This is an EMERGENCY: The Census Bureau has gone insane and is proposing to block the release of data on households at the city level or lower. This means a decade of research on gentrification, displacement, health, environment ect would be IMPOSSIBLE

Pressuring tech companies to stay out of Texas seems counterproductive for people who care about reproductive rights. Texas has been getting bluer in recent years. Expanding the population of Austin tech workers would likely speed up the process.
The paradox of the national debt: as long as @AlanMCole debt dovishness is the minority view among voters, government will keep spending under control and @AlanMCole will be proven correct (as he has been so far).
Compare what Barack Obama told @ezraklein about his outreach to non-college whites to what David Simas (more accurately) told him in today's piece.
The Simas thing is a little distant from the headline, but I think it's by far the most important element in the story.
There was a hard-knuckled realism to Obama's campaigns that's been lost since 2012 and these days few want to speak frankly.
