@stuartpstevens Polling is just impossibly unreliable this time, except to hint at trends. All sorts of reasons: decrease in home phones, uncertainties about youth voting turnout, female voter turnout (may not follow past patterns), impact of hurricanes on turnout in the soitheast, etc

@farhip @washingtonpost Congrats Paul. Sorry to see you go, but make it a good move

Hey Brett Kavanaugh.

Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?

Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?

During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”

But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇

You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.

So that makes you a legacy student a liar.

So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.

That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.

In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.

Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.

AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”

But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.

So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?

@AskAmex Can you ask someone at Amex Offers to please fix the program. My wife and I spend most of the year in Washington DC, but summers in Cape Cod. Though we are in Cape Cod, we keep getting local offers for DC. We'd also like to check european offers

@katie_robertson @jimrutenberg I'm still not clear. Is Fox paying the $787.5 million PLUS attorneys fees or does the $787.5 million INCLUDE attorneys fees?

@stuartenyt So you are a neigh sayer?

How could CNN have Jake Tapper interview Netanyu rather that Wolf Blitzer? Blitzer has known Netanyu for years. It's embarrassing to Blitzer and CNN to treat one of your stars like that.

So I'm still trying to understand something about the Supreme Court Harper argument. Question: If one of the lawyers had brought up Ginny Thomas's emails in his arguments, would Justice Thomas have had to recuse? @steve_vladeck @gtconway3d @tribelaw

@rxvoice John, my emails to you are bouncing back. Did you change emails or phone numbers?

Is this right?!? Appointment of special counsel Jack Smith means that if GOP were to win in 2024, short of pardons, any Trump prosecution would continue out of Justice Dept hands ala Durham? @neal_katyal @harrylitman @gtconway3d

[Ira Teinowitz @iteinowitz]

@PrestonCNN I agree with your analysis last night that Dems could have a pretty tough task keeping the Senate in 2024 elections, but question whether any Republican will face Sinema. If she runs at all, she's not likely to win a primary.

I'd say the real problem is that cord cutters want to see news without having cable subscriptions and companies so tied to cable can't do that without risking their existing models
