⚠️ Any voter who returned their ballot to the Fisher’s Landing Transit Center ballot drop box in Vancouver — at any point this weekend —should contact the Elections Division of the Clark County Auditor’s office immediately to request a replacement ballot, due to an arson at the ballot drop box.

You can request a replacement ballot by:

- Calling the auditor's office at [phone]

- Emailing [email protected]

New: Child care workers earn notoriously low salaries, but states are realizing that has to change — and that they can change it.

Come for the reporting on wage supplements, stay for the beautiful photography by @RosemMorton.

The last paragraph of this excellent piece brought me back to Richard Trumka's big 2008 speech. Union leaders should lead. https://t.co/W24OhHUbA7

Sean O’Brien successfully pissed off the Democrats, his own members, and the whole labor movement, on behalf of a candidate who, if he wins, will stab the Teamsters in the back. Smooth.

@NerdPaulNYC @Devilstower I think that's a question for management.

If you get a job in a workplace where there's a union, you join the union. It's just about that simple.

@johnhawkinson @badusername2121 At least when it's tabulating four million rounds of ranked choice voting Cambridge has an excuse. This is just pathetic -- as with so many things about our city government.

@johnhawkinson Dang, I was about to send my husband there, too.

[Laura Clawson @LauraClawson]

@johnhawkinson It's bedtime for my kid unfortunately. Do you think it's worth heading over in like 20-30 minutes?

[Laura Clawson @LauraClawson]

@johnhawkinson Can you get the Graham & Parks results? MacKay was out there at school drop-off and pick-up times and I'm so curious.

[John Hawkinson @johnhawkinson]

I'll try to do some realtime #cambma election results again this year.

I don't know if the Commission will be posting machine tapes, but if people want to crowdsource that'd be great!

Love how when @bradbaumn is on MSNBC I get texts from both my mother and mother-in-law.

This Betsy DeVos-Kim Reynolds love fest today for vouchers appears to have been co-sponsored by the Heritage Foundation.

Vouchers lead the education chapter for Heritage-Trump Project 2025.

Trump: I got rid of Roe v. Wade. That was an incredible thing

@alexnpress That one was when @bmadeloni won the presidency of the Massachusetts Teachers Association. I was a completely incidental messenger but it was a really fun thing to get to be the messenger for.
