The utter fiasco of the last 48 hours is just a taste of the chaos Russ Vought would unleash.
It is clear that no responsible Senator of any party should vote to confirm Vought to OMB.
☎️ Contact your Senator and tell them to vote NO on his confirmation: senate.gov/senators/senators…

God,
Keep my anger from becoming meanness.
Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self-pity.
Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.
Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty.
Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.
Amen.
A prayer for days like today from @LauraJeanTruman

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

I sort of remember editorial boards having no problem asking Biden to step aside.

Jesus Christ. Listen, if your drop your kid off a boy and he comes back a girl, take that child back to school because you took home the wrong child. Enough of this bullshit! Teachers can’t even give your kid an Advil without parental consent.

The American Jewish Committee:
“Jews – roughly 2 percent of the U.S. population – cannot and should not be blamed for the outcome of the election. Setting up anyone to say “‘we lost because of the Jews’ is outrageous and dangerous.” forward.com/fast-forward/655…

I often speak about Christian Nationalism as a permission structure. For instance, CN gave the insurrectionists the moral and mental license they needed for the treasonous assault on our democracy on January 6th.
Here is that permission structure laid out explicitly:
