Breaking news alert saying that Claire Valdez beat “an incumbent” in a NY house primary. (Antonio Reynoso is not “an incumbent.” He was running in NY-7 to replace Nydia Velázquez, who retired.)

Aggregate poll showing Trump at negative 12.9 percent approval (which to my knowledge is the lowest he’s ever polled).
Screenshot from article: Comedians performing at the festival's headliners do not seem particularly concerned about the criticism - or the alleged wrongdoing. "One reporter was killed by the government - unfortunate, but not a fucking hill that I'm gonna die on," Jim Jefferies said on Theo Von's podcast in August, arguing it is for the greater good that "freedom-of-speech machines" such as himself bestow their "edgy" material on the kingdom and its subjects. (Since making the comments, Jefferies has since disappeared from the festival's lineup; his representatives did not respond to inquiries about this.) Distefano, chatting with Halkias, joked that an upside to the kingdom's repression of women is that his fiancee can't come with him. Mark Normand, on the other hand, joked he would bring his wife to show her how good she has it in America: "I want to be like, 'You see? You think I'm an asshole? Well, they'll cut your clit off, bitch?"

Nate Silver tweet from Jan 3, 2022: It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

From Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger: To those of you who don't know what's buried in the bill just passed by the GOP Congress. Prepare yourself: • He can delay or cancel elections! • He can ignore SCOTUS rulings for a year or more. • He can fire government workers for political disloyalty. • Judges can't enforce orders. • Protests can be tracked and criminalized. • Your VPN? Tracked. • Your vote? Suppressed. • Your speech? Flagged. This bill doesn't break the law. It rewrites it.
