@nyc_ac72 @JimmyVanBramer @rontkim @bdlimm @CynthiaNixon @ChhayaCDC @MinKwonCenter @FlushingBay @wqclt @tiffany_caban @GreaterFlushing @FlushingWorkers fwiw I think @JimmyVanBramer is a great advocate for his constituents. however on these land issues I disagree with him. elected officials should not tell private citizens how to use land.

what's the difference between a god in the traditional sense and programmers of our simulated reality (should we be living in one).

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

“Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us!
This is the LORD to whom we looked;let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”

@Noahpinion there's not an infinite number of competent bureaucrats. the greater the size of the bureaucracy, the lower the average quality of the individuals within the bureaucracy. to pretend like the two are not connected is delusional.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

The marijuana bill:

Better to tax marijuana like alcohol than keep it illegal, which amounts to an infinite tax.

Better to have some regulation of marijuana than the current maximal regulation: prohibition.

Better to let people buy marijuana than put people in prison for it.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

sanity.

[Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox]

Please don’t do this. There will be plenty of money in those races on both sides...really an obscene amount. Please give your donations to a local food bank or help someone in need.

imagine thinking that the federal gov being in charge of feeding the nation is a good idea.

[Tom Arnold @TomArnold]

Let me explain this to billionaire:

WE are the party of feeding people.

YOU are the party of not feeding people.

WE will use all of our money to flip the Senate so people get all the food all the time.

Thats how WE put Americans above Politics Mark Cuban.

now i'm convinced

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This is a key witness for Trump’s voter fraud case.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

how is this controversial.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

@biancoresearch @EpsilonTheory if his political model forecasts keep beating the market how do you argue that the market is superior to his model.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

@EpsilonTheory their political models have been well calibrated and beat betting markets historically.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

couldn't agree more.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

House Democrats should consider nominating someone other than Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House, especially if Biden wins the presidency. There are talented, young members who’d do a much better job for our institution and the American people in the challenging times ahead.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

@PrisonPlanet What's the average and standard deviation percentage difference historically? IS 96,000 an outlier?

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

@choffstein @FiveThirtyEight i haven't heard this argument before, and I dig it.

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

@EpsilonTheory what do you believe to be wrong with his argument?

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

no downsides (despite what people claim) and very promising research with regards to combatting depression and addiction. there's no logical reason mushrooms should be illegal.

@ericweinstein @MayorJenny Do you think natural gas (ie. energy independence) is on that list, too?

[Garth Gathers @GarthGathers]

the polling error was average in 2016. it looks like it's going to be average, again.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Again, I'd urge people to view tonight as *another* example of some very major systematic polling errors across all kinds of domains rather than "under-performance." Literally everyone was working off the same data. The data was bad.
