    "Choosing to rape isn’t normal. Assault is not an inherent quality of being a man. It is vital that we identify this behavior and never de-stigmatize it, never accept those who want us to believe it’s the status quo."

    America First, except for the parts of America we don't like.

    Sources told that Stephen Miller said the proposed policy had a bonus: It would hurt elite universities where staff and faculty had been critical of Trump.

    Does anyone actually think that reporters who don't work on the op-ed page don't have opinions of their own? I don't believe in "objective" journalism, but if you do believe in it, the theory isn't that reporters only develop views once they get a bylined column.

    Reporter: "What do you say to young men in America?" Trump: "I'd say that it's a very scary time." ... Reporter: Do you have "a message for young women"? Trump: "Women are doing great."

    State of the key votes on Kavanaugh.

    Murkowski appears in no hurry even as McConnell pledges to move forward with Kavanaugh vote this week. 'He talked about a vote last week, too,' she told AP. Collins, riding with Murkowski on the Senate subway, smiled and told Murkowski, 'Good answer.'

    Everything makes more sense if you take that second conversation seriously. If lots of Republicans don't seem that interested in investigating what happened, it's because what really happened isn't important to them, they don't think it should change what happens now.

    There are two Kavanaugh conversations. One is about whether he did what Ford alleges he did. The other is about whether, even if he did it, it should keep him off the Court — in polls, a majority of Republicans say it shouldn't.

    The issue at hand isn't his drinking. It's his memory and/or his honesty, which is inextricably connected to his drinking, and whether he's telling the truth about it. I don't know if people are pretending not to get this or they don't get it, but it's not hard.

    Ford's line on Kavanaugh is he drunkenly assaulted her. The GOP line on Ford is an assault happened, but her memory must be faulty, because Kavanaugh says he didn't do it. The GOP line on Kavanaugh is his memory is perfect, and his drinking is irrelevant. See the problem?

    A reminder: Voter turnout among the young is abysmal in midterm elections. In 2014, only 1 in 6 citizens between the ages of 18 and 29 voted. Yes, voter suppression plays a role. But voter apathy plays a vastly bigger role.

    Probably the biggest cloud still hovering over Democratic hopes for '18 are the continued signs of low engagement among young people who poll strongly anti-Trump.

    This is a good example of ideology functioning as an identity rather than a set of policy positions.

    I just heard NPR refer to Jeff Flake as a moderate. His ACU rating is 97%. Bananas.

    Speaking of which: is there an answer to the question of why Google doesn't make Google Docs suck less? They have enough money to build a modern UI for word processing. They just...haven't. Why?

    This article is an amazing case for licensing Vox Media's Chorus CMS, which is actually nice to write in. (True story: I write non-Vox content in our CMS because the interface is so much nicer than Docs. Then I copy and paste.)

    Second, the presumption is a counterweight to the overwhelming power of the state in a criminal trial. But Kavanaugh has the full weight of the executive and of congressional leadership *on his side* with them controlling the pace and scope of investigation.

    I’m seeing a lot of tweets referring to my conversation with . It was one of the best discussions about my book to date, and I’m glad we did another take after the first conversation didn’t record.
