Call me crazy, but I’m rooting for a Cubs-White Sox subway series this year. Go Chicago! Maybe we could get Pope Leo or his envoy to bless the teams and throw out the first pitch.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Here's a graphic illustrating their "rigged election" strategy:
A circular flow diagram on a blue background titled "Rigged Election" Strategy (in the center, in pink text). Six white text boxes are arranged in a ring, connected by light-blue curved arrows pointing clockwise, indicating a repeating cycle. Reading clockwise from the top, the six steps are:

Repeatedly say elections are "rigged"
Change laws to make it harder to vote
Muddy the waters: confuse voters & suppress votes
Seed & amplify rumors that echo "rigged election" refrain
Contest results (you don't like)
Sow distrust in democracy

The arrows loop back from "Sow distrust in democracy" to "Repeatedly say elections are 'rigged,'" showing the cycle as self-reinforcing.

So frustrating. Here's WA GOP leader Jim Walsh claiming mail-in voting doesn't work because the USPS isn't postmarking mail fast enough. And WHY IS THAT, Jim? Because the Trump administration CHANGED how the USPS postmarks mail in ways that delay that date.
Screenshot of a Facebook post by Jim Walsh commenting on a reposted tweet from the Lynnwood Times. The Lynnwood Times post includes a photo of three people at a press conference podium, with two women flanking a man speaking at a lectern bearing a "United States" seal, in front of American and Washington State flags.

Word-for-word transcript:

Jim Walsh's post (top):

Jim Walsh · Follow
15h · 🌐

There was a sharp rise in the number of disqualified ballots in the recent WA primary election.
Mostly because they were postmarked late.
This is part of the reason that voter turnout was so low.
It's also a major flaw in WA's mailing voting system.
Simply absurd to call this system "100% accurate." It's not.
