Wrote an autopsy of Platner's campaign for @TheArgumentMag. Platner was already a liability for Democrats before the rape allegation, but polling shows that it wasn't because of the tattoo or Reddit. It was the infidelity.
Americans *really* hate cheating

Matt Yglesias and I have been arguing about policy since our days at The Weeds.
We agree on a lot -- which makes the disagreements way more interesting.
Introducing: The Argument, a new podcast where @mattyglesias and I, well, argue about politics, policy, and whatever else we're interested in that week.
Episodes start Thursday, April 9!

Days after @KelseyTuoc excoriated DC government for sitting on their self-driving car study, they've announced they're restarting the study.

Not a coincidence that the people who grew up with the internet are doing *orders of magnitude* worse when it comes to emotional well-being.

Today at @TheArgumentMag we're publishing something very different.
A mother in Georgia wrote to us after her IUD failed. Her email said:
"…if our policies weren’t so illiberal, I very well might have decided to stay pregnant."

The Mississippi success story is regularly misrepresented – dismissed as fluke or fakery, or reduced to “just phonics.”
@KelseyTuoc & I are having none of it.
We tag-teamed to respond to Freddie DeBoer & the other Mississippi doubters, w/ deeper details on the Southern Surge playbook.

Polling is flawed, but it’s genuinely still the best tool we have to learn about society at large. We’ve been wrapped up in an anti-intellectual strain for way too long.

There is a lost dog following Sen. Crapo around in the Dirksen building
Crapo: “I wondered why you guys were were all looking at me”
It is not his dog. It just went into a hearing room 😂

During Obama, McConnell was against confirming a SCOTUS nominee in an Election Year.
During Trump, McConnell rammed thru SCOTUS nominee 2 WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION.
Regardless what D’s do now, if u think given the chance, McConnell won’t bust filibuster, I got a bridge to sell you.
