You're not really ahead until the votes are counted. You don't know which votes were counted. If they count Kern Co. (Bakersfield) at first, a Republican is ahead. It isn't fraud when Alameda Co. rolls in.
If you want something done now instead of done right, stay away from elections & policymaking.

Failing upward into ruining not one, but two major networks
I mean, sure, but trying to one-up someone based on something as silly as IQ is just pathetic, especially when there are so, so many more compelling lines of attack.

FY27 House budget calls AHRQ "duplicative." As @academyhealth.bsky.social highlights here, and as I wrote as well (mirandayaver.substack.com/p/why-house-...), this is false. AHRQ does the essential work of funding health systems research & training the next generation.
Call Congress: 202-224-3121
The shortfall will be driven in part by a drop in immigration and Trump’s tax cuts, trustees say, resulting in trimmed benefits.
New at Can We Still Govern: The Trump admin released a report saying that Medicaid work requirements will increase work and reduce poverty. There is a technical term for this: malarkey.
Actual experts @chloeneast.bsky.social & @adrianna.bsky.social break it down.

The ultimate boss of failing upward.
RAJU: The president keep saying the California election was rigged. What evidence have you seen?
SCALISE: You had wide changes after election night in the results
R: They're just counting the ballots
SCALISE: Look, whether you can prove fraud or not, it does undermine voter integrity in the vote
The House of Representatives is at it again, working to eliminate the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a proposed cut that is as misguided as it is dangerous.
CBS News boss Bari Weiss is likely to gain editorial oversight of CNN if and when Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved, according to a report.
STEPHEN A. SMITH: “The Knicks lost. Obviously, I’m blaming Trump. He disrupted our mojo… I’d put my I.Q. up against his any day of the week.”

AcademyHealth opposes the House FY27 Labor-HHS funding bill, which would eliminate AHRQ and cut off funding for patient-centered research.
These programs are essential to improving care quality, safety, and access. Defunding them weakens our ability to build better health care. buff.ly/6HjTvqQ
