@mkraju Catherine Cortez Masto has not held a town hall in Vegas in at least five years. I've been calling for a year asking when she will hold her next one and have always been told that she "Doesn't have one on the schedule".
there are so many appeals to weightlifting but one of them has to be "you can listen to the music you listened to in high school while doing something that is extremely hard but rewarding and you can do all of this while enjoying your own company"
Update on the woman with a feeding tube who had her formula all the sudden be excluded from being covered by her health insurance company
Blue Cross Blue Shield has since sent notices to customers saying their $800 to $1,500 a month cost for the formula will no longer be covered
“Many people who have been tube fed for the last five, six years got a notice this year saying that they will no longer cover it. Even though it has been covered for the last however many years
They say it's just food, but on the bottle it says under use of medical supervision only. This is prescribed food by a doctor. And for many of us there's no other options — it cost me $1200 a month. I pay them $300 a month already to cover my sh*t — They’re trying to kill us”
@emptywheel I live in Clark County and voted in person today. Very anecdotal but my polling place had the longest line I've ever seen (I've gone there for the last three presidential elections) and there were way more young people than I'd ever seen before.
@RN_Atheist Thank you. I'm listening to the office douche bag right now telling everyone there is no point in voting and it makes me want to strangle him. Exercise your Constitutional Right!!
As a historian who has spent months in the National Archives, I say (not lightly) this U.S. Archivist should b fired. The National Archives should b concerned w/preserving & presenting the truth--nothing else. This is what historian @TimothyDSnyder calls "anticipatory obedience."
i'd vaguely heard about the US election in 2000 actually being "stolen" and i looked it up and it seems consensus is
- the entire US election came down to florida
- the difference in votes was <0.1%, not statistically significant
- polling machine had hardware issues way higher than <0.1%
- florida could have decided to actually and properly hand count the votes
- the state's highest supreme court decided to do that
- bush asked the supreme court to intervene in a state's free & independent ability to run its own elections
- the voting was exactly on partisan lines: the 5 republican judges declared bush the winner
- they cited reasoning that competes for one of the most transparently dishonest rulings of all time
- the single most comprehensive study after the fact found that if the votes had been properly counted, gore would have won
- this is not factoring in a calculated, well-documented attempt by republican governor of florida to suppress thousands of votes, in black counties for al gore, by the official US election commission
"If you abdicate the obligations of leadership in this moment and the thing you fear comes to pass, you will regret having stood down when the country needed you to stand up. You will regret it for all of your days." Five days to decide.

Mike Johnson’s “No Obamacare” promise is starting to break through, as seen here on CNN.
The more viral Johnson’s comment goes, the more coverage it will get.
Keep blasting it out.

This guy opens the door & in he is very much like a "tough-guy Slav." Burly; surly; big. Opens door & says, "WHAT? Why you want to know my vote?" We say we're w/ the Harris campaign. He says, "Oh. It's taken care of. You"--he points to me--"Me"--hits chest hard--"Same side."
