it's underdiscussed how "poetic" it is that the first *imperial* dynasty in China was the Qin and the last was the Qing

Attributable to Connie Luck, spokesperson for the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign: “We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges. actonforgovernor.com/dr-amy-actons-… dispatch.com/story/news/pol…

I hope this ends Ramaswamy's political career, disgusting move by him. might bump the race to Lean D if post-controversy polls look poorly enough for him

Maloney's jingoism post-9/11 is probably why she lost to Nadler in the 2022 primary

here's how the Crystal Ball is handicapping state legislative chambers. I used some discretion to split their "Likely" ratings into chambers that could conceivably flip (GA Senate, NH House, PA House) vs ones where supermajorities could break my tilts here are their tossups

I don't think MS-Sen will be within 5. I do think it'll be within 10 though.
