This is true. I was part of a survey and found myself having to say both: - I thought Biden is doing a good job, and - My vote is mostly against Trump. I want my kids to be able to vote too, so this is really kind of simple.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

Can you elaborate on your response? This is basically submitting falsified research for publication. This is how the next Wakefield will get into print.

As @joshchafetz.bsky.social says, this is a massive election year gift to the Republican Party. Instead of the consequences of right-wing extremism being fully on display, the story will be a "muddled legal landscape" with the suggestion that federal law can save us from red state legislatures.

In sum: hospitalizations from COVID-19 are still a significant public health issue. Uptake of vaccines is very low among those who are hospitalized. Age is still the biggest risk factor for hospitalization among adults. Half of hospitalized kids have no comorbidities.

It has been a week since CJ Boasberg released court filings that revealed the investigation into a suspected $10M payment to Trump during 2016 election implicated files in China, and AFAIK I'm the only one who reported that.

When future historians periodize US history, 2013 will mark the end of the US's first era of officially consensual multiracial democracy. After Shelby County v Holder began a period of acute struggle over democracy in the states and eventually at the federal level. The denouement remains to be seen

There was a data set at Andrew Gelman's @statmodeling.bsky.social blog a while back that showed:
1. WV consistently polled conservative, and
2. WV consistently voted even more conservative than it polled – by like a lot. By a greater gap than any other state.
The data looked so aberrant.
