So will the NYT cover Jack Smith's unsealed evidence as much as it covered Hillary's emails in 2016?

History professors -- if you still assign essays based on primary sources with digital submissions, are you encountering a lot of AI-generated content? How are you handling it? A prof said s/he was requiring annotated notes of primary sources. I'd like to know more.

Trump has consistently maintained a 10+ point lead on the economy. If he wins, the economy will be a major factor. There is almost no factual basis for Trump to have this lead. I spent 2-3 weeks combing through the data. I then rated the economy as objectively as I could at 6.5 out of 10.

Do you feel like mainstream media is failing miserably at explaining the stakes in this election and holding the candidates to the same standards? There are two articles that help to explain why. Julie Hotard: upine.medium.com/why-mainstre...newrepublic.com/article/1849...

Is anyone volunteering for the #Harris#harriswalz2024 campaign? If so, what specific organization are you working with?

Something inside of me has died. Let's call it a spiritual death. It's not a literal death I'm talking about but something else. It's a terrible feeling of regret, sadness, pain, injustice, hurt, and anger. I'd really like to write as therapy but I just can't.

Sometimes I'm struck by photographs that are intensely revealing of so many ills. This is Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's a raving lunatic. The fact that all these obsequious reporters are crowding around her as if she has anything substantive to say is deeply depressing. #Trumpism#politics

Even if you're not on the other site, this thread has been unrolled for you. I was revamping my Civil War lecture and wanted to get some cool stuff out there. threadreaderapp.com/thread/17679...

Good points from this substack. A good reminder that surface-level media coverage benefits the side that lies more often (Trump). I recall Rick Perlstein saying this, too.
