Economics isn’t rocket science, and even rockets frequently land in the wrong place or explode in mid-air. -W. Buiter, economist Citigroup.

Well, The election is over. I am so sorry. I am exiting this platform. Stay safe and I’m on Threads and Spoutible.

Big win for post-liberal politics and economics. Also for measles, mumps, polio, and tooth decay.

A convicted felon who was held liable for sexual assault & found guilty of business fraud, who tried to overturn an election (inciting violence) & who mismanaged a pandemic so 10Ks suffered avoidable deaths is in a position to regain the White House. America is broken.

My brief message to Americans voting today. From Ukraine, the epicenter of that struggle between good and evil, between democracy and dictatorship. Please lend me 90 seconds of your time:

🚨 NEVADA: Sec of State Aguilar is reaching out to voters who need to verify their signatures before their ballots can be counted. Look out for a text with instructions.

It literally blows me away that, at this moment, 10,000,000 Americans have voted for Trump, with many millions more to tally.

How can anyone support such a disaster of a human being, let alone many millions?

I will NEVER understand.

They had 32 bomb threats in Fulton Co. alone.

From Trump's Russian friends.

BREAKING: A crucial county, Fayette County, GA, has counted nearly all of its votes and shows Donald Trump losing ground in comparison to 2020. This is huge.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Don't be alarmed by Trump taking an early lead in the electoral vote count. We knew Kentucky, West Virginia, and other deep red states would be the first to be called. Hang in there. And if you're still in line to vote, stay there.

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

DEKALB COUNTY: If you vote at the North DeKalb Senior Center or the Briarwood Rec Center, you can still go vote until 8:22p & 8:29p!

Make your voice heard—and stay in line!

First hand info from a poll worker:

“There is so much redundancy in this system. Seeing it firsthand it is nearly impossible to cheat. It’s like the envy of the world as far as elections. Yeah he’s going to say it’s rigged. “

@altNOAA What a wonderful story! I feel the sting of tears - and I’m being serious.

Paul Rudd showing up at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to bring students water while they were getting ready to vote made me so happy!

He's a national treasure!
