Hey, What are you thinking about from this past week in sports?

@JayG860 @redhotnerd @Aaron_Torres Yes, exactly. In LA, conservative voters were more likely to vote by mail early, or vote in person on election day. Young progressives were more likely to mail ballots close to the deadline - and young progressives are the most likely to vote for Raman.

[Barry Deutsch - Leftycartoons @BarryIsVery]

@JayG860 @redhotnerd @Aaron_Torres Different demographics (on average) vote different ways. For instance, maybe seniors are more likely to vote in person while young voters are more likely to use mail-in ballots.

It's not weird for different demographics to not vote identically. It's normal.

@Woke_Ass_Person @CathyYoung63 @j1ri_ @Timodc Cathy has no clout with the left to lose.

Seriously! I like Cathy and I'm pretty far left. But most lefties who have heard of her just consider Cathy another right-winger. Relatively few on the left make fine distinctions.

(Ditto for people on the right regarding the left.)

@cannot_stop_ish @Brendan_F_Wendt @CathyYoung63 @glukianoff It's excusing Trump - exactly as old as Biden, and showing equal or greater signs of mental decline - to hold Trump to a different, and far gentler, standard than she holds Biden.

I really wish the interviewer had asked the obvious follow-up question: "So are you saying that you hope Susan Collins wins?"

💥NEW: Dem Rep. Jake Auchincloss says Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo should be “DISQUALIFYING”🤯

“I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.”

CNN’s Boris Sanchez: “Wow.”

@Sebastian_Hols @CathyYoung63 Here's the quote: “Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail, but, you know, at some point, if you are a criminal, you’re a criminal."

The men who ordered me to enable the genocide in Gaza are angling to lead US foreign policy again.

I wrote about why they feel so entitled, why they haven't turned over a new leaf, and the risks of pretending Gaza never happened.

@CathyYoung63 I think either the Democrats fight back in perfectly legal ways such as court packing - or they concede that the US is now ruled by a Republican Supreme Court, which will act to insure it remains a Republican ruled court.

Your suggestion in effect would be Dems surrendering.

The hostage crisis fell off the global agenda, because 100% of the remaining hostages are Palestinian.

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

Israeli soldiers admit they have a “shoot all men they saw on sight” policy in Gaza and then claim they’re “terrorists” later, even if they’re unarmed and trying to surrender

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

The Riverside sequence is worth reading carefully.

The citizen group alleged 45,000 inflated votes. The county's chief election official responded with a 40-minute documented public presentation showing exactly where the group's calculations went wrong - they used raw poll worker estimates and approximated intake forms not required by law. The actual variance rate fell within normal California ranges, well below the 2% mandatory recount threshold.

Sheriff Bianco, who is also a Republican candidate for governor of California, seized 650,000 ballots the following month.

The official refutation was public, documented, and presented before the action was taken. It was ignored. That's what the Brennan Center is identifying as the new playbook: unfounded claims don't need to survive scrutiny to become the basis for official law enforcement action. The scrutiny gets acknowledged and bypassed. The action follows. The seized ballots and opened investigations then become the next round of evidence that something must have been wrong.

This is correct, and in this particular case it is also true that the population of the Gaza Strip has declined since October 2023.
Claims the Gaza population has increased are based on CIA projections that were made several months before the Gaza Genocide began.
Many of the Israel flunkies using these projections are perfectly aware they were rendered irrelevant shortly after they were calculated.

@CathyYoung63 @myndmaven "A non-binary person is someone whose gender identity is not exclusively male or female. They may identify as somewhere between, outside of, or fluctuating."

With work, you could find that "incredibly offensive," but usually you're against people straining to be offended.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

We truly don’t have to mystify this. Israeli ambassador to the US at the time Michael Herzog told Israeli media in April 2025 “We fought [in Gaza] for over a year, and the admin never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.”

Past GOP state supreme court packing:

AZ (2016): 5→7, locked in conservative majority
GA (2016): 7→9, flipped Dem majority to GOP
UT (2026): 5→7 after redistricting case loss

They also killed nonpartisan elections in OH and NC, are killing a nominating commission in KS, etc.
