How are Reason staffers voting in 2024? Who we vote for is a highly imperfect measure of our biases, but it's one we're happy to share every election cycle in the spirit of transparency.

Here's a link to the Reason staff's 2024 voting preferences. I don't know the details of Dalmia's departure from that organization, but Wolfe did acknowledge voting for Trump subsequently. The magazine did also regularly criticize the LP's unholy alliance with Trump, fwiw. reason.com/2024/10/17/h...

I think Trump was wrong to post a meme of the Obamas as apes, thus suggesting they're a higher order life form than MAGA voters.

Does it not occur to them how weird and offputting this is to people? And I don’t even mean in the sense of being appalled by the transphobia; in the much more banal sense of β€œβ€¦ why is this the one thing you insist on talking about?”

Most bullet wounds are brief encounters, I believe.

Pretty sure that's the only way they can stop.

I don't care about Cracker Barrel, but it does remind me of an old Ron White joke: "I'm not a member of the Mile High Club but I do belong to the Mile Ahead Club after getting laid behind a Cracker Barrel billboard."

Say what you will about Donald Trump, he's never been accused of Assault with a Footlong.

Rumor has it if Ghislaine Maxwell does well in her new low security prison, she'll be moved next to a middle-school girl's detention hall.

I, for one, think it was irresponsible for James Comey to reveal JD Vance's pin number like that!

We can't confirm Pope Leo's first pontifical act will be to introduce deep-dish communion wafers.

4-year-old migrant girl, other kids go to court in NYC with no lawyer: 'The cruelty is apparent' The Trump administration cut funding for lawyers aiding unaccompanied minors in court.

Say, here's a thought: maybe Trump could tell some of those big law firms he's been shaking down for hundreds of millions of dollars in pro bono work they should be representing these children!

So we ordered a Heard Island penguin for Easter Dinner just like we do every year and now I discover it will cost 10% more! Unfair!

The reason we can't tell if the Signal chat was classified is because no copy has been found yet in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom.

Pro tip to ICE agents: check the houses with Trump and MAGA lawn signs first. Immigrants put those out to throw you off the track!

If Trump really wanted to shut down the Department of Education, shouldn't he have nominated whoever ran his casino?
