A whistleblower says USPS kept building Trump’s mail-ballot system even after a judge ordered it stopped. They also told Congress they weren’t proceeding. The system is designed to fail: One bad barcode can reject an entire batch of 10,000 ballots. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Ex-Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan's sentencing has been postponed. Instead, a federal judge will hear oral arguments on a recent appellate precedent that Dugan argues should land her a new trial. The judge appears to be taking it seriously enough to grant arguments reconsidering his previous denial.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

The media is putting the pressure on Ridgland farms to release the dogs. I don't know about you but I don't think someone who makes a living off employing people to slowly kill dogs cares about public opinion. Call and text the DAs of #Wisconsin and tell them to do their jobs& get the save the dogs

Crazy to think it would only take like 10 Republicans to flip to impeach Trump. And yet they are too cowardly even though this war is unpopular with 75% of the country. 🇺🇸 Never vote Republican again. Ever.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable. Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice. The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Riddle me this: The Orange Menace POS states, today, we can be in this ‘war’ for a month or until objectives are obtained ( aka endless). General Caine, Joint Chief warned last week of critical munitions shortage. Only 7-10 days of supplies if we go to war w/Iran. Israel ammo is also at wks.
