Editorial Board @dissentmag. Think I started trend of labeling modern US Right as “revanchist.” Charming in person, but we’re not there. Also NBA/Warriors.

New @CookPolitical: with more than 116 million votes counted, Dems' lead in the national House vote is up to 13.5 points. It's now the largest margin for either party since 1974. https://t.co/wFFnXPy9pN

@baseballcrank If Texas becomes competitive, a popular vote election **helps Republicans.**

[Richard Yeselson @yeselson]

@baseballcrank Why does new states enrage you? It’s entirely constitutional—it’s how we go to 50– and it has been done for purely partisan purposes before. In Puerti Rico, Republicans are completely competitive.

One thing to think, “We might lose out here, we’ll see.” But it’s not dirty pool.

NEW: Next possible shake-up inside White House

Trump is considering firing his White House Cabinet Secretary Meghan Bauer according to two White House officials and a former White House official.

One of the current officials said Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Bauer over the past few months and Trump has held discussions with senior level staffers this week about her removal.

The high-ranking role heads the Office of Cabinet Affairs, serves as a liaison between the president and the cabinet secretaries and works closely alongside the president and chief of staff.

@Taniel Daniel, is this election commissioners (perhaps reluctantly) in good faith following draconian law, ie, administratively neutral, but terrible policy?

Or could Rs have put their thumb on the scale?

@bontahillstan Depends on injuries ( including his own). Ant maybe not getting to 65 helps him. SGA and Jokic still there tho.

I'm in the new issue of @commonwealmag with an essay adapting the lecture I gave at @stjohnscollege last year on Alasdair MacIntyre, Dorothy Day, Wendell Berry, 90s lo-fi music, and working with obsolete technology.

@madeleineebaker @commonwealmag @stjohnscollege Madeline, you should do a “very short introduction” to MacIntyre.
