Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

NYT, the day after Trump’s death: President Biden served his country well holding off the vibrantly colorful vigor of Donald Trump. But now that he’s passed on, he needs to pass the torch to a new generation and resign.

the california tech community has been like this for ages too and usually their brilliant ideas for Dems fall into 1 of 3 buckets 1) standard practice for a decade ("targeted online ad buys!") 2) supplanted by better tech ("microtargeting") 3) overhyped vaporware (Project Narwhal)

Smaller districts means smaller demand for constituent services on the district side. You’d probably see most legislative staff get consolidated into the caucuses rather than working for individual members. It’d look a lot like state legislatures staffing wise I imagine

There are some practical issues since the physical House itself can’t seat too many more…. But that was true in the past as well and they simply built a new, larger one. There’d be a budget increase for additional staff but it would be closer to 2x rather than 5x.

one thing you pretty consistently see is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "that's old news, everyone knows it, no need to report it." another is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "everyone is talking about this, we must cover it" convenient!
