So, there are 30 million Americans on unemployment benefits and only 5 million job offers; so Rs think we should slash benefits by 2/3 to force workers to take the jobs that don't exist 1/— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) July 27, 2020
I was wondering whether Rs would show some hint of getting a clue as they stare at the possibility of a huge Dem wave. But I guess we needn't have worried 3/— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) July 27, 2020

Brutal lesson, but people were saying this loud and clear three months ago. It’s not health vs the economy. Choose the economy over health and you’ll have neither.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) July 26, 2020

If Sinclair had any pride, its local stations would BOAST about being part of Sinclair. They would name and own their ideology, which does frequently distinguish them from rivals: "Your conservative alternative in local news." But this is not Sinclair's way. Stealth is.

Gross, but I'm more shocked the left-liberal world hasn't replicated it. It's a $2m/year investment.
