From Nate Cohn’s new article on polling accuracy.

Basically, pollsters are terrified of being wrong again, so they’re flat-out ignoring “very blue” results.

“As a result, pollsters are more willing to take steps to produce more Republican-leaning results.”

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

The more I think about it, the more that this is just an AMAZING admission from the NYT pollster.

He's saying that his people are so terrified of being wrong that they're literally stoking fires of a Trump victory... which will fuel Trump's claims that the vote was rigged.

Perhaps SpaceX is successful because Musk is focused elsewhere.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

If this asshole could just focus on SpaceX, he would be a hero. Instead, he insists on being a villain.

From @TheAthletic: The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series after defeating the San Diego Padres, a longtime rival. https://t.co/KM26aznpo0

love the idea of immigrants crossing the border and immediately outbidding a white couple for a 3 bed/2 bath in suburban Virginia

With Kris Kristofferson’s passing, that means just Willie Nelson is left.

[Hal Corley @Halcyon270]

An inconvenient truth for @MSNBC: the NY Times's normalizing Trump coverage is very much the election story. If you daily book Times reporters/pundits, Mara Gay, Michelle Goldberg, Susan Craig, Michael Schmidt, Jeremy Peters, shouldn't you ask about their paper being under fire?

[Brooks Benson @BrooksBenson]

@YNB So did I.

[Brooks Benson @BrooksBenson]

Me too.

I have missed Barack Obama

The Simpsons are incredible. This is from 2006.

Carter is a great human and was a much better President than he’s remembered as. Probably the most unfairly maligned President of the last century. 🫡

Idolizing Trump is like believing the stripper really likes you

I admire Kruk and Kuiper for their mental gymnastics to find positive things to say/spin this terrible product.

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

President @JoeBiden did more in one term than many Presidents have done in a lifetime. Don’t forget that

[Sebastian Bach™️ @sebastianbach]

Never in my life will I understand how a debate on TV could mean more than an insurrection on the capital

[Brooks Benson @BrooksBenson]

Beautiful!

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

There will be no Trump pivot. There will be no new tone. He is who he is. Pundits claiming otherwise at this late date are either absurdly credulous or deliberately carrying his water.
