"No one is coming to save us, we're going to have to do it ourselves" ~ from a community meeting last night, met with huge applause

@visceralscenery It reminds me of the park board debates around the Hiawatha golf course. They pitted two minority groups against each other and then someone got up and said something like "the fish in the water deserve a vote on this too."

@Michele_Tafoya Only in weirdo republican world are police defunded when they got huge budget increases and huge raises

@EdMorrissey Think he’s keeping classified documents he took from the White House in his bathroom?

@HistoryBoomer how about "old-school Catholic" Democrat?

@rachaelmbade And yet, he'll keep doing that kind of stuff over and over again.

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.

I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:

There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.

The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.

This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:

A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.

Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.

State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.

Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.

Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.

Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.

What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?

Ask The Heritage Foundation.

For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”

The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”

It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.

That’s billions and billions of American votes.

Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:

1620.

That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:

1. Some individuals commit election fraud.

2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.

The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.

It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.

Stop trying to subvert our democracy.

@SeanTrende @chrislhayes What democratic fraud? Please provide examples

[Rob @nokomisrob]

@Michele_Tafoya @peggyflanagan I'll be waiting to hear your opinions on Trump enriching himself as president, you know, because you care about fraud so much

@theblaze Probably smoked it a whole 50 yards

@KyleSeraphin @AnnaBower @emptywheel @lawfare Yeah, let's all feel bad that J6'ers faced consequences for their actions

@bamboo_master_m @MattWalshBlog There were protests after her murder in the same way Philando Castile and Jamar Clark were protested. The police chief resigned and the cop served almost 5 years in prison.

[Rob @nokomisrob]

@AaronBlake I fight about this with my friends all the time, but Matt agrees with me that you should simply allow guys to fight once in a while. Let players self-enforce unwritten rules.

@SeifertESPN Are they going to open up the stadium for it?

@williemoeday @BryanBrygrant @atrupar At the schools I've worked at no classes = no FA. You have like 10 days to drop without owing anything. So if you never show up, we just drop you and you don't get your money. If you ghost after that, then you keep the money if you're willing to deal with later repercussions

[Rob @nokomisrob]

It’s not hard to say that Graham Plattner should not be elected as a US Senator. Nazi tattoos are an easy disqualifier and I can’t believe Dems are looking past that

[Rob @nokomisrob]

@Harkmagic @HabCorpLinguist That's quite a confident answer considering it took the courts decades and several new conservative justices to get to that conclusion.
