  • Trump’s campaign apparatus trails Biden’s team significantly in fundraising, but those around Trump are confident that the gap will be closed. The former president, these people say, has been privately working the party’s biggest donors in a way they haven’t seen before.

    “The money will be there,” one person told CNN. “He’s never been more focused or effective on that front than he is right now.”

    Just posting this for posterity. I have a feeling it will be read with a thoroughly different meaning a year from now.









  • Nobody really reads resumes anymore. And I know this because mine has had “secretly banksy” on it, right between advanced Excel and intermediate SQL, for the last 7 years.

    Not a single person has mentioned it, which is doubly strange because I definitely have been asked, “When you say advanced Excel; advanced in what way?” - which, I’ll grant you, is the obvious question anytime someone puts that on their resume.











  • I enjoyed this for what it is: therapeutic fan fiction.

    Moving on, we should not underestimate:

    • How absolutely craven most republican lawmakers are

    • How well, for better or worse, Trump communicates to boomers who we already know are active at the ballot box

    • how deeply bought in the Christian right/Christian nationalists are

    Campaign math doesn’t work like it did. Just because Trump is dismantling seemingly durable elements of the GOP establishment, that doesn’t mean he’s dismantling his capability to win.

    Vote like it’s the last election ever. I’ll leave the rest unsaid.
