Some facts about the 28 people charged today: - Every one was a lawful permanent resident. - 4 of the 28 are accused only of registering, and not voting, and only 22 are accused of voting in 2024. - The median and average age is 50 - 22 noncitizen voters = 0.0001% of the California 2024 electorate.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 16h agoMonths of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.

Two decades ago the Chicks got in trouble for saying at a concert that they were ashamed George W. Bush was from Texas, and now they've got a contender for Texas's Senate seat saying at a concert how proud he is they're from Texas.

There’s a lot in here, but among the more striking moments is the tail end of the clip, when El-Sayed asks the questioner to disavow “any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of our country.” The questioner responds: “I do not.”
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
It was like watching a samurai work, quick, clean cuts. Tommy was dead for three minutes before he realized it
Marisa's entire piece is terrific, but this part has really stuck with me. A group of College Republicans decided that El-Sayed wasn't "welcome" in the Senate and set out to stop him.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d agoSCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
not just a GOP operative, a *second-generation* GOP operative

Interesting the Tommy refused to disavow any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of this country, but he's worried about Muslims

Shout out to everyone who came out and participated and voted! This was so much fun
The Uproar@uproarnc.com · 3d agoChili cook-off is underway! Stop by, taste some and vote! (Admin can’t tell you which one is theirs).
oh for FUCK’s sake
Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com · 3d agoAn unconscionable error by marta first reported by @saraegregory.bsky.social: It appears that the Atlanta transit agency did not remove GOTV ads from two years ago, meaning that they were (inadvertently) encouraging Georgia voters to plan to vote on the wrong day of the upcoming midterm elections.
I don't find that video of those young Black people walking back to their campus uplifting or inspiring in the least. It should enrage every person and all of us of a certain age should be embarrassed that they have to do this in 2026.
Exclusive: Listen to CBS News correspondent Holly Williams confront Bari Weiss’ handpicked foreign editor, Shayndi Raice, over what Williams described as “dictated” edits to her report marking the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terror attack. Watch the full episode of Power Lines: youtu.be/RcDzn1QP_G4
I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

Starting around 1980, Bose (the speaker company) started thinking about making an automobile suspension using the same type of electromagnetic systems that drive audio speakers. You would have a permanent magnet attached to the wheels, floating inside an electromagnetic field attached to the unibody
Like, all of this is MTG and her grift but also......... This is fucking embarrassing that she has said something and Chuck hasn't.

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:
There was a point in my life that was all about rugby and it was some of the best times I'd ever had. I'll always be forever grateful for the women I met who protected me and taught me how to beer bong.
One thing I'll be forever grateful about is that my rugby teammates made a point to never leave a woman behind at frat or any other parties

My 15 year old nephew just asked me if Philadelphia was in Virginia and I'm about to lose my shit
I just screamed so loud my sister came running into the room saying I missed it?!
