We’re doing our part in Barcelona registering students and other expats to vote from abroad. Many events and and a crap ton of students registered. Votefromabroad.org and students.votefromabroad.org. Next up are ballot fill-out/return events.

Somebody actually has the job of being this dude’s body double. I wonder if he has to study the glitches, the gait, wear the, well, you know. (I thought my job sucked.)

My Spanish iPhone says "Lago Ontario" whereas my US iPhone said "Lake America"... That is until I changed the region from US to Canada. Not sure if that has other implications, but I'm going with it.

What’s even worse is that if you’re outside the US it’s still Lake Ontario. Hey Google! If you’re gonna pander at least go all-in. Wusses.

Delighted to hear that your cottage cheese isn’t viral. We’ve had far too many stories about food-borne illnesses this summer.

It's obvious that we do not need these shock-first-ask-questions-later gloves. But here's the thing: Where does this lead? Hint: Starts with a "G", and we seem to be but minutes away from it.

I wouldn’t even call them “choices”. I think “caprices” is more fitting.

Love how he muses that this is perhaps because the prez has been hit with a touch of dimentia. No, dude! He campaigned on this. specific. use. case. Shocking!!

It really annoys me how stories in the MSM about McConnell leaving rehab are accompanied by recent news photos of him. Point is, there are NO PICTURES. Do not provide him cover.

For all of these dark days, there's something grotesquely sad about this one, where Dr. Anthony Fauci has had his a** hauled before our kangaroo congress. It's sick.

Actually, she's uniquely qualified. Let's call this out for what it is: DJT usurped the power of the governorship of SC and now he's the de facto senator of SC. This is really bad.

Was doomscrolling during breakfast this morning. News had come out 12 minutes before. Shreiked OMFG!! To my partner. Now it feels like she’s been dead for years. Let’s move on.

5-4-3-2-1... Trump takes credit for it. He will argue that while he didn't sign it, neither did he veto it. Glad nobody blinked re: the so-called Save America act. Well played, @kim.senate.gov, et. al.

If you reside overseas, you too can vote in federal elections. (Eligibility to vote in state and local elections varies by state.) Go to votefromabroad.org to request your ballot.

It pains me that 'competency porn' is a thing, yet here we are. As a DC native old enough to remember, it's Washington porn. My favorite nod in the movie is to 'Judy', who allegedly gatecrashed Trish Nixon's wedding reception. 'Judy' became etiquette columnist Miss Manners. I miss DC and competency.

No, you're onto something: The right wing in Europe is hella smart.

She was right to call him out of course. Also Georgia Meloni: Non avrei mai pensato che i leopardi mi avrebbero mangiato la faccia.

With limited exceptions, it isn’t the USPS’ business what’s inside an envelope, ballots or otherwise.

Yeah, not so fast. I’d still be able to vote, and guess what?!

Oh good! I still refuse to call it <air quotes> Reagan Airport, now there are two! Yes, Eric, there's no one as deserving of such an honor, but it's definitely a tie.

I live in Spain where things come together just in time; and people trust that they will. It took a long time to not want confirmation for every little step along the way in the way Estadounidenses expect.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez up close and personal. (I did not fan-girl.) Tim Walz also here. Friends got him to record a plug for votefromabroad.org #GlobalProgressiveMobilization #ForwardTogetherNow

Let’s not forget the two other times he’s done this: claiming to be the second coming of Christ / the king of the jews, and posting an AI image of himself as the new pope after Francis died. We didn’t laugh then either.
