Not even Chotiner can defeat a pollster. 'The vibes are bad but this is unprecedented but also it looks bad but anything could happen still certain predictions being made are useless but other predictions aren't and also the problem is limited to Biden, I think'

I knew this story but not about the doc. What Dugas provided was epidemiologically invaluable, but if his family tried to set the record straight it would discourage others from disclosing. I don't know if that's the reason for their stoicism on this, but god is it heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing.

This is the most insane article. The FBI finding cut is just the tip of the iceberg. They want to cut IVF funding for troops? Prohibit funding for Ukraine? If the FBI can't be the favored secret police of the state, who can?

As far as I can tell just about all the post debate polls moved within the margin of error. I'm supposed to freak out about that? Do you know how many other real things I have to freak out about just today?

As the article notes, it went from the Roberts Court straight to the Thomas Court thanks to Trump. The real victim? Samuel Alito, the Washington Generals of power mad conservatives Justices.

Speaking as a semanticist, it's wild to me that they are phrasing it in terms of whether an *act* is characterized as "official", when what they seem to actually be talking about is whether there exists a *description* of the act that can be characterized as "official".
