    Election 👏 Officials 👏 Should 👏 Be 👏 Non-Partisan 👏 Civil 👏 Servants. “The officials for today’s game between the Patriots and the Giants will be Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Odell Beckham Jr. We expect all the biases to average out.”

    Two things that are true: Trump should be polling lower. His 40% reveals a GOP willing to accept the unacceptable. It's depressing. 40% approval shows Trump's behavior is hurting him. A president acting capably amidst this economy could be brushing 60%. He's not teflon.

    Just talked to a conservative GOP staffer. He thought it was shameful/insane for Trump to engage on PR by lying about the death count, but he also didn’t think it would matter much. “Nothing sticks to him.” The guy is at 40% with a good economy. Everything *has* stuck to him.

    I traveled to Hungary expecting to report on a democracy in crisis. What I found was that democracy that had quietly died, and been replaced with a scary new type of authoritarian state.

    If you have been outraged at any time over the past 6wks about the fact that some parents are still separated from their children, it should be very important to you that 100s more parents are no longer facing the potential of immediate _re_-separation.

    Friendly reminder: 1. Rick Scott was CEO of a company that the feds fined $1.7 billion -- yes, billion with a "b" -- for fraudulent Medicare billing 2. Scott's party, the GOP, has repeatedly tried to cut and privatize Medicare

    US Senate candidate, FL
    If you want to protect Medicare, vote Republican. If you want a socialist experiment with Medicare, by all means vote Democrat.

    It would be so much better to ask the question "How should the Senate work?" than "What can we get away with right now?" or "What should we do to punish them for what they just did for us?" or "How do we get good headlines for ourselves right now?"

    I know this will never happen, but a bipartisan Senate group should hammer out new rules that trigger 6 years from now, so no one knows who'll benefit or lose. The rules we have are a mess with polarized parties, and changing them in the moment always looks like a power grab.

    Really great dive from into what it would mean to strong-arm Apple into assembling iPhones in the USA.

    How much would the iPhone cost if it were made in America?

    I understand being angry at Norm MacDonald for these comments. I don't understand the Tonight Show cancelling their interview with him. An interview in which Fallon pushes against these ideas would've been fascinating and useful.

    "Look, I can’t prove what was in Trump’s head, or what he knew or when he knew it. But I document something like 1,300 transactions of this kind with Russian mobsters."

    Policy criticism isn't always in bad faith — it's often how policy is improved, and part of showing you'd be a good president is showing you see that.

    When men say they "can't" control themselves, what they mean is they don't want to control themselves, but they also don't want to be blamed for the consequences of their actions.

    A lifetime appointment for a Supreme Court Justice who a plurality oppose at the time of his appointment, and who was nominated by a president and confirmed by a political party that were also unpopular, is quite a way for a system to work.

    CNN POLL: 38% of Americans say confirm Kavanaugh; 39% say don't. That's the lowest net approval for a SCOTUS nominee since Harriet Miers (who was also -1); even Robert Bork was +3.

    A point I make on today’s pod: The most “normal” elements of the Trump administration — tax cuts decrease the deficit, climate change is fake, poor people shouldn’t have health insurance — are the most aberrant aspects of the GOP internationally.
