  • Sorry, this was specifically about gubernatorial elections - unless you have some sort of weird state electoral college thing (which IIRC only exists in Mississippi and even there only sort-of), those are generally done with a statewide popular vote, and thus independent of district maps.

  • My hope is that because this is such an obvious, stupid lie, it'll inspire kids to question all of the other stuff in their history books too; even blue-state schools teach ridiculous lies about American history, my kids got all sorts of upbeat hokum about Columbus I had to correct them on.

  • Yeah, I don't doubt Murphy's heart is in the right place - he's been a big advocate of mental health legislation since his House days, and he was the congressman for Newtown when Sandy Hook happened - but I'm skeptical that the sorts of techniques we use to combat smoking or obesity would work on loneliness; it's more of a symptom of a larger problem than a problem in its own right.

  • Along with everything else wrong with this: your icon is literally your brand, and you want your branding to be flawless + everywhere.

    This would be like Nike putting an ugly pixelated version of their logo on cheaper sneakers to encourage you to buy more expensive ones; whatever pocket change they made from upgraders would be dwarfed by the damage it would do to their trademark.

  • Seth Abramson was a writing teacher with an expired Vermont law license and no federal experience who somehow tweeted his way into having everybody take his 7,000-word opinions seriously even after several of them proved to be spectacularly wrong. (perhaps the most impressive of all of the anti-Trump grifters)

  • And this one's probably not going to be in front of a Trump-appointed judge in a Republican-controlled circuit in a county full of Trump-voting prospective jurors who also suffer from whatever brain parasite makes someone choose to live in Florida.

    (he may well "randomly" be assigned to one of his DC district appointees, but none of them are anywhere near as bad as Cannon, and the DC Circuit is far, far less Trump-friendly than the 11th)
