NEW: The RNC is rushing to defend restrictive mail ballot rules in North Carolina. The move comes after the state’s GOP-controlled election board took extraordinary steps to muscle the rules through in time for the midterms. demdock.com/4AUOziZ

RNC, state GOP rush to defend North Carolina's last-minute mail ballot restrictions
The rules would not have gone into effect for this election if the board had followed proper legislative procedure, Democrats say.

i don't care what the issue is, if your election opponent is running millions of dollars in ads about one single issue, you cannot, under any circumstances, say that your opponent is right about the issue.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Another tweet that hasn’t aged well, and it’s worth revisiting. Those words by JD Vance were a central part of the Trump’s campaign’s message in 2024. Looking at the administration’s subsequent foreign policy, many people see a significant gap between that promise and the reality.
Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Alright this will be long and I might fudge a few things, but here's the sincere explainer on the "why proof-of-lifing McConnell matters" discourse: it's 100% about the possibility of Trump getting a fourth SCOTUS justice and the VERY tight window of making this possible/impossible. (deep breath)

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

A reminder that the animal shelters are really struggling right now. Many of them have wishlists on chewy, Amazon, walmart, your local farm store, etc. Even if you just put a few extra cans of food in your basket or donate old towels & blankets. Donate your time to socialize pets.
