@parlaytom @rickhasen @NBCNews This particular case would seem to be best pursued and stopped quickly at a state or local level. Illegal lotteries and games of chance are especially regulated locally.

[Scott Hanley @sehanley]

@rickhasen State AG's can move quickly - and states routinely deal with "lotteries"

[Scott Hanley @sehanley]

@rickhasen Yeah, that seems like an illegal lottery even without the election law specifics. State level law issues.

@legitbrittFLA @tbonier The problem is, it is not a binary measure. Independents outnumber each party's registration and have grown notably. Arizona has open primaries, so registration is not as important. So, Nate is finding simplicity where it is actually complex.

@joshtpm The lisp / dental diction impairment combined with the rambling is a new twist

@devinbartolotta Great story. Reminds me of my days discovering how human most of our news subjects are - and how human all reporters and anchors are. Glad you got out safely and filed!

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Fascinating. Have been noting all week that Tom Crooks seems to fit the profile more of school shooter/mass shooter than assassin. Now CNN reports FBI warming to theory that Crooks was planning to do mass shooting & Trump rally just seemed to best venue. https://t.co/fiD98K2dAO

@NormOrnstein He's also repeatedly called Biden "Obama."

@jonlovett Jon, where are the numbers? Not the polls, not the pundits, not the anecdotal bits? What are the numbers for your proposed path to move forward? Or do you even have a proposed path and how would you get the numbers to make that path successful?

[Scott Hanley @sehanley]

@atrupar Are they really that stupid, or do they really think we are?

@drvolts If Biden stepped aside as president tomorrow, the next in line of succession for Harris is the Speaker of the House. The 25th Amend. says the House AND senate have to approve the VP nominee. How well will that go?

[Scott Hanley @sehanley]

@joshtpm Great analysis, Josh. The obvious other issue is that, given their druthers, I would bet that the presumed "wise people" who want to hand pick the next nominee would have never chosen Biden to begin with.

Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post for $250 million in 2013. Jeff Bezos purchased the Superyacht Keros in 2023 for $500 million. Only one of those two purchases appears have any pressure to not lose money.

@JamesFallows @newsjohnson Except back then we had a movement for "Civic Journalism" led by academics and practitioners.

@HawaiiDelilah What a jarring thought.
