Lifelong Dem who woke up to politics on my 9th birthday on April 4, 1968, when MLK was assassinated and cried 2 months later when RFK was taken out too.

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Kansas Court of Appeals Friday denied Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s (R) latest request to revive a GOP-backed law that would throw out mail-in ballots received after Election Day, even if they were cast on time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GOP bid to scrap Kansas mail ballot grace period fails again
The ruling means Kansas election officials must continue counting ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within the following three days, including in the upcoming November elections.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

They keep perpetuating myths about the Trump/Epstein relationship. They *did* have a falling out, but it was over money, not morality. Epstein showed Trump a property he was thinking about buying. Trump bought it out from under him. An angry Epstein accused Trump of using laundered money to do it.

Putin has seriously twisted his panties lately over Kaliningrad. He has no ground access to Kaliningrad. He has no good air access to Kaliningrad, and a shortage of air cargo transports. He can only reach Kaliningrad through the Baltic Sea. He knows if he attacks NATO, he will lose Kaliningrad.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

It is, and it is 100% illegal! If an officer takes an adult caring for minors (or animals) into custody, they assume custody of the minor/animal until they can get the child to a designated safe place, and the animal to a city/state shelter or animal control. They have to fill out a LOT OF PAPERWORK
