A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

The last 2 weeks at FBI HQ: - deputy director resigns in frustration - veteran FBI counterterrorism supervisors demoted - massive data hack - Patel snubs FBI’s Canadian counterpart - Patel struggles to explain lower professional standards - Trump attacks FBI’s Butler probe www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
ms.now
As another deputy director resigns, Kash Patel’s FBI confronts even more chaos
The FBI will hopefully someday become a normal law enforcement institution again. That day, however, is not close.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.
