Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

This is a near perfect article whose only defect is the fact that it refers to them as Dan Sullivans rather than the correct Dans Sullivan. www.washingtonsun.com/national/dan...
This is such a bonkers thing to try to bet on, or be able to bet on. It's almost the like is just serving degenerate gamblers! dukechronicle.com/article/duke...
“Our goal is to comply" is quite a quote from the president of Duke, with or without context www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

Tbf, the Browns ownership has already made its position on sexual abuse allegations clear
The Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Reds, Blue Jackets, Cavaliers, Crew, and FC Cincinnati. The owners of every single pro sports team in Ohio have all donated to Vivek Ramaswamy. And not a single one has spoken up about his recent ad. www.foiaball.com/p/ohio-sport...

He is remarkably consistent in supporting alleged perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence and attacking their victims
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

"For a campaign to cast doubt on a rival’s account of childhood sexual abuse is shocking; to do so despite such evidence is despicable." By @dgraham.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
It's too early to say what impact Vivek Ramaswamy's appalling ad will have on the campaign, but his obnoxious personality is the biggest reason why Ohio's governorship, which hasn't gone to a Democrat since 2006, is even in play www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Vivek Ramaswamy’s widely condemned attack ad is the latest example of how he has turned a race that should have been a safe GOP win into a toss-up, @dgraham.bsky.social argues:

The Supreme Court has, over the course of decades, legalized behavior that is poisonous to a functioning democracy, Leo J. Wise, a former Justice Department prosecutor, argues:

One factor I'll be watching is how many Democrats shift from vote by mail to in person (especially early) voting, given Trump's relentless attacks on mail voting and his attempts to shut it down.
Still probably some lagging final Florida in-person early vote reports for the 33 counties that offered in-person early vote today, but I can clearly see compared to 2022 that in-person early voting is way up on this first day and registered Democrats are leading the way, more than doubling turnout

Cleveland.com made a big deal about using AI to write stories so it could free up reporters to do more reporting. This ain’t it.
Are we really doing this as news? Really? www.cleveland.com/news/2026/10...
There's still no one who can match Lefsetz's troll game www.vulture.com/article/will...
I delved into three cases of botched executions in the past—stories that seemed more like bizarre stuff of myth to me at one time, and now feel more like tales of pragmatism www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I’m going to start asking people if they’ll disavow the Jacobites.
Weird debater locutions. “The evidence would show, in my opinion.” Well, does it? Show us! This isn’t just a rhetorical game
Q: Were Medicare and Medicaid mistakes? Vivek Ramaswamy: I believe they were. I think the evidence would show that it has harmed the very people that it was created to actually help
