What's a graceful way to beg people to vote for your podcast in the Webby awards? Asking for a friend, who is me. vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/…
You know what's easier than asking people to vote for your podcast? Asking them to vote for other podcasts you love!

Like @today_explained, which is deservedly up for best News & Politics: vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/…
And Switched on Pop and Nice Try, which are making the Arts & Culture category hard for me: vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/…

And Pivot, in Business! vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/…

One question I've gotten on this is should Democrats be willing to say they won't pass a stimulus bill that doesn't tie unemployment insurance, and maybe SNAP, to actual economic conditions?

Yes. Absolutely. Some things are worth fighting for. vox.com/2020/5/28/2127…
These policies are popular, They are good economics. And if Democrats don't pass them, they're setting up a political and economic disaster in 2021.
Without them, Biden’s presidency will just be endless, brutal fights to reauthorize economic support, against a Republican Party ideologically and strategically opposed to further stimulus.

We've seen this movie before.

Thrilled that the EK Show won the both the Webby and the People’s Voice for best interview podcast!

I want to use the moment to thank @Jeff_Geld and Roge Karma for the amazing work they do. I'm very, very lucky to work with them. winners.webbyawards.com/#/winners/podc…
Jeff produces, engineers, and edits the show, and he’s been doing so under…less-than-ideal circumstances. But it always sounds and flows great. And he brings a calm, patient, and supportive vibe that lets everyone — from guests to staff to me — do their best work.
Roge is our researcher, but that doesn’t begin to cover it. He synthesizes vast quantities of material with a speed I still don’t believe, and is my partner in thinking through what the conversations should be. And he brings a rare and necessary optimism about people and ideas.

If you'd written a satire of the Trump administration where they launched a campaign called "Truth Over Facts" it would've been dismissed as heavyhanded and unfair.
To note the apparent response: "Truth over facts" is a Biden gaffe from a few months back. Hence the attack.

To make my point clear: It's amazingly audacious for the Trump campaign to try and weaponize it.

"Truth over facts" is just "take him seriously, not literally."
The entire Trump justification is he doesn't worry about facts, but he expresses some kind of guttural or emotional truth even so, while all these persnickety factual reporters are lying in a deeper, more directional way.
