a reasonable point, but what percentage of reporting on polls comes with a giant "this could easily be off by 13 points" attached? no one is using polls this way and the media ecosystem around it certainly is not set up to do so. so it doesn't seem like a good situation for anyone.

What is truly "shocking" about the polling miss in Michigan is that it is completely average for a primary "The expected error on the margin between two primary candidates in a race for governor or U.S. Senate is a whopping 13.0 points." blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/2026-texas...

if the abundance people were actually serious about clean energy, they would be relentlessly advocating for maximum cooperation with the Chinese solar industry

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

this is not normally my thing but we really needed some kind of national memorialization of COVID. instead the "let's just get back to normal" push made it so an unprocessed mass death event led to everyone going insane and developing a fictional version of what happened

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

I was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

I believe this 100%. The moral injury of the period, the grief from not just the too and so many deaths but the kinds of lives we had before, the laying bare of disposability, the non covid deaths it sped, the institutional strain, the collective fear and distrust, the prioritization of work anyway

worth noting that the right-wing conspiracy theorist -- anti-renewable NIMBY nexus is extremely common. Protect Our Coast Long Island, an anti-offshore wind group, started as a bunch of QAnon believers protesting mask & vaccine requirements during COVID. Pivoted immediately after reqs lifted.

It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning

Democratic National Committee is horribly struggling. Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. While DNC is $2 million in debt. Bad management of DNC but also another sign that the energy in the Dem base is for change--not the establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...

Here's Joe Manchin bragging about how he killed the Democratic agenda in 2022. Meanwhile the Squad, including DSA Congressmembers, fought the hardest *for* it. Yet the press will never acknowledge this basic reality because it doesn't fit their "sensible center vs loony left" narrative.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Reminder, the Bullwork is a RIGHT WING org. Just because the faces have been showing up on left wing and centralist podcasts to be anti trump, doesn't change the fact they are right wing and do not want to see leftist policies succeed. They are 'if the democrats could come to the right more' guys.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w ago

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
