So as long as the US is still in, they will have an asterisk next to any future victory because of this fuckery. Every other country will be able to claim, rightly, that the US cheated.

“Well, we’re all workers…These aren’t just things happening on TV. They’re happening at SEA-TAC, at our work. It’s our home, man, and we can do something about it. We have to do something about it.” “If we’re not taking care of our neighbors, then who is going to take care of us?”

What's with the heavy makeup and styled hair on MSNOW guests tonight? DO NOT LIKE. Even Rachel Maddow looks odd.
4. At the end of the week, the commissioners must agree on a plan. If they do, they get 7 thousand dollars each. If they don't, they are sent home with a warm thank you, and a random seven-year-old pulls a plan from a hat. DONE.
3. Give these seven people (and only them) a month to review the seven plans. Then book them into a nice hotel for seven nights (food and travel included) to discuss the options. People can call in if they don't want to travel.
2: Feed the computer a list of people who have actually shown up at the courthouse for jury duty and ask it to randomize the list. Call these people in order and take the first seven who will volunteer to serve as commissioners.
My dream plan for drawing districts I call "Sevens." Step 1: Feed population size and major geographical features into a computer and ask it to produce seven plans for evenly sized districts. (No party or demographic data entered.)
This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...
As a historian, you might appreciate this one somebody sent me from LA.
One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Hillary Clinton just posted her opening statement to the Comer Committee which she is testifying before today. It's part of the Save Donald from Epstein Investigation. The committee has essentially taken over the town of Chappaqua for the purpose. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!
I'd be willing to bet Donny will fire Vance. (I know, but who do you think would stop him?)
It occurs to me that any time Murdoch decides he'd rather have Vance in power, he and Fox can arrange it in a heartbeat.
61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

Change it to "Boys can have 2 baseball cards instead of 30" and it sounds different, doesn't it?
Thoroughly sick of the media's periodic obsession with Catholic popes. Ooo, the celebrity! the costumes! the mysterious rituals! It's sickening. And has nothing to do with faith or works, history or present-day reality. Just fake drama and good visuals.
Senators who fear retaliation are free to resign with a generous pension. (Most don't even need that since they're already old and rich.) Then candidates who are willing to face the dangers of retaliation can step forward. It would only take a handful of resignations to make a difference.
