We pretty quickly learned from the Brennan Center that Florida had purged some 8,000 from their voter rolls before the election, based on lists of people who had committed misdemeanors, not felonies, and were therefore eligible to vote. Only needed 600 for Gore to win.

No, she won more votes but no one got 50.1%. Now it goes to s runoff election in two weeks, with just the top two candidates. But 2/3 of voters didn't want her, so that's pretty big.

President Trump purchased 11 polar icebreaking ships which totaled around $7 billion. Not only is that twice as many as the Coast Guard needs, but also the contracts for building the ships were awarded without competitive bids.

My theory, as a non-sports fan, with any type of playoff is that the league wants the most games to earn ad/ticket revenue, plain and simple. Players won't/can't throw a game, but refs can. I barely watch sports but noticed they always seem to end up playing the max number of games.

And your idea? Protests started on February 5th, 2025. We didn't feel like we had a choice about it. We were compelled to do something, anything. They grew, & a national strike would too. The first one wasn't going to move the needle much, just popularize the idea.

I love this. This is important, particularly if you are Black and/or a woman. They do not take us seriously. If you are concerned and presenting with any symptoms of a stroke and they blow you off ask "What makes you think it is not a stroke?" Make them break down why.

janethachen.bsky.social @janethachen.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
One cool thing is that many SC GOP lawmakers asked for voter feedback on their social media. It was immediate and super negative. Pols actually pointed out pros and cons about the Trump maps and things they were worried about. We NEVER see that from them. Town halls are a think of the past here.

This is my state, and Republican Senators were worried about many things: 1) this was really looking like a dummymander with a 4-3 split possible; 2) some important cities/counties were split in two; 3) absentee voting had started; 4) cost to taxpayers = 2.5 million; 5) chaos in elections offices.

That is every campaign that I've participated in. It's so frustrating. Most of the time I was knocking doors of people every bit as committed as I was. Waste of time. To me, working freelance to help candidates is what works best. Talk to EVERYONE.

Exactly this. The micro-targeting of messages was unbelievable. It's the only way that every demographic across the country could shift to the right all together. The power of X and other platforms to feed folks like Latinos convincing stories from trusted influencers was really unbeatable.

Wow, commenters on this video are certainly won over. I would say that I have been, too, in the interviews I've seen with him. Tons of support, very genuine, etc. Could he beat Collins? It looks like it. Never heard of LaFlamme. I'm not a Mainer, so not very invested, but it's all fascinating.

Totally agree. We have multiple candidates who have shown that it's possible to win without corporate or PAC money. The folks who take it and cater to those interests give disinterested voters validation to say, "They're all the same. Why should I vote?"

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

It will probably be appealed, so we'll have to wait another year, probably, but there is a chance! And they may have to fund in the meantime, but I don't think so. :-(.

They are not on the No Kings map, and I think there are TONS of locations that are not signed up and are not being counted. If you can estimate how many you saw, please contact the No Kings folks and let them know the total. I did that for the last one and they were very grateful.

The pattern of authoritarians using war for their own ends appears throughout history. War is used to redirect attention away from domestic scandals, political losses, and unpopular policies. It often creates an atmosphere where expanding state power can be framed as national defense

They should ALL be on FOX News and the others, and present legit positions, like he did. There is nothing that anyone can argue with that he said. And FOX viewers are given a picture of radical Dems. They need to see that that's not accurate.
