Outgoing Rep. Chip Roy goes gloves-off re Ken Paxton
“I’m pissed off at a Republican establishment that embraced corrupt people at the top of the ticket too often. You can’t win an election and beat corruption when you put at the top of your ticket in Texas someone that we knew to have massive issues … we spent $500 million trying to chase winning that one race at the expense of all the others.”
on the corporate side, it’s incredibly common for journalist to write story based on think tank study / academic paper and then say to industry “we’ll add comment” without ever litigating the integrity of the study, its methodology, assumptions or the bias of the author.
This is almost the entirety of healthcare journalism.
All too often, it is. I think a lot of Dem operatives, wonks and think tank types are not used to being on the receiving end, so this reversal feels unnatural.
I'm a fan of City Journal, but in no universe is Arizona State better than any of these schools. None of the people who work at Manhattan Institute would send their kids to ASU over Vanderbilt, Princeton, or Stanford.
@TwinkTheory I’m usually not sarcastic on here for exactly that reason, but the moralizing and self righteousness over “your follow up emails are a sin against humanity” required a change in tone
The states without an income tax are generally very attached to not having an income tax, and I don't think it's a good idea for Dems from the Northeast to weigh in and tell local Dems to fight for an income tax.
