this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

I’m skeptical about that letter Epstein supposedly attempted to send to Larry Nasser, and I’m worried that if it turns out to be fake, it’ll be used to discredit + undermine otherwise credible evidence. Can we all pump the brakes on it until it’s verified by a handwriting expert?

The wide ranging disclosures of documents involving Bill Clinton should put to rest any arguments by the DOJ that they can’t release docs involving people under investigation, since Clinton is one of the figures whom Bondi, kissing up to Trump, ordered be the subject of a new investigation.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.
Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

When trump is drowning in his own fails, he knows he can always fall back on his racist impulses to distract his base from his failing economy.
Telling a member of Congress "go back to your country" is ugly and inexcusable.

She is one of the minyan of people who could literally end almost all of this tomorrow. I’m sorry, she doesn’t get any points anymore, at this late date, for basic ante-level stuff like this. Do something already.
Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.

Two weeks later & still total 🦗🦗 from the Pundits about how Republicans Must Do An Abundance of Popularism
It’s been days. Has Ezra Douthglesias written yet about how Republicans have alienated the median voter with stuff like trying to starve people & must instead Do An Abundance Of Popularism? 👇 looks like the exact opposite of the thing Democrats Must Do & yet it seems like total 🦗🦗 from the Pundits.
I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.
