and also be the most popular thing ever. www.garbageday.email/p/slop-void

The climate choice and stakes could not possibly be clearer in this election. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

'Drill, baby, drill': Trump’s Project 2025 would gut all U.S climate policywww.msnbc.com Chris Hayes on Trump’s Project 2025: “Not only do they have no plan to mitigate the effects of climate change, they want to actively make it worse by undoing all climate regulations.”

They won't, but I think it would be really funny for Canada to beat Argentina

It's hard to explain how widespread the repercussions of overturning Chevron deference will be. Even if you narrow the scope down to tech policy, you're left wrangling a super-explainer on a friday afternoon www.theverge.com/24188365/che...

What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and morewww.theverge.com The end of Chevron deference will touch on everything from broadband policy to climate change.

Credit to my colleagues Wynton Wong and Chabeli Carazanna who actually timed it.

Swing and a miss: Trump and Biden spent more time talking about golf than child care19thnews.org A key issue for many parents made the debate — but Biden barely addressed it, and Trump not at all.

Progressives are mad at AIPAC. And now, after Jamaal Bowman's defeat, AIPAC has turned its attention to MO-1. They've already spent $2m on the race.

Eleven years ago, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act in #ShelbyCounty, arguing that "things have changed" since the 1960s. Today, we know that things have changed since this ruling: namely, that the turnout gap exploded in formerly-covered places 1/n www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

just one of those perfect paragraphs www.theguardian.com/media/articl...

Robert Caro has a very fun book series all about how the civil rights act was incremental

Freddie deBoer once tweeted something like “Was Social Security incremental? Was the Civil Rights Act? Medicare?” To which I responded “yes, yes, and yes” and started to explain how each of those landmark laws came about and were expanded … but he blocked me after the first tweet.

I always thought that Gotye was a one hit wonder and that he just never matched the success of Somebody That I Used to Know, but no, he just hasnt released an album since!

apparently i need to pay to subscribe to the dictionary now
