@Kanew 💯 Melania voted for Kamala.

That part at the end gives big “I know you are but what am I?” Vibes Also: last time happened, bro

@Deggans @jayrosen_nyu Exactly. The print MSM are network TV and readers are cutting the cord to stream the content they want.

I remember trying to talk about the crisis around the lack of trust in mainstream journalism at a panel last year and getting shrugged off. This is going the increasingly be a problem, no matter who wins today.

@jayrosen_nyu Absent from this article is any discussion about its watered-down headlines and the framing that puts campaign trivia on P1 above the fold and iconic GOP defectors on P12.

"With the 2024 presidential election a few weeks away, one question was top of mind for staff at The New York Times: Had the paper’s leadership noticed how many Democrats had become furious at it over its coverage of Donald Trump?" semafor.com/article/11/03/… What's striking to me is how definitive the editors are that any such fury is groundless and partisan in the extreme. It's one thing when you do that to an interlocutor from outside the Times. But these are your own people posing the question. And in the background is the loss of 250,000 subscribers at a rival newsoom— with their reasons.

@Will_Bunch Ann Selzer knows her stuff.

On one hand, no one should be like the Jets and drop the football on the 1-yard line On the other hand, I'm picking up the strong aroma of toast from Mar-a-Lago That's what the tabloids call a "shock poll"

@KamalaHQ Weave away, Donald!

Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage “When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory, but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a— he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was… So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches. I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right? The weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, no. There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works. It's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever”

@Kanew I was planning to quit WaPo, NYT and this site, but I don't want to miss all the trials!

Whispers: “If we get this right, in a few days we could actually be finished with this guy”

@MikeSington $9,000 just doesn't go as far as it used to.

Federal Elections Commission filing shows Ted Cruz spent $9,000 from his Senate campaign account at beauty spas.

@RealLucyLawless Gotta have fascist.

@djrothkopf I predict he will immediately declare his candidacy for the 2028 presidential race. Can’t resist the grift, and he’ll again try to leverage his status as candidate for advantage in his legal quagmire.

@antifaoperative Under the jail.

Ohio police officer, Geoffrey Parker, has pled guilty to possessing and distributing videos & images of nude children, as young as 4 years old, online.

@LorenzoTheCat Why doesn’t she look miserable?!?!?

Another Halloween cat lady. Oh man, they are out in full force and having fun.

@elonsbuttcrack @TheTNHoller @RyanGirdusky @WCSedu @mehdirhasan @Acyn @JDVance Screenshot this tweet.

Y’all — @RyanGirdusky, founder of the 1776 PAC that claims credit for the new extreme WILLIAMSON COUNTY @WCSedu school board members, just said something obscenely racist and offensive to @mehdirhasan live on CNN, then tried to apologize. Watch👇🏽 (H/T @Acyn)

Imagine owning a news organisation where one of your journalists was hacked to death by a dictator, and then not doing *everything* in your power to defeat his fans and enablers…

@BenMullin "...one of the two candidates has shown a deeper understanding of the issues and a larger capacity for leadership." — The ultimate Both Sides.

new: Washington Post publisher Will Lewis explains why The Post won’t be endorsing for president:

@Angry_Staffer @natsechobbyist That’s his concept of a plan for protecting women.

Oh shit. If this is true, that could be what all the GOP has been doing preemptive damage control for. CC: @natsechobbyist

@Messina2012 @froomkin Except no one is surprised.

This Kelly story on Trump wanting to be Hitler is as close to an October surprise as you can get. Trump's own former top aide issuing a dire warning. Never seen anything like it.

@SwannMarcus89 @MollyJongFast Could be cell weighting. They might be too embarrassed to report their actual participation, since race and young people are almost always weighted up.

So Trafalgar released polls of Pennsylvania in September and October and the polls have the exact same age, race, partisan, and gender splits These are two different polls

@adamwren WTF is wrong with you?

New: Who won the day? Trump. politico.com/live-updates/2…

@KamalaHQ @HC_Richardson So tell us, Sarah. What was the story?

Trump: I don't think I've ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They're massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I'd say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I'd get the hell out, ok? Because I don't want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together. I do it a lot. I do it with raising cane. That story. I do it with the story on the catapults on the aircraft carriers. I do it with a lot of different stories. When I mentioned Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I'm using that as an example of people that are coming in from Silence of the Lambs. I use it. They say it's terrible. So they say so I'll give this long complex area for instance that I talked about a lot of different territory… You know, for a town hall, there's a lot of people but the fake news likes to say, the fake news likes to say, oh, he was rambling. No, no, that's not rambling. That's genius. When you can connect the dots. Now, now, Sarah, if you couldn't connect the dots, you got a problem. But every dot was connected and many stories were told in that little paragraph

This guy and JD Vance are cut from the same cloth
