There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

And this assumes there’s not more to come!! I know which side of that bet I’m taking

I thought this was obvious but perhaps not. There will not be ads run with Susan Collins name on them or some identifiable GOP PAC. A dark money group named Puppy and Apple Pie Loving Maine Voters Against Nazism will spend $40 million carpet bombing the state with ads of the guy with the Nazi tattoo

Thank you!

Someone let them use your washer and dryer

The outfield wall has the meters printed on it, just below the 330 feet designation. Never noticed that in any photos or videos of Busch II before

He‘s a history buff who ranked his favorite wars! He certainly had the subject matter expertise

But more importantly there is reporting from today that shows he was was aware many years ago and his friends were openly discussing it getting out

Susan Collins: Bill Kristol has learned his lesson

Feature not a bug…
