Oh man. @60Minutes tripling down on this malpractice.

The people of color/vaccine narrative has been repeatedly disputed, in detail, by Moskowitz (D), who also spoke out forcefully against this CBS report’s framing of the Publix non-scandal, calling it “malarkey”...
CBS could have included his perspective in their reporting, even if he didn’t agree to an on-camera interview until it was too late, or whatever. And can you blame DeSantis for declining an interview request given what they did with the press conference exchange? ...
Also note the slippery, fake refutation of Mayor Kerner (D), who torched their segment as “intentionally false.” He didn’t claim he didn’t speak with them. He alleged they *didn’t include the important truths he told them* because doing so would ‘kneecap their narrative.’ ...
“Our story Sunday night speaks for itself,” @60Minutes concludes. Oh, it sure does.

No retraction, no correction, no apology. They’re standing by this dreadful work, which might constitute actual malice, given Kerner’s accusation, which they haven’t refuted. Disgraceful.

“Big Ten football” chant from @NUFBFamily fans as the ‘Cats finish off Auburn.
.@coachfitz51 chokes up talking about Hank, who’s also emotional after career win 400 as he prepares to retire. Is it dusty in here? 🥲
What a season. Last place in 2019 to Big Ten West champs in 2020. Strong showing in the title game, then a dominant @CitrusBowl win over an SEC team. And zero COVID cases. Kills me that I couldn’t attend any of the games this year. GO ‘CATS! @NUFBFamily

👀 Short thread: My analysis of the GEORGIA Senate runoffs, and why these absolutely crucial races lean red based on current dynamics & history. But they're not gimmes, especially if Republican voters throw in the towel... townhall.com/tipsheet/guybe…
🚨 All hands on deck: With stakes extremely high, frustrated-to-livid Trump supporters can see electing Perdue & Loeffler as their first test of 'resistance' turnabout, and as essential to protecting key pieces of Trump's legacy against dismantling under total Dem control...
Meanwhile, moderates & Trump-skeptical right-leaners can view these contests as an important opportunity to guarantee checks & balances. If Dems pull off upsets, Pelosi/Schumer will drive the agenda in DC. If R's win, there will be more power sharing, driven by Biden/McConnell.

I don’t think I’m interested in seeing another Quinnipiac poll anytime soon🗑. And it seems like the extent to which RCP battleground averages are not embarrassing in certain places, it’s because RCP included polls widely ridiculed by many ‘smart setters.’
Also LOL at ABC/WAPO in WI (Biden +17) and even NYT/Siena (B+11). Many way off in OH, IA (PPP missed by 9 points) and elsewhere. We’ll see how it shakes out, and some are better than others, but some wildly rampant problems remain in the polling industry. Still. Undeniable.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but Quinnipiac face-planted badly in a number of places in 2018 (FL!), yet pundits salivated over their bullshit again this year.

Lowlights: Biden +11 nationally, Biden +5 in FL (drink!), Biden +4 in OH (off by 12!), Trump +1 in IA (off by 7)...

We will not stand for gaslighting and revisionism. Recall:

Bork ‘87
Thomas ‘91
Estrada, et al ‘01-‘05
Nuclear ‘13
Kavanaugh ‘18

These are the relevant, seismic events that brought us to this moment. Every single one represented a consequential Democratic escalation.
And don’t counter with ‘Merrick Garland.’ That withholding of Senate consent aligned w/ the clear historical norm under divided power in a presidential election year. Tonight’s confirmation vote does the same, under united control of the WH & Senate.
Dems’ victimhood narrative is 💯 false. They feel entitled to power. But they lost the relevant elections for three constructive cycles. No rules were violated, the constitution was followed & norms were maintained—including new standards imposed by Dems in previous power grabs.

ACB cloture vote underway. Republicans seated at their desks. Democrats almost completely absent from the chamber.
51 votes in favor. So that’ll do it.
Votes trickling in from Dems but they’ve already hit the magic number for today. Final confirmation tomorrow.
