From the @missouriindependent.com: "All eight of Missouri’s congressional districts opposed both Amendment 4 and Amendment 5." missouriindependent.com/2026/08/04/m...
The DownballotThe final margins on those two GOP amendments in Missouri are really wild. Better than 4 to 1 against for both!

it's only possible bc their constituency populations are so strong but i genuinely think the UK does it right by not announcing any results until they've counted everything
Anchorage ManRegardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
I would call and email people like normal. Maybe analyze a database in Excel or Google Sheets. Timestamp interviews if I was in a rush and couldn't transcribe them in full.

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...
Quite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.
oh wow Katie Hobbs is picking Mesa Mayor John Giles to be her running mate Giles was a leading figure in the LDS for Harris movement www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
Two more GOP amendments go down to crushing defeats, both in MO. #4 would have made future ballot initiatives impossible to pass by requiring winning a majority statewide *and* in each congressional district. #5 would have eliminated the state income tax.
AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.
Senator Banks calls the Supreme Court’s decision not to change the law on birthright citizenship “the worst Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.” Keep in mind that he was born and lived his entire life under the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment the Court kept in place.
Aaron RuparSen. Jim Banks refers to American citizens as "the babies of invaders" and compares them to Nazi spies and terrorists
Fun fact: I just published the full story on this topic mere minutes ago. By my count, at least 12 pastors, seminarians & former clergy have launched campaigns for federal office this year, and 5 are already nominees. In response, the GOP is attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...
Highly recommend listening to @jackjenkins.me in conversation with Dr. Amanda Henderson:
The Missouri SoS dragged out his office's examination of the veto referendum (of the GOP gerrymander) for most of 2026 to ensure he can run out the clock; and finally declared today, on the deadline by which he had to act, that he thinks the veto referendum is entirely unconstitutional.

The Chief Examiner at the CFPB, Fatima Batie, warned staff they would face 'most unpleasant' consequences if they were too aggressive in oversight of financial firms, according to an internal email reviewed by Reuters. The threat was emailed on May 13 reut.rs/4w1JyS1
Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
Seth CotlarIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
palmer's rule: the chance that the U.S. government will solve a problem is inversely proportional to the number of think tank papers produced on it.
I wrote about the Trojan horse, and what we can learn from her mouth about different cultural attitudes towards deception and violence. As someone comments below, the phrase GIFT ARTICLE is pretty scary in this context.
