The media just focuses on what looks dramatic on TV. Normal people behaving responsibly is boring. Republican governors like Ducey, Abbott and DeSantis are just trying to score points with the Trump cult.

Yes, TV networks focus on what looks dramatic on TV. I didn’t see any coverage of the increase in food stamps which will affect a lot more Americans than the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

Really striking new polling data:
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) August 17, 2021
* 66% of Americans oppose state laws blocking local mask mandates
* 77% oppose nixing school funding to retaliate against them
Dems should speak more directly to this neglected silent majority of Americans.

Kaiser: 63% of parents back school mask mandates for unvaxxed kids
