WOW Seems like voters do not like being asked to give up their votes
The DownballotThe final margins on those two GOP amendments in Missouri are really wild. Better than 4 to 1 against for both!

This ruling — read correctly— is an indictment of our very broken political system.
Adam Klasfeld"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW
The alternative, and your duty of office in this case, is to NOT CONFIRM HIM.
Aaron RuparCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
This is “public” policy, yes?
Social Media Lab"The White House says its AI framework is done. It will not say what is in it. The framework gives the government a 30-day preview window on frontier models. The benchmarks are classified. The thresholds are classified. The framework itself is not classified, but it is not public either."
Gaslighting abusive MFer. Also, extremely stupid.
Allison GillMax Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.
This is good. And also of course would be vetoed even if Democrats take both house and senate. But it is good to propose things and make Republicans block them (for now). …now let’s talk about impeachment.
Scott DworkinPadilla co-wrote a bill that would let the public sue a sitting president to recover money taken through corruption. Yes, a sitting president. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-law...
We are sooooo fucked when the next pandemic hits.
Aaron RuparBASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?
Once again, something that would have been good to know BEFORE THE ELECTION!

Wow. The discovery on what they told the Grand Jury to get this BS indictment must have been BAD for them to cut bait and run this quick.
Allison GillBREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.
“Newly discovered information” is doing a TON of work in this letter. All of this is information well known, or easily ascertainable, before they went to the grand jury.

The only domestic terrorists in this story are pulling the strings at DOJ.
drdind🧵Macalester College Buddhist studies professor Erik Davis and Home Health Care nurse Natasha Rakotz have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism charges for their roles in protests against ICE in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. The charges are ludicrous.
Put up or shut up.
Marc Elias🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania’s top election official, a Republican, rebuffed the Trump administration’s claim that nearly 15,000 noncitizens could be registered to vote in the commonwealth, demanding it explain how that estimate was calculated. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What about the infinite IRS immunity, Todd? /angry goose meme
Allison GillNEW: Cornyn got language from Blanche saying the slush fund is rescinded, but there’s no mention of tax immunity. It *sounds* to me like Cornyn and Tillis blame Trump, and not Blanche for stonewalling. I fear they’ll use that as reason enough to confirm Blanche.
If this failure to even try to protect a state against a nation we are at war with isn’t a high crime… what is?
Kevin M. KruseTrump has refused to protect blue states after natural disasters and now he's refusing to side with them after attacks from a country we're at war with. (Some of) America First
