I think Nate did a phenomenal job calling out pollsters in that time. Since 538 was predominately a poll aggregator that did tricky stats to rank the reliability of each poll. I remember specifically an interview with him griping about some of the unusual data he was seeing from pollsters that made it look like, and I quote, 'Someone has their finger on the scales'

Side note the OMB (agency issuing memo in question) website redirects straight to whitehouse.gov, which seemingly was not previously the case.

Love taskwarrior. Looking forward There's a great TUI; https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui

I wish cross-device-sync was feasible, but it's pretty good.
