Je sais bien que le "self-promotion" est un peu gauche, mais c'est Twitter alors je ne me gêne pas pour passer le mot...
Also wanted to give a shout out to Prof. Antoine Yoshinaka's work on party-switching, which I cite in the article. Check out "Crossing The Aisle," it's an excellent book. @ProfPolitiqueUS
Excellente décision de la part de Trump. L'exécution en direct de Hasan était une idée lunaire qui aurait fait de lui un martyr dont la mort par peloton d'exécution aurait été employée comme instrument de propagande.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.
Watch the whole thing:
On n'en parle pas trop dans les médias francos, mais dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi le Sénat a entériné une résolution budgétaire qui financerait le gouvernement jusqu'au 11 décembre et éviterait un shutdown le 1er octobre. La Chambre devra l'adopter à son retour des vacances.
Un titre un tant soit peu trompeur car il ne s'agit pour le moment que d'un vote d'une commission sénatoriale.

Ouf, les grandes conclusions sur la politique 🇺🇸 et les partis politiques sur la base d'une marge de ~15000 voix (~1 point de %) dans une élection primaire 🙄...

South Dakota Democrat exits Senate race, clears way for independent dlvr.it/TTsFTD
En raison de toute l'attention accordée aux démocrates et de la campagne républicaine sans opposition au Michigan, on ne mentionne pas assez que Mike Rogers est un excellent candidat républicain qui est passé à un cheveu de battre Slotkin en 2024.
Ça me fait toujours un peu grimacer lorsqu'on accole l'étiquette de "modérée" à Haley Stevens. Elle se situte +/- au centre du parti démocrate, ce qui fait d'elle une "libérale" (au sense US du terme). Ce n'est pas une "modérée" à la Sinema ou Manchin.
Au-delà de la primaire sénatoriale démocrate du Michigan, je surveille ces 3 primaires au Congrès :
MI-7 (Brink / Lawrence / Maasdam)
MI-13 (Thanedar / McKinney)
MO-1 (Bell / Bush)
Finalement, je surveille le taux de participation au Michigan.

BASH: How do you prepare for the next pandemic? That's part of your job now
RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong
BASH: But what about now?
RFK Jr: We need to protect our constitutional rights
BASH: What does that mean?
RFK Jr: During covid we completely dismantled our rights
BASH: But I'm asking what *to* do during a public health crisis
RFK Jr: You were part of the problem
BASH: You want to sit here and attack me?
Je vous suggère fortement de lire cet article dans le @sfstandard sur Cheyenne Hunt, une progressiste qui milite depuis plusieurs années pour se débarasser d'abuseurs (ou pire!) du monde politique. Elle a joué un rôle important dans les cas de Swalwell et Platner.
The 29-year-old California activist and content creator used social media to amplify allegations against Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner. She started an advocacy group to keep up the momentum.

Finalement une campagne "stop the steal" de Trump qui semble avoir fonctionné...
FULL timeline of the campaign to bring Balogun back, according to a half dozen U.S. government & soccer officials:
- Wednesday after U.S.-Bosnia match: Andrew Giuliani alerted Trump to the red card (Trump & Giuliani had been talking multiple times/week since start of World Cup and regularly before that.)
- Wed night: Giuliani, Lutnick and U.S. Soccer officials began activating on plans to challenge red card
- That kicked off 4 days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering & diplomacy that stretched from Oval Office to Zurich
- On *Thursday* Trump dialed Gianni Infantino and asked abt FIFA’s rules around the red card decision and grounds for suspension. (They’ve known each other for 8 yrs.)
- FIFA declined to confirm any specific discussions but reiterated to POLITICO that the decision to suspend the one-match ban was made by an independent disciplinary committee.
- As U.S. Soccer’s legal team formally prepared & submitted its appeal to FIFA, Giuliani + Lutnick offered to make White House attorneys available to assist
- At the same time, Giuliani and Scott Goodwin — a hedge-fund manager who had helped pay the salary of Mauricio Pochettino — zeroed in on the officiating history of referee Raphael Claus
-Articles examining previous controversies involving Claus circulated among senior gov officials as they evaluated every argument that could bolster the appeal
- On FIFA side, Emilio García, who oversees the legal affairs of FIFA, advised Infantino on the available procedural options
- García + other FIFA officials worked to determine whether the circumstances of Balogun’s tackle met the narrow standards that would allow the disciplinary decision to be revisited
- By Sunday, FIFA announced that Balogun’s one-match suspension would be suspended
- FIFA insists that the decision was an independent one made by its 18-person disciplinary committee, but it would not say whether the decision was decided through a vote, and it has not published a report on the decision.

L'ironie dans cette affaire est que Balogun est citoyen américain 🇺🇸 en vertu du droit du sol que Trump a voulu éliminer avec son décret présidentiel.
BREAKING: President Trump reveals the details of his conversation with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the controversial red card call on star American player Folarin Balogun.
"All I did was ask for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled."
"I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible and nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine, nobody talks the referee's decision to red card."

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

After this powerful interview, pro-life Congresswoman Kat Cammack asked me not to air the story of her near-fatal pregnancy complication. But her firsthand account of seeking emergency medical care under Florida’s abortion laws is too important to ignore. Full interview out now.
Un autre candidat au poste de juge fédéral qui refuse de répondre à la question suivante : quel candidat présidentiel a reçu plus de votes en 2020?
BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election?
JUDGE TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy. Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: It's 'political controversy' only because the president refuses to accept the results. I'm asking you as a matter of fact. Who won?
TRAYNOR: As Justice Jackson stated, it is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that
BLUMENTHAL: So you're going to use the same script that other nominees have used before this panel to avoid the question?
TRAYNOR: I think the precedent established by Justice Jackson ...
BLUMENTHAL: As a matter of fact, which presidential candidate got more votes in 2020?
TRAYNOR: As I stated before, this is an issue that Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: You're adopting a script that has been dictated to you by the White House
J'en profite pour rappeler à qui veut l'entendre qu'il n'y a absolument rien de bizarre en Californie : Raman est en avance sur Pratt car plus d'électeurs de L.A. ont voté pour elle que pour lui. Le dépouillement du vote a lieu normalement selon les règles du jeu dûment entérinée
