#EarlyVoting starts tomorrow in #NewMexico. Plan to vote on Thursday at the county courthouse. Checked registration just now. It's good, but if there were a problem, tomorrow is the one day you can register & vote in NM. Check voter registration status here:

2006 Karl Rove pushed US Attys to prosecute voter fraud. David Iglesias in NM was fired for not finding any. Had they not fired him, Iglesias might have ended up GOP Sen from NM, to this day. Long term consequence. Rove should talk about that effort. It contributed to Blue Wave of 2006.

@busis.bsky.social I take exception to your description of Kim Kardashian is "America's most famous woman." If you said she was one of the most famous, sure. But you've got a lot of work to do to make the case that she's more famous than Dolly Parton. (e.g. Kardashian Intl Airport will ever happen.)

Bad day today. Hydroplaned on I-40. No immediate injuries but will be sore tomorrow. Checked into hotel in n Gallup. Next task? Find a rent a car. Had been thinking about a replacement car. Time for EV?

So much climate science is based on machine learning! We wouldn't understand so much of what is going on right now without it. Meanwhile, I can't do an internet search without being bombarded by some broken chatbot. ...Put that processing power back to work on the climate data, please.

Wow. I just signed a 13-page contract for a 2-night stay at a #vacation rental. One of the things I had to agree to was not to cultivate a marijuana crop. Also to change smoke/CO2 detector batteries as needed. Among many other things. Two nights. #BoilerplateContract

Looks like the attack ads claiming she had a "joy ride on Jeffrey Epstein's plane" didn't help the guy with 4 houses and 7 race horses. #DebHaaland #NewMexico Congrats also to #MaggieToulouseOliver who's won the Dem nomination for Lt Governor.

Not the same, of course. But talk of artists who won't play for Trump's parties somehow led to remembering this banger. Same year as "We Are the World", but not charity, not polite. From the streets of New York:

Hannity used the chorus of #MartinaMcBride hit song "Independence Day" ignoring the song's message. Songwriter felt strongly enough that she donated royalties (over $1M) to Planned Parenthood. Good on Martina for opting out of Trump's 250 party once she realized it wasn't like a normal state fair.

“There’s parts of our border [in] which it makes absolutely no sense,” the Texas senator John Cornyn said, when the idea of a Big Bend border wall was floated during the first Trump Administration. With Paxton nominated, another Trump obstacle is removed.

#NewMexico #governor I just got push polled by #SamBregman who tried to equate Native American #DebHaaland w/ #GhislaineMaxwell. Anybody else? Pissed me off, so I sent her $$. Sam grew up in DC where his daddy was very much an insider. Don’t be fooled by the #CowboyHat

Hey, #NewMexico folks. I just called Senator @heinrich.senate.gov to say that friendly working ties with #MarkWayne on tribal bison act is nice, but does not qualify him to run immigration. Reminded him I'm voter, donor & long-time support who is POed. Here's the DC office # to call: 202-224-5521

I called my Rep & both Senators this am. News reported there's a couple weeks to work more on DHS funding, so I offered up my 6 points: 1) No more hiding agents' identities with masks 2) Give people their stuff back (the guy whose phone ended up in resale store, 5 y.o. whose hat they took &c) 1/

Recent History: #ICE used to be #INS aka Immigration & Naturalization Service until 9/11. The #Deportees #WoodyGuthrie wrote the song about had names, known from #Bracero work visas. They put them in a mass grave with single stone w/o names. More story in song intro, plus all the names woven in.

Two panel meme. Top shows fierce Tyrannosaurus rex attack, probably from a "Jurassic Park" movie frame, with text "Democrats fighting Zohran Mamdani." Bottom panel shows Barney, the friendly purple dinosaur from children's television, with text "Democrats Fighting Donald Trump."
