Dude during the last World Cup they’d call up Clatts and he’d be like “I’m going to wait for the referee and VAR’s decision before I weigh in on this one” And it was just….what are you adding here then?

it might not even be explicit voter intimidation by design, right? it's just that there are national guard all over the city, so they're always standing around places they shouldn't be, which is every place. the solution is for them not to be there at all.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

I just don’t understand how you can write “why did she go to the get assaulted house” without immediately reaching the next step “wait why is there a get assaulted house?”

With Talarico up 51-45 on Paxton, it's safe to declare this race a referendum on Talarico's single stair bill. The majority of Texans are giving a resounding yes to Senator Single Stair.

Talarico continues to lead polls as spending ramps up in Texas Senate race
The U.S. Senate race in Texas is shaping up to be the most expensive Senate race of all time as polling shows Democrat James Talarico extending his lead over Republican Ken Paxton.

Incredible.
Analysis. Does a sex assault claim kill a political career? It depends.

Ghraham Platner’s swift exit followed Eric Swallwell’s similar departure from the California governor’s race, but Republicans have taken a different tack.

When I was still in Texas I signed up for his campaign emails twice on accident and one time I typoed my name so every time they send out a message I get one with no personalization and one addressed to “Marr”

Beyond the painfully obvious reply to this nonsense that "this is exactly what you voted for," Trump voters should if anything be upset that ICE has come nowhere near his explicit campaign promise to deport *one million people per year* abcnews.com/Politics/jd-...
abcnews.com
JD Vance says mass deportations should 'start with 1 million,' defends 'thought experiment' giving parents extra votes
GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance spoke with ABC News' Jonathan Karl about a wide variety of topics including immigration and his views on childless Americans.

Definitely worth looking into, but much easier to explain with rising fuel costs, etc rather than making me question the entire financial accountability structure in the organization

It is, unfortunately, extremely funny though that they asked to delay the joint session with council as if there was any chance of that happening.

i’m a trans Texan and i’ll be voting for Talarico and strongly encouraging others to vote for him, but i still think he’s a coward for acquiescing to whatever bad advice he received. to some folks that’s unforgivable. i respect that, and you should too. either way, please read the piece.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Talarico is wrong on this. Period. Whatever his personal beliefs about (extraordinarily rare) care, a national ban steps between the people who should be the ones making these decision: families and trusted providers. This doesn’t win votes. And it harms real people.
