Let's give a shout-out to whichever editor correctly knew that "data" was a plural noun, but then stipulate that the headline would have been better if rephrased using the word "facts." "Data have" is ugly and inelegant.

I agree with this, but with one huge caveat: I think abortion extremism was the decisive issue. Surely, the it helped the Democrats in many states, but it killed them in Florida, and hurt them in Georgia, Texas, and Ohio.

However, if the GOP ends up with a majority of only a handful of votes, then power is handed to the few GOP representatives who will be willing to cross the aisle and vote with the Democrats, just as Manchin and Sinema wield power in the Senate.

About 140 GOP election deniers were elected to the House, last I heard. That puts them in the majority of the GOP caucus. If the GOP had a 20-30 majority in the House, their will would certainly prevail.

The reoccurring meme that if the GOP gets only a small majority in the House that it will be handing the power of the House over to Greene seems farfetched.

Trump's comment is just one step away from Trump mocking Youngkin by stretching the skin in the corners of his eyes and speaking in a fake Asian accent.

I lived over a decade in China, and "Youngkin" doesn't sound even remotely Chinese to me. In fact, it appears to be a German name. But if it were a Chinese name, why would it make a difference, unless you were a racist?

Over on the bird site, the worst I got trolled in the last year was when I unfollowed and muted a woman for spamming a thread about covid with lies about the supposed dangers of the covid vaccine. She took umbrage and sicked all her followers on me. I guess it got worse after I blocked her, but I'm uncertain about that because I blocked all her followers as well.

No one is harmed by a mute or even a block. It's not like burning crosses on someone's lawn. It's just me saying that I'm tired.

All I know is that if I were McGinley, I'd be waiting by the phone.

Somehow, Trump thinks that by confessing he rigged Florida's election for governor in 2018 it hurts DeSantis.
