My daughter ( first year at college and voting) tried to order a mail in ballot, but couldn’t get access to a printer / scanner to complete the request form. She voted in person early on Tuesday before heading back to campus after her break.

If there's an executive order on this next week, that will drive away another couple % of Rs. Come Nov 3, Katie bar the door.

A western independent caucus is a way to get murkowski to help with pro democracy legislation; she'd be conservative, but would probably happily hammer the imperial presidency. First, win.

Hospital spelled my last name wrong on my birth certificate. Fixed on an addendum. It's paperwork.

To summarize JVLs column: 1) everybody's going to have to pay more to get more 2) people have been broken by 40 years of "let's cut taxes more!" 3) rebellion against Ds who actually do it? Will take better messaging then we've seen for a while.

Can we just have one day be for Native peoples, and one day for all immigrants? Put one in October and add the other in August. That covers all of everyone's ancestors....

In 2020, Hyde Smith won with 54% against Mike Espy. What's the difference in environment between 2020 and now?

This is the dotcom bubble and pets.com all over again. As with 27 years ago, I'm following Warren Buffetts advice and moving my 401k money into companies where you understand how they make money. Meaning, high dividend yield mutual funds.

It's not basic, because it's been locked in for a century; lotta rust there. Trump's just the cause for needing to squirt legislative WD-40 everywhere.

It got locked at 435 in 1920 as a bone to southern Democrats; continuing to increase the size would have resulted in blacks in the House, you see. Needs to go up to about 700, with national anti-gerrymandering guidelines as part of it.

Tie it in the code to the number of circuit courts. While we're at it, expand the House.

He needs to make amends for his evil. But what he also deserves is to have the nature of the US as a Nation of Immigrants codified forever. We need to welcome all. Hate must lose.

The HS has started to pick based on number of male roles. Last year was Mean Girls - just 2 primary male roles. The year before, Mamma Mia - they needed girls to take some of the secondary male parts.

Learned this from my daughter being involved in spring musical crew - there's like 5x girls to boys interested in being plays, so they often have to have girls play the boys' parts. It's not 'DEI', it's headcount.

Buddy Carter lost his primary, so Johnson’s going to have to bring the House back before 1/3 (and vote on Hegseths impeachment) he gets to vote on anything else.

There's another Ossoff-Collins debate tomorrow night. The Georgia fans here know a phrase from a few years ago - "step on his throat with a hobnail boot".

It’ll look improbable until it happens. I keep staring at GA 7 - north Fulton and Forsyth, cricket capital of the east for good reason. I work up there with all these south Asian folks with American accents, and wonder why thats a solid R. Kozycki’s a good Dem candidate; I bet that’s close.

Esteves really came on in the primary…I agree, I don’t know if KLB can overcome 2020 to win. OTOH, a bazillion dollars has only gotten Jackson to a statistical tie.

Let's get KLB in office, and start building the Dem farm system here. I'd like to see Jason Esteves run again - he was definitely breaking through at the end of the primary.

Is it possible to just ask for the source? Photographer name, publication? If there's no editor, no name on it, why would I believe it? Cite your damn sources.

At this point, Ossoffs campaign is about getting turnout up to help KLB. Collins campaign is about justifying getting the racists out to vote for Rick Jackson.

The 25th was really designed to officially remove a physically incapacitated president (a what if following JFK). So it really does not apply. Only option is to impeach over and over, make the R senators vote individually in support of Trump's lawlessness. And hound him till he resigns.

Lotta these trackers call all donations from Jewish folks “AIPAC”. Ossoff is Jewish - of course he has Jewish donors. But he and Warnock represent the classic Jewish/Black civil rights alliance of Atlanta.

There are plenty of college educated voters in SC now, and a whole lot of really upset black women. And, truly, all of these R senate candidates (except for maybe Hinson) are terrible politicians.
