Hannah, I’m disappointed in the clickbait title. Claiming these agencies “did not present evidence” is not merely misleading but untrue. You are spreading same sort of misinformation that drives clicks for conspiracy bloggers and Fox News.

There are many reasons to not present much of the evidence. Much of it can be surmised by what level of confidence each agency gave it. NSA can only give moderate confidence because of the way NSA gathers its evidence. The FBI and CIA almost certainly have human assets at high reaches of the government and their lives…

This may come as a surprise to you, but ALL magic tricks are fake.

Or, maybe, Democrats are actually capable of being nuanced about things, and liked Wikileaks when it was publicly committing itself to being neutral and non-partisan. And then Assange was put under investigation for rape and his history of egotism and egomania came to light, and Wikileaks started leaking things like…

That was the moment in my youth when I knew I was gay! That movie is packed with man buns!

I think I have a gay sensibility and I feel like I’m gay, because I’ve always transcended gender, and I’ve always seen love as transcending gender...I have a gay sensibility.

Who do you work for, Mattel?

It’s so weird how (usually conservative) dudes have created an imaginary alternate universe in which 1) women are the most vocal opponents of women serving equally in the military, and 2) this is literally the last barrier to equality.

Thanks :)

McDonald’s is Eugenics? Public school are eugenics? Words do not have a meaning anymore, I’d like fish in my coffee, hat!

Mmmmmm, I had a sex dream about Rami last weekend. It was delightful! I wish such happy dreams upon all those who find him yummy. My gift to you this holiday season.

I’m gonna give him a tub of kisses and a desk of cuddles.

I was just thinking that, lol Like, isn’t she also a zookeeper? Can’t it just be, “The Zookeeper”?

Hi Anna, Unsure if you’ll see this as I’m a long time reader but relatively new poster. But this was a great piece. I was wondering if there are plans for an article on an itemized guide to arguing for choice in light of the upcomming holidays? It’d be great to have a go-to place for facts to refute anti-choicers and…

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way…

Yeah, he’s a weird scapegoat in this saga. Flash back a week and a half ago and there were people all over the internet (including on this family of websites) writing pieces about how he was being way too bullish about Trump’s chances. Now, we’re blaming him for not being bullish enough...

Silver constantly warned that this election was different given the volatility in the polls and the large amount of undecided voters. He also warned that there was a significant possibility that Trump would win the Electoral College, but would lose the popular vote. Nate Cohn at the Upshot, however, was completely…
