"Even by the standards of this administration, the pursuit of Cassidy Hutchinson may be its nastiest and most repulsive move yet. . . The hounding of Hutchinson has an outsize moral dimension that lays bare the rot at the heart of the administration." harrylitman.substack.com/p/bring-me-t...

Hmm 🤔is there really any question about what corruption means under this current administration? #Politics #Corruption.

The Cook Political Report@cookpolitical.com

The issue of corruption has rocketed to the top of voters’ priority lists, with broad majorities citing it as a top election concern regardless of their political party. But it’s worth asking what, exactly, voters mean by “corruption.”

BREAKING: Israeli election officials say they will not be extending voting hours tonight. The Likud party had requested an extension. It's currently 8:45 PM in Israel and polls close at 10 PM.

Almost 20 years ago, frustrated at the lack of good, clean maps of poll closing times available to the public, I hired a graphic designer on Etsy (!) to create a better one. I've always loved this map, but we've continued to improve it over the years. Print, share, save as your desktop!

As Israel votes, and one week from our election, a cautionary note told to me a long time ago by a top Israeli pollster: Israeli voters tell the truth to pollsters— and lie when they vote

Yes please 🙏🏻🙏🏻😂, but I’m very skeptical it’s the end #Israel #Politics

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Turnout in Israel is currently 44.9% — the highest ever recorded at 2pm in Israeli history. I'm optimistic this means the end of Netanyahu. Polling won't have reflected just how many will decide on the day that they cannot vote for the man who presided over the biggest slaughter of Jews since WW2.

Haha doesn’t know the limits of his own power. What a dumbass with a “b” 😛 #Politics #Idiocracy

@mcuban.bsky.social says Democrats need a concrete plan if they want to run on Medicare for All: “It's sloganeering, not actually trying to do something. When I talk to people about Medicare for All, and they say, ‘Oh, you hate Medicare for All ’… I’m like, 'Show me the plan.'”

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.

I can't stress enough how counterproductive it is for campaign sites to hit visitors with a donation pop-up they have to close before they can see anything. A week out, most visits to these pages are voters trying to make up their minds.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

🤔 Trumps hoping to use people's reporting whether it's credible or not. Hoping fraudsters report and then he can disseminate the stories even before they are truly investigated and you know it.
