This analysis rests on a $1.6 million mortgage on a $2M home and $60k in childcare and education. While all that is certainly possible in a big city, those are choices. Choices few have.

Says person very versed in real estate prices in SF, NYC.
Anyway this piece rests on the analysis of people who make their money making very privileged people feel bad they don’t have as much as those with even more. Which also seems to be CNBC’s brand.
Also if folks can put down a $400K down payment I’m guessing they have some other assets to draw upon

1/ Today we launch the definitive, enraging, timeline of nine months of Trump's COVID denial. I highly suggest you read it, share it, and if you're say a journalist or organizer, use it to help fortify your own arguments. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ Our Trump COVID timeline is also sortable by these tags. motherjones.com/politics/2020/… Image
3/ So, for example, March 8 is tagged for "self-praise" "blaming others" and "golf" Image

1/ Good evening, in no way should @SusanPage be moderating this debate, given that she threw a party for Pence's mentee and head of CMS, Seema Verma motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ Still outraged by this horrible breech of ethics on the part of @SusanPage and the Commission on Presidential Debates.
3/ One thing for journalists to attend parties for government officials. But to THROW them? Maybe if you're life-long pals and its a pre-wedding thing. But just to curry favor under guise of celebrating "girls night"? KEEP IT motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

Fuck them. Do it now or stfu.

Facebook is a garbage company.
This hedge against a likely Biden win (legally at least) is why this company needs to be at the least broken up and subjected to far greater regulation and at best plowed under with a layer of salt on top.
Anybody who continues to work at Facebook is a "good German."

Saddened to hear that @ChicagoReporter is in jeopardy. A pioneer in both racial justice and data reporting, it has illuminated inequity for decades and been an important training ground for journalists, myself included. I hope @CRSchicago will reconsider. #SaveTheChicagoReporter
As a (23-yo) intern at the @ChicagoReporter I surveyed every public health clinic and hospital in Chicago—and visited several—to find out what kind of breastfeeding support/education new moms were given. tl;dr the pharma/formula companies helped create huge disparities.
that dynamic is pretty well understood now. But not back in 1993. Can't remember how I came up with the idea, but my editors were so supportive and I learned so much. A few years later I expanded (and co-located) that reporting into a cover story for @wcp (also in jeopardy, sigh)

Counterpoint, when your opponent is engaging in a circular firing squad, get out of the way.
There is no Biden ad that would do a better job of underlying Trump's treachery to the American people than what is running 24/7 on cable news.

There's no upside to going negative, some possible downside. But telling Americans more about himself/his plans, nothing but upside.
And, plenty of 3rd party actors running their own negative ads.
