Putin brought up the deal when he met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin on Sept. 5. Putin proposed it get done as a way of showing Russians that they can do business with the United States. The Americans responded that they'd work on it, seeing it as a way to build good will with the Kremlin.

I was mentally prepared for the House Republicans’ new report on antisemitism in K-12 schools to conflate Israel policy criticism and antisemitism. I wasn’t expecting them to throw climate science in the antisemitism bucket as well (among other things). That’s my failure of imagination I suppose.

Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit. We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.

Thats a threat. Plain and simple. No other way to read it.

Although polls, real or fake, don't move markets much, slight evidence that markets discounted fake polls vs real ones in the short term (tbd if it holds up). Fake polls drew about as many traders as real ones, betting the same way, but more of them were experienced accounts

Turns out my MiL got kicked off the voter rolls somehow. Registered (and votes) her whole life but this year? No dice. She normally votes by mail the last decade or so due to health decline. 1 less vote for the red team. huzzah!

the ads write themselves, but will any dem use them? all you gotta do is add the soundtrack: Nearer, My God, to Thee indeed.

I am no campaign manager but I would concentrate less on appealing to the opposing party and more time energizing your own base.

UPDATE: I found Wedgewood’s Kalshi account. He goes by Andrew and has been insider trading using the fake polls that he was posting. I reported this to Kalshi, hope they do something about it @gelliottmorris.com

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Arctic Research Commission has advised Congress and the president on what to study in the far north. Trump appointed a venture capitalist and MAGA influencer with no formal science background — and ties to Russia — as its chair.
