ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

Everybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

Yeah. This is the other point that's so important. We need decentralized systems across the board to protect democracy. We need people to have the power to control their online experiences, rather than oligarchs.

Watching Trump say "one way or another" the US is going to get Greenland - a rather clear threat of annexation by force against an ally - is nauseating. To hear Congress laugh and applaud such a statement means they have debased themselves and the United States of America.

Tomorrow, Donald Trump is going to talk about how America is Great Again, thanks to him. The truth? Food and other costs are up. Corruption is way up. And he’s making Russia great again, while making America look small and weak. An awful start to an administration.
