Interesting how Russia and its proxies seem intent on convincing the world that the US is behind a massive bioterrorism plot, especially given that modern bird flu history started six weeks after known poison-monger Putin rose to power at the Kremlin as Yeltsin’s chief of staff.

Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.

A short video of a gorilla named Kiyomasa from a Japanese zoo has gone viral after the primate was filmed appearing to brood deeply following what zoo officials described as a disagreement with a female companion.

[Karen Piper @PiperK]

This man is a troll who says that any election won by Democrats is "stolen." He also oversees national election security for Homeland Security.

He's been pushing the ridiculous "California fraud" narrative.

He studied at Moscow State University. 1/

I still think the most impressive award show performance ever is Neil Patrick Harris's opening number at the 2013 Tonys. like, the ONLY time they were able to successfully complete it was during the live taping. and every celeb in the audience was STUNNED by the end.

here's the video in honor of tonight's Tony Awards lol

Asked for actual evidence of his claims, Trump throws a tantrum and runs away.

Notice—he never offered a shred or scintilla of evidence.

He just yelled at her and ran away.

Sigh. Why won't anyone do research before posting?

Responding to your six points.

1. Yes. It is legal. States have different laws.

Still has to come from a registered voter, has to be returned in the return envelope assigned to that voter, there is no evidence of mass mail theft, and it has to have the voter's signature, which is checked (part of why it takes a long time).

2. California verifies identity through return envelope barcode and signature verification -- as is done for many financial and legal instruments.

This is the same way it's done in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, etc.

3. Unattended drop boxes. You do realize that every USPS box is an "unattended drop box," right?

That's why it's nice that all Californians can track their mail ballots. And so too can the election officials.

4. Homeless regularly paid to vote. I'll settle for 5 proven examples in recent elections. Also, homeless are allowed to register and vote.

5. You're just pointing out that California is an "all mail" state and that almost everyone votes by mail as a result. Yes. And that's part of why it takes so long.

California does voter list maintenance. Otherwise it would have a laundry list of lawsuits under the NVRA.

And, for better or worse, you can't remove somebody from voter rolls just because he doesn't vote. So if you, e.g., move out of an apartment, but don't tell the registrar, and don't fill out change of address with USPS, then a mail ballot is still showing up to your address. And if the new resident simply throws it in the trash, then you're not taken off the voter rolls just because you didn't return a ballot.

Now, if you're suggesting that states should share information with each other, such that they know when somebody registers in a different state, then I agree with you.

That's why California should join ERIC. And it's why it's a shame that some states have left ERIC in recent years. That's bad for voter list maintenance.

6. This is just comparing apples to oranges. And you can easily Google the differences in the two systems.

But first, as a factual predicate, you might want to be more careful. I'd suggest you start with this New York Times article: "Why Do Elections in India Take So Long?"

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

[Konstantine Simakis @MensHumidor]

@Liaeyaa @GregWAutry @gtconway3d Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this does not inspire or lift my soul. It also shows the White House’s photo to be false, which is the point of the original post.

This is fascinating and worth your time. Jared Kushner is using his quasi government position to grease massive deals with Saudi money and backing from a shady Epstein-connected network.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

BRUTAL indictment of @bariweiss by Scott Pelley:
"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified." Then it gets worse...

Call me old-fashioned, but I think it should be a bigger story that a sitting Republican member of Congress is missing, nobody knows where he is, yet he’s somehow still insider trading.

@WhiplashsUSA @JohnCleese Uh, I didn’t say anything. I just got here.
