Washington Redwolves would look, sound, & feel like the Washington football & NFCE brand that existed for decades, bridge the gap between old and new, be endlessly marketable to fans, players, coaches, & staff & would instantly be one of the coolest brands in the NFL @Commanders
@baseballcrank Also 4) the President of the United States of America isn’t claiming that the Maine primary elections are fraudulent. Just a minor factor.
The worst thing about lying about election results — “It was rigged!” — is that lots of people, in their innocence or gullibility, believe you, even if you know better and are just playing politics. Lies about elections weaken our democracy. Which I suppose is the point.
California hasn’t finished counting primary ballots days after polls closed. Slow results breed distrust and fuel election denialism. Governor Newsom blames election workers, but the real fix is policy: more funding, expanded early voting, and ending late-arriving mail ballots, writes Cato’s @stephen_richer.

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan.
Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you.
It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time.
This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites.
Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.
