Lot of good stuff in today's Catalist report, but I wanted to highlight this chart in particular, which makes a general point about how campaigns see the electorate. This is pre-election modeled vote choice vs. modeled likelihood of voting in an election. 🧵 catalist.us/whathappened...

The NCI just shut down PDQ Updates for Health Professionals. One of the most trusted, evidence-based oncology resources—gone. Due to HHS restructuring and staff cuts. It’s not a joke. It’s a policy failure. #Oncology #NIH #NCI #EvidenceBasedMedicine #HealthPolicy #PDQ
