@mattyglesias But the equal representation of small states in the Senate does benefit those states in the EC because it allows them to command a larger share of electoral votes than they would under a purely proportional system.

@Chase Zelle is also glitching and duplicating payments. Fix this now and pay people back the money you incorrectly debited and a premium for the inconvenience and fees we’ve all incurred.

@joshtpm For sure vaccine resistance is a major driving factor. But could the political generational split also be at play? Republicans tend to be older, and the biggest risk factor with COVID mortality is age.

Fisherman jerseys, 4 owners in jail, 1 a total fraud, efforts to condemn the Coliseum, annual coaching changes, poor management decisions and Brooklyn. Been some ride, but amidst the chaos, crime and Kvashas, here are the Islanders, one win from the Final. Good luck tonight!

@Sen_JoeManchin Too bad you’re not in a position of power to do anything about this other than gripe on Twitter.

NEW @mercatus paper on how occupational licensing means more student debt https://t.co/TTDiYoq5IE

@CharlesPPierce McConnell didn’t get anything. He wanted the “no filibuster reform” pledge written into the organizing resolution. He did not get that. Instead, all he got was a verbal commitment from two Dem senators who’d already publicly opposed reform anyway. His gambit failed.

@mattyglesias An “armed protest” is not a protest. It’s an insurrection.

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@joshtpm The bad grammar in this makes it read like a RedState comment rather than an official release (“their families comfort” missing the possessive apostrophe). More disturbingly, the fascist-adjacent capitalization of “Nation.”

@mattyglesias If he’s too dangerous for major social media platforms then he’s too dangerous for network television, which has a far larger audience.

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@mattyglesias Then television networks should refuse to air his content. If he goes on Fox, mainstream news orgs should not give him free media by rebroadcasting the clips. De-center him, immediately.

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@mattyglesias Unfortunately, McConnell doesn’t care about giving money to a city full of Democrats.

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@mattyglesias The attempt to steal the election, even if that attempt fails, is significant. It underscores the need for pro-democratic reforms, backed by the full resources of the federal government, so they can never try this again.

Holy crap @shortformhq is amazing!

Finished reading the summary of Influence by Ciadini in 10 minutes flat and learned everything I needed. Couldn't even get through one chapter of that book in long form. The summary is really well written too!

@tabletalkpies Love you guys so much! Your company should be taking over the world and making Hostess quake with fear!

@jayrosen_nyu @nytimes And to be clear, the delegitimization of @nytimes is bad (even if it’s a self-inflicted wound in this case). While the Op-Ed section may be deeply problematic, the paper still does excellent reporting. Its destruction would be a big blow to liberal democracy.

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@jayrosen_nyu How do Baquet and Bennett keep their jobs? They handed a major propaganda victory to a fascist, who is surely crowing about how he was able to sow dissension at the hated @nytimes. Is it just the goodwill of Sulzberger? Is it more complex than that?

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@remhq Totally!

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@Instacart My delivery window was for between 3-5 and its now after 7 in New York. Can you please help me track the status of my order?

[Rob Schurz @RobSchurz]

@jayrosen_nyu This is the logical endpoint of that sort of rhetoric. It never ends well...
