Trump’s obsession with bilateral trade balances means we’re simultaneously retreating from the benefits of global supply chains but also surrendering efforts to maintain technological leads over our main geopolitical rival.

Clay Higgins, the only Republican to speak up in support of Mace's amendment to cut Ukraine aid, calls out Adam Smith for saying Republicans voted to increase the debt through reconciliation. "He knows that's not true." Smith starts laughing uncontrollably when he hears that.

Imploring people to only tweet confidently about things you understand. Second, as matter of good staffing if you want to own this stat on the way up be prepared to own it on the way down. So be careful latching onto any one data point.

Reality check: Dems are way behind their 2006 & 2018 pace on the generic ballot at this point in the cycle. Ahead by only 2 pt vs. 7 pt in 2006/2018 cycles. Seat-by-seat analysis actually reveals more GOP pickup opportunities than Dems! Very much unlike 2006 & 2018 at this pt.
