What JD Vance was really saying about the ACA And why you should take that talk seriously huffpost.com/entry/trump-va…

Very true. But not of many of them in the Rustbelt; one reason Dems run much better w/non college Whites in MI/PA/WI than they do in NC/GA

JD Vance staff “asked point-blank, ‘Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?’” City Manager Bryan Heck told the WSJ. “I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.” npr.org/2024/09/18/g-s…

Asked about the potential effects of a program of mass deportation, Secretary Janet Yellen tells Ronald Brownstein that although there’s work to be done to establish an orderly immigration system, “it would be devastating to simply remove this number of immigrants.” #TAF24

Its the most consistent pattern in battleground state polling: almost always, Harris is at or above the Biden 2020 winning # w/Whites, but the poll shows Trump close or ahead b/c it has her lagging w/Black & Latino voters. Is that real? And can Trump sustain it if so?

Thanks for being with us Secretary Janet Yellen

The problem, Republicans, is that Mark Robinson *was* vetted. There was ample evidence of his antisemitic & racist past comments. The problem is the NCGOP & Trump World chose to ignore what the vetting showed & back him anyway. It’s Herschel Walker/ Roy Moore all over again.

At #TAF24 I spoke w/Secretary Janet Yellen today about China, Japan, the Fed, a "soft landing," protecting clean energy industries, mass deportation and across-the-board tariffs. She had some opinions. More here. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

It’s important to note that Haitians were invited to come to Springfield. In 2014, the city began its “Welcome Springfield” initiative to attract newcomers to replenish its dwindling population. trib.al/pBLnmVB

Michael Mann is, oh, pretty good at this sort of thing.

“It was a Reagan-era update of hard-boiled crime fiction, about fallen characters who were cynical about life (Crockett smoked like a Bogart hero) but also looking for innocents to defend (and often watching in horror as they died anyway)” In pink and mauve

With a strong finish, Shohei could not only do 50-50 HR/SB but conceivably 125+ runs scored and 120 RBI and 95 or more XBH. Crazy numbers. A #unicorn even when he’s not pitching.

Noah Camras I don’t think any other player had a better game then this This may be the best performance in the history of baseball

The dozens of bomb threats in the small Ohio city since President Trump and others pushed false claims about Haitian migrants has children living in fear, parents say. “They’re scared to go to school," one parent says. "We just wish it would stop.” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/s…

Unless Dodgers rest him, 55/55 with 130 runs scored and possibly 130 RBI and maybe 100 XBH are all at least within range of possibility. Who’s the last player to do all that? Oh yeah: no one. And I wouldn’t bet against him getting a few big outs if they get to the WS.

Megyn Kelly had a $67 million buy-out from NBC. Prior to that, she made $20 million per year at Fox News.
