Well well well, everyone. What do we have here?!? I took a wrong turn in early September on the road to Happlebliss and now see we're in a real pickle of jam.

The popcorn was not yet ready to fight.

While pushing propaganda for @SenRubioPress you should at least remind readers what his lifetime AFL-CIO score card looks like @axios. It's 8%. Get it together @mikeallen

Burr and Cassidy. Wow.

[Colonel Happleblop @ColHappleblop]

That's rich @playbookplus: "But can we just pause for a moment to say how extraordinary it is for one party to dictate how the other party handles its committee assignments?" Short memory I see: https://t.co/DuOhyqC7Jt #GetItTogether #FigureItOut

Big majorities of Republicans still think Trump was right to challenge his election loss, support him, don’t blame him for the Capitol mob and want him to be the Republican nominee in 2024, Margaret Talev and David Nather write. https://t.co/o57kgzfVGy

If the US were another country we’d surely have invaded by now.

[Colonel Happleblop @ColHappleblop]

Quite Right.

Clayton Co. (suburban ATL, 69% Black) is at 89.7% of its November turnout:

Warnock +77.0
Ossoff +76.8

Biden (Nov.) +70.9

Republicans just aren't getting a comparable overperformance vs. '20 prez anywhere. That's the story. #GASEN

Here’s the president’s denial of our reporting, which we stand by.

[Colonel Happleblop @ColHappleblop]

Touché....for now.

I wish campaigning and governing were remotely similar as skill sets.

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

Yes, Democrats remain heavily favored, despite their deficit in the tabulated vote. They're favored to win what's left by 9 to 10 points https://t.co/0j5ZRAkGmI

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

About an hour ago, Republicans badly needed a Dem letdown in the outer suburban ATL ring.

But, there's no sign of that happening; as more votes have come in the pattern of GOP underperformance has looked even more consistent.

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

I've seen enough. Raphael Warnock (D) defeats Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in GA's special Senate runoff. #GASEN

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

Democrats are the favorites in the Ossoff/Perdue race as well, which means they're currently favored for Senate control. Still a ways to go there. #GASEN

"It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Everyone needs to come to terms psychologically with the idea that this is going to last a long time." Epidemiologists Helen Jenkins and Bill Hanage talk with @sioroberts about why the curve won't be flattened overnight. https://t.co/3tjLGdz91Q

Har har har!!

Hey kids, I know life is scary right now, but take comfort in knowing that your parents and grandparents and even your great-grandparents have masturbated furiously and with gusto. Take care and be careful!

So, with all this #COVID19 talk, I'm starting to run into a daily question: Hungover or #COVID2019? I usually get an answer around 3 or 4pm...which is then cause for celebration #upwardspiral

The stomping of the rich is not a noise to be ignored in troubled times. It usually means they are feeling anxious or confused about something, and when the rich feel anxious and confused, they act like wild animals.
