Look, when I hate on Nate Silver, it’s because he’s expressing his own personal political opinions, which are usually terrible.
In his wheelhouse of “acknowledging obvious conclusions from data two weeks before an election even if it bucks a narrative”, he remains very good.
Listened to Nate Silver on Ezra this morning. One of the least popular things I could do on this website is defend Nate Silver, so challenge accepted.
His "vibes" have been directionally correct in every Election. In 2012, he fought against the polling unskewers making claims that Romney would win based on undersampling of Republicans.
In 2016, his model was famously FAR more bullish on Trump than any others. He was the only modeler who understood the possibility of correlated polling error.
In 2020, he repeatedly emphasized the higher than usual uncertainty due to the pandemic.
In 2022, he fought back against pollsters (NY Times!) basically ignoring their own data to buy into the Red Wave.
In 2024, he said that even though his model was 50/50, his gut said Trump would win.
All in all, a better record than anyone else on Election Twitter.

We’re about to find out if a big ground game can beat big money.
7 days. ⏰
.@RepSchofield has not faced a serious challenge since he retook the R-60% #HD132 in 2020, but increased Democratic voter turnout in Harris County has bolstered challenger @SaraForTexLege. #txlege thetexan.news/elections/2026…

Big Republican endorsement pickup for Talarico. Seliger is the former Texas senate pro Tem who left office in 2023. He represented TX Senate District 31 (large parts of the TX Panhandle/west Texas) and is the former mayor of Amarillo

It was actually our 250th anniversary.
Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip.

Now THIS is the Nick Wright i grew to respect. I hope he maintains this trajectory.
Angel Reese and the ATL Dream not being covered is a choice by the media.
Shout out to @getnickwright! He just gave Angel Reese a fantastic spotlight on @FTFonFS1 in a segment calling out the media. It’s my fave sports show because it’s very funny, so I was delighted to see this pop up today! #WNBAFinals

Today I turn 88…I’ve seen some serious shit. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains.

Pleased to welcome my longtime friend and former legislative colleague, @jamestalarico, to Houston. I look forward to collaborating with him as U.S. Senator, as we did in the Texas Legislature.

Chris Christie should run for president again. Not because he'd be a good president, or even because he'd have a chance at winning. I just want to see him direct this energy at JD Vance.

THIS is my hometown of Tyler, Texas. We are going to WIN! Vote early to make sure

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway.
To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back.
Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

“Atop the Mountain for the very first time, because he has earned it and he deserves this moment… Brock Purdy, take your spot, at least for the week.”
@getnickwright stunned EVERYONE with Mahomes Mountain going into Week 7 🏔️👀

This is one heck of an absolutely disgusting ad. Just an incredibly scummy thing to do.
If I was considering voting for Vivek, this would instantly end that for me.
Using her (alleged) pedophile protecting mother to hit her? Beyond gross. He is such scum.

Voting for myself yesterday was an unreal feeling, but this is bigger than me. It’s about representing our people. If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan, bring a friend or family member, and get out there and vote!

CONGRATULATIONS, HARRIS COUNTY! #HarrisVotes
