    What would the Electoral College score be if the 2020 Census reapportionment were in place? Per this projection, +4 for Trump states, or Biden 302-236 rather than 306-232. A modest change, but means the 269-269 and 270-268 maps could instead reflect GOP wins in '24.

    An excellent editorial. If all foreign policy agenda items are first fed through the climate lens — a portfolio led by John Kerry of all people — we’ve potentially got a recipe for disaster. 1/4

    'Sending Mr. Kerry to negotiate with Chinese President Xi Jinping on climate is a recipe for returning home dressed in a barrel.' via

    EDITORIAL Joe Biden’s initial choices for national security posts are largely reassuring, but John Kerry as climate czar is catnip for China. via

    Loyalty is not infallible. But Antony Blinken is someone Biden has known for decades. By his own account, Trump knew Rex Tillerson for an hour.

    Is Wall Street Turning Blue? (2020) "We demonstrate that since the early 1990’s, it is becoming increasingly common for firms to be run by CEOs who are aligned with the Democratic Party..." "...the trend appears to be quite pervasive, as nearly 75% of industries turned bluer."

    Though the ~24% probability reflects the chance of Democrats winning *both* races, while the remainder reflects GOP winning either one or two.

    With those odds, smart betting $$ is on the Dems. Hard to argue at this point the runoffs are any better than pure toss-ups.

    Part of the reason Biden is hiring people with ties to tech but not ties to Wall Street is simple: If you left Biden’s VP office around ~2012, working for Wall Street was politically poisonous, but working for Facebook/Google/Apple was not.

    I think folks are stretching to tie Biden's new legislative affairs director, Louisa Terrell, to Facebook. She worked there for two years ... seven years ago. Lots of people who have worked for Biden have also worked for tech companies. Doesn't neccessarily mean something.

    Reading between the lines, you can see multiple rationales for supporting Trump's election stealing accusations even while knowing the are bananas. I suspect most supporters either switch between rationales or hold several of them simultaneously. Some are:
