I hate to brag but this morning, I voted for @Booker4KY and took a selfie on my bike, making a great choice and a boneheaded one before most people had even eaten breakfast
Blanche says evidence recovery is "not an exact science" and that when weapons are fired [inside a hotel], "sometimes you find the bullet, and sometimes it just disappears."

Michelle Obama is one of my favorite people, but last night in Virginia, we saw what happens when Republicans go low and Democrats fight back, fight hard, and fight to win.
When they go low, make them regret it.
Daniel, if you think that’s all the SAVE Act does, you haven’t read the bill and don’t deserve to be in the Senate. Don’t gaslight your voters. Under this bill, among other ridiculous provisions, DHS will decide whether you are eligible to vote. Are you ok with that?
Reminder that President Obama diplomatically ended Iran’s nuclear program a decade ago, and Trump 1 violated the agreement, ending a deal that by all credible accounts (including US intelligence), Iran was adhering to.
Yes 06 was a 42 seat swing (or so) but more important is what happened in 2007.
- 1st min wage increase in a decade
- student loan interest cut in half
- vets care got largest increase in history
- legislation guaranteeing = pay for women
- and on
When dems win, lives improve

NEW from @washingtonpost:
🔵Democrats hold a 14-point advantage in voter enthusiasm over Republicans
🔵That advantage is the largest Democrats have had ahead of a midterm election since 2006
🔵In 2018, Post-ABC polls showed Democrats held a five-point edge in January
Since I’ve already slammed Barr’s campaign, time for Morris’s. When are you, or any of your opponents, going to talk about how to make life better for Kentuckians? Is the only thing that Republican primary voters care about making life miserable for immigrants?
Great sitting down with @BrianTylerCohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the @ObamaFoundation. https://t.co/xyskxKbM8n
No, Scott. You’re not doing it right. The President you so blindly defend banned a black and a gay Governor from the dinner. How does that conform to what your faith teaches?
This seems possibly less crazy than the repeated executions of innocent Americans by the US government during unprovoked paramilitary invasions of our cities. Maybe it depends on your definition of crazy
When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:
A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.
This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.
The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
