This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

1. Garland had to sue for testimony of 14 critical witnesses w/o which there'd be no case. The court took a year to rule 2. Garland began investigating Trump when he got to DOJ. He did not wait 2 years 3. Twitter delayed the probe 4 months 4. The J6 cmte delayed it by another 2 months 5. SCOTUS

Dear Texans: Here's an election pro tip. If a candidate won't debate You don't vote for them. Period. It's that simple. By not debating they're saying you're concerns are not a priority. Vote for those who will debate. They have plans and value your concerns. Vote Talarico! Vote Hinojosa!

It is very surprising that disabling iPhone/iPad auto-lock (say, changing from "3 minutes" to "Never") doesn't require an authentication step. Bad actor with temporary access to your device could enable it and wait until you leave your phone out and fail to explicitly lock it.

Hot take on a design problem being ignored: every power outlet a traveler comes into contact with between destinations should be mounted in a *horizontal* surface.

Putting your principles first.
In September 1964, the Beatles refused to play the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, when they learned the crowd would be segregated.
The city backed down.
The show went ahead - integrated.
Bringing that up this week for no reason in particular...

Texas is delaying the release of the state’s maternal mortality statistics until after the midterms. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Texas' first post-Roe look at maternal deaths won't be ready by midterms
Democrats say the timing is suspicious, given the Dec. 1 deadline is after Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans who supported the state’s abortion ban are up for reelection.

“China has more data centers” is not an argument for turning our communities into corporate utility yards. Build them responsibly. Protect our water. Protect our grid. Make companies pay their way. We do not need to win some stupid data-center dick-measuring contest with China.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.

Looking at some of the Dolly Parton coverage and the fact that she died of cancer and it’s still crazy to me that doctors don’t talk about cancer as a disease *process*. People think of it as something that just lands on you and that is so much more terrifying

If Ossoff had said "Natalie Harp" not many people would've noticed. Some politics name. Hear those all the time. Who cares. But saying just "Natalie" makes it sound like gossip you should hurry to decode so you can explain it to your friends. My senator is using the power of lore dumping

Ossoff: "Brian Kemp was right about Mike Collins. Remember how hard the gov worked to prevent this guy from getting the Republican nomination? Coach Dooley would've been an honorable opponent, not a sitting congressman who is surrounded at work and at home by neo-Nazi ideology and white nationalism"
