What?? He says that literally every day! He said today that bad polls for him should be illegal.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Something @JessicaValenti has talked about and writes about in her new book is how Republicans have tried to call national abortion bans "minimum national standards" like Vance just did.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Remarkable to see JD Vance pretend to be unaware that US energy production is up and US manufacturing is up dramatically right now, much higher than under Trump. Glad Tim Walz is laying down the facts here.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

This debate, like this whole election, is operating in ignorance of the fact that we're in the midst of the lowest amount of border crossings in years.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

This is pathetic. We can’t quit on our kids — they deserve better.

kind of remarkable how little political heat comes from tens of thousands of annual traffic-related deaths

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:

"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

Well worth your time: https://t.co/eHalcNkiBX

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

Heavy vehicles have a very asymmetric safety profile.

“For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles.”

@olsonplanner Is there someone you recommend specifically for folks that are IMGs with questions relating to immigration status/financial tools available? Or something your firm is able to handle?

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

Next year, half our tax code expires and this election is basically about turning a dial that has "less child poverty" on one side and "more money for billionaires" on the other side. Choose wisely!

[Saad @daasit93]

@alanthefisher lol. yes lt gov takes over tho!

[Saad @daasit93]

@KelseyTuoc @slooterman is that not just a public school then? I don't know how you square vouchers with taking money away from existing public systems

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

How does C. S. Lewis do that, every paragraph is a book

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

My family moved to the US when I was 8, but by the time I turned 20, my dad was still on an H1B (waiting to get processed for a green card).

Once I turned 21, I would age out as his dependent, despite the fact that I basically grew up in the US.

I thought I'd have to become a code monkey after college, and even that only if I was lucky enough to win the H1B lottery.

Otherwise, back to India.

I had become a huge fan of @paulg's essays in college. I was actually depressed that my desire to start a startup or do something entrepreneurial was basically hopeless.

Working on the promising podcast I was doing as a side project? A beyond impossible pipe dream.

Even after 9 years, my dad wasn't able to get a green card - and the lines were only getting longer over time. I figured I'd be an old man before I could quit some FANG job and build my own thing.

By some miracle, COVID travel restrictions cleared out the lines, and I got my green card literally months before I would have aged out.

If not for this unbelievable coincidence, I would not be hosting the podcast.

In the best case, I would be shifting pixels around in the 3rd sub-sub-menu of some big tech software.

I'm incredibly grateful I made it through.

But it's unconscionable that we put the kids of high skilled immigrants through all this anxiety, and in many cases make them repeat the nerve-racking indentured life trajectory that they had to watch their parents go through.
