OBBB remains underwater by double digits in latest @MorningConsult poll of voter support. As I noted in today's MC Politics email, the bill's individual provisions, including work requirements, poll better, but the overall package has a bad brand. https://t.co/d78EcWtRwv

Hern: "I'll say this about the Democrats: the Democrats were willing to go out on a limb and risk their majority to pass the IRA [Inflation Reduction Act]." "It did cost them the majority, but nobody's in the majority forever."

On one hand, it seems unfair that people who have long used em dashes are under suspicion. On the other hand, it’s an incentive for these people to stop using em dashes as a crutch.
