@WilliamsonNFL @BDPeacock Do you think the Commanders should take best player available at pick 29, or try to pick the best player to fill a glaring need? Seems like they've got a few.

@edgarrmcgregor Hey Edgar, my brother's house is at 2823 Santa Anita Ave—do you know if it's so far survived?

@957thegame You forgot to post E: All of the above.

@mattbarrows Matt, knowing how dialed in you are, I'm curious if you have any read on the locker room impact—if any impact at all—on Bosa live-TV-bombing a post-game interview while wearing a MAGA hat right before the election? I know the entire roster will get some nice tax cuts, but…

@grantcohn I know how to take chances, but not make them, though that might be a failure of imagination on my part.

[David Schmalz @davidmschmalz]

@WilliamsonNFL @BDPeacock Where is Kirk Cousins going to be playing next year? NYG? Relatedly, seems odd how little we've heard Penix Jr.'s name in the national discourse, as other rookie qbs make a splash.

The study might be new, but this has been clear my entire adult life

[Gene Bryant @GeneBryant2]

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

We know who won and who lost; and it’s legitimate to ask questions about what failed. But it seems far more important to take a longer and deeper look at what “succeeded.”

As Susan Glasser reminded us, the campaign embraced by a solid majority of American voters “was the most vicious campaign of lies, misogyny, racism, and xenophobia ever waged.”

This is what “worked.” This is what “won.”

That seems like a bigger story than what failed.

Estimated restoration has been set at 11:15pm

[David Schmalz @davidmschmalz]

Power for many Monterey residents went out around 640pm tonight, over 5,000 customers, no estimated restoration time. Bummer timing on election night.

@DaytonPubPolicy @CityofMonterey Welp, seeing it now

[David Schmalz @davidmschmalz]

@DaytonPubPolicy @CityofMonterey PGE outage map not showing it. Is it still out?

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Even if Trump loses, he will have proved that the most vicious campaign of lies, misogyny, racism, and xenophobia ever waged was not enough to stop nearly half the country from supporting him.

[Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads/Insta)🌻 @AWeissmann_]

Let's please remember that the Republican presidential nominee is set to be SENTENCED for 34 felonies on November 26.
That he is a major party nominee is not normal. The rule of law matters.
Vote accordingly.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Trump is closing in a way that makes it impossible to normalize or rationalize the virulent, racialized Us versus Them hate that has been his animating political purpose for over a decade.

[David Schmalz @davidmschmalz]

@LuanaConley Did it ever occur to you to ask yourself why Taibbi isn't calling out Musk for censoring this site, since he seemed so obsessed with it when it was regarding reports about Hunter Biden's laptop, the most nothingburger of nothingburgers? Or why Greenwald never calls out the GOP?

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

The blue bars are articles mentioning Hillary Clinton's email server in the week after the Oct. 2016 Comey letter.

The red bars are articles mentioning Trump's Jan. 6 indictment the week after Jack Smith's latest filing was unsealed earlier this month.

@michaelluo @sbg1 Been time for some time

[David Schmalz @davidmschmalz]

@DaytonPubPolicy For every economist that says one thing, another will say the opposite. There were inflationary concerns, yes, but those were outweighed by concern of entering a recession, etc. A lose-lose situation, arguably, but the US has still recovered better than other Western countries
