Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions. It's easy - here is how: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

Has anyone done a first look at the two party vote totals for President in the 2024 @electionstudies.bsky.social ? No matter what I do with the weights, or try different samples (web only, in person, pooled), I'm getting Harris percentage at 55%. Anything I'm missing?
