How bad is the YouTube media environment for Vivek Ramaswamy in the OH Gov race? Try -88 points on net sentiment (pulled from our ClarifyAI tool) There's a negative organic media environment, there's getting absolutely roasted, & then there's whatever is happening in the Ohio

Looks like it's not just people taking easy shots at Ramaswamy in online content, but people really don't like what's going on in OH. @Axios says Republican polling showed 86% of respondents were aware of the ad and by a 2-to-1 margin it made them more likely to vote for Acton.

Not an active acct, but I have nowhere else to publicly post it, so I'll just leave this Don Jr & Bettina meme here. Getting a shady Russian oligarch to pay for your wedding bash "for a few friends" on a private island 🤨 is some obscenely blatant corruption, even for the Trumps

Trump says he "doesn't like" Iran's latest response to peace negotiations. Unfortunately for Pres Trump, it's clear the rest of the world overwhelmingly "doesn't like" his war with Iran 🌎 See our report analyzing YT video narratives around the Iran War linkedin.com/posts/ed-niles-…

“Public health works best when it helps people find safer ways to get what they need and want,” says epidemiologist Julia Marcus of the importance of promoting harm reduction, rather than harm elimination, during the pandemic (via @TheAtlantic) theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

"If you're asking me should a lawmaker know whether their resolution [to end the mask mandate] takes $49 million of benefits away from a quarter million Wisconsinites? Yes, they should know that. And if they don't, they shouldn't be in public office."
The $49 million Wisconsin could lose in food benefits is a monthly figure. That number will change with enrollment levels, but each month Wisconsin residents would lose tens of millions of dollars in benefits if the Assembly carries through w/ its plan. bit.ly/3abZ0Da

Man @politico has had some wickedly bad takes recently. I think it's OK to let the press have a little joy and admiration for the new President on inauguration day, especially when the last one was egging on his supporters who were literally threatening to kill them.

and by very exiting time, I mean it's ridiculously exciting to just have competent people doing the actual business of governing again.

(somewhat surprisingly) agree w/ the squad this morning: "not necessarily opposed to reforms ... we firmly believe that the national security and surveillance powers of the U.S. Gov are already too broad, undefined, and unaccountable to the people."
I’m leading the call for national security powers to not be expanded in light of the attack on our nation’s Capitol that occurred two weeks ago, as such measures often lead to the erosion of Americans’ civil liberties.

I am a bit surprised they couldn't get even more moderate Dems and Libertarian-Republicans to co-sign this letter, though. Wondering if they got turned down or didn't even bother to do the outreach.

Here's the full poem from Amanda Gorman, who is the youngest poet to ever read at an inauguration. "Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished."
