Somebody asked me today why I keep fighting as a union officer when everything seems so bleak for federal employees and our unions right now, and my answer was "it's a combination of optimism and spite. Some days it's more one, some days it's more the other."

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

And we knew this in real time. Oman's foreign minister flew to America to appear on TV and tell us that the negotiations had reached a breakthrough. Probably because he knew exactly what Kushner and Israel were planning.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Serious list of state leg. candidates in Utah, including open and winnable races. Democrats should compete everywhere and your contributions go further in local races. Most GOP political stars got their start in the state leg. - flipping these winnable seats in "red" states pays big dividends.

I'm thinking that it's not that they despize Paxton especially (well, Cornyn does) but while W does have standards, they're very low for Republicans. I'm guessing that whatever Cornyn's motivations, W has probably written Paxton off.

I might be wrong, but the Walmart in Tooele, UT might be out of regular gas. The pumps wouldn't distribute to several customers, nor me, until I re-ran my card and chose the next grade up. Walmart had regular listed at $4.69/gal and was backed up and everywhere else in town listed $4.99/gal for reg.
