Pragmatic center-left (vaguely). Facts matter, data beats opinions. But right and wrong matter too.

@BougyLibHere @JRubinBlogger Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Walk — #DemocratsDeliver on jobs, vaccines, economic development, infrastructure, cleaner energy, etc.

Chew gum — #RepublicansAreTheProblem with their willingness to destroy democracy, foster the #BigLie, filibuster, etc.

My middle daughter, currently a freshman at Lehigh University, has been on line to vote for 6.5 hours and counting. She did meet Jonathan Groff, which was nice, but it sure smells like voter suppression to me.

how in the world does this happen? insane

[Payton Armstrong @Payarm18]

for 80 millionth time, the only reason Pennsylvania can't do this is because Republicans blocked a bill that would've allowed the pre-processing of early votes

[Jonathan Chait @jonathanchait]

Have the Russian bomb threats targeted any Republican-majority polling places? or only Democratic ones?

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

Russia = Team Trump

The abortion rights measure in Florida 'lost' with 57% of the vote and 1.5 million more votes than the opposition.

And for what it's worth: Amendment 4 got a million more votes than Ron DeSantis did in 2022

2/ the key points are a) they're not real. there are no bombs. it's safe. b) they're coming from russia and in most cases appears targeted toward areas of heavy Democratic voting. c) we know what's going on here.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

BREAKING - Over 40 different fake bomb threats have now been called into Democratic-leaning polling places

And they're coming from RUSSIA

This should literally be THE story right now -- it is blatant and brazen election interference to steal the election for Trump

If you want to know why 57 percent support isn't enough to pass a ballot initiative in Florida, the answer is these corporations:

[Susan Rinkunas @susanrinkunas on Bluesky ☁️ @SusanRinkunas]

Worth repeating: The Florida amendment is sitting at 57% approval, which is enough to pass in any other state. It only failed because of the threshold.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

They had 32 bomb threats in Fulton Co. alone.

From Trump's Russian friends.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

Cable hosts saying a candidate is “leading” in a state is misleading. It’s not a ball game where a lead is contested. The votes are all in; they just haven’t finished counting, giving the illusion of a game. No one is “leading.”

My response to Trump's unfounded allegation of cheating in Philly's general election:

The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. 1/2

@ryanjreilly There’s never a repo man around when you need one! 🤣🤣🤣

Gallant listing 3 areas of disagreement with Netanyahu which led to his firing tonight:
1. His insistence that Haredi men serve in the IDF
2. His support for a deal which would free the hostages in Gaza
3. His support for a national commission of inquiry on failures of October 7>

@Olivia_Beavers Waste of $$$. We need to take some lessons from European democracies on limited time, publicly funded elections.

@lyndonbajohnson More like “cashing out!”

Matching of signatures has always been an incredibly stupid method of confirming identity.

And now this...

On election Day, Larry Hogan can't bring himself to vote for Kamala Harris to preserve democracy.

If you think he'll stand up to Trump, remember he refused to vote against Trump.

He's a spineless coward.
