I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

This is insane! I live in Denton county and we do not have voting centers on election day. Hundreds of voters show up at the wrong polling location and we have to direct them to the right one. Dallas County has voting centers on ED but now the GOP wants to change that plus manually count ballots!

The decision will make Dallas County the largest jurisdiction in the U.S. where ballots are hand-counted. Voters will still be able to vote at any countywide vote center during early voting.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
