Republicans seem to have gerrymandered themselves out of seats by creating close districts that they are losing in a blue wave. If this result holds, the poetic justice will live in infamy forever.

If polling is accurate, tonight is the night billionaires can stop pretending they like living in Austin and plan their move back to Malibu.

Nine months ago, Alex Pretti was on Nicollet Ave when federal agents disarmed him before shooting him at least 10 times, killing him. Today, America is voting, and in Minneapolis, people are showing up on Nicollet Ave in the rain to place their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial.

Maybe because we have a credible report from her close friend, former Governor Jim Blanchard, that at a dinner with Haley and her fiance the day before her switch, Turkish bullied her mercilessly.

Should be a "-gate" level scandal the national media covers wall-to-wall until resignations are submitted and lawyers disbarred. Someone's going to write a hell of a book about a US Attorney's Office's abuse of the GJ system in service of a Gestapo-like deportation policy

So turns out the guy in the viral post saying he got confused and voted for the wrong Dan Sullivan is being paid by the Republican senator Sullivan and is clearly faking it to spread a narrative

The US and Israel are likely headed for a major conflict and resumption of war with Iran. Israel is likely to get everything it wants/needs - and then some.

Elections must be free, fair, and secure.
We got a serious briefing Sunday night on the Trump/MAGA schemes to cheat, and have made preparations so they don’t succeed at subverting our democracy.

To be fair, Katie Miller [then Katie Waldman] does have experience with election-related theft.
In college, she and another student stole 268 campus newspapers and threw them away after they covered her party’s rival in a student gov’t election.
The election was the next day.
ALT Excerpts from Vanity Fair about Katie Miller, then known as Katie Waldman, during her time at the University of Florida. The article reports that, the day before a 2012 student government election, Waldman and student senate president Jason Tiemeier stole 268 copies of the campus newspaper, The Alligator, and threw them in the garbage. The paper’s front page had featured a prominent endorsement of a candidate from a rival student political party. Another student reported the incident, and campus police became involved. The second excerpt says Waldman denied involvement. Tiemeier later admitted his role and named her as his partner; she maintained that she had told him not to steal the papers.
