Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
Laws really are just for the little people, aren't they?

Because it flatters the fantasy of white supremacists who want to own people and are called classists and racists (accurately). There is no need for humanoid forms for most jobs which is why no industrial robots are that shape. But when you want to own people, the humanoid robot is the goal.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

House Ethics Committee recommends censure of Rep. Chuck Edwards R-NC: "Edwards engaged in persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct towards two young female staffers." ethics.house.gov/wp-content/u...
Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.
NEW: Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards says he's dropping his re-election campaign, after the House Ethics Committee recommended a censure for inappropriate behavior with female staffers.
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Is Mike Johnson going to throw some more Bible verses at us today while continuing to back Max Miller?
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
