True: My town is mired in unseemly machinations in which the GOP allegedly got an 83yo w/limited English on the ballot on a third-party line, w/out her knowledge, as a town supervisor candidate (votes for her threw the election to the GOP)
Also true: The Karate Kid is doing my town’s tree lighting

They sneaked in a ghost Working Families Psrty candidate to bleed votes from Dems. She was never present at debates, no profile pic, nothing. But got 1,500 votes. The Dem lost by about 600.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

To illustrate how fucked things are here on Long Island, GOPers in Huntington allegedly raided the Working Families Party line by gathering petitions and installing fake ghost candidates, which siphoned off votes for the Dem candidates (many of us vote for the Dem candidates but on the WFP line)

Pretty stoked for this, because what I really need right now is some achingly sad Rhea Seehorn
One of the best shows in forever—achingly sad, hugely entertaining, and really REALLY thoughtful about important things like … the value of humanity. Really! And I gave away as little as I possibly could—almost nothing that’s not in the very opaque trailer.
In 'Pluribus,' isolation is the price of a frictionless life
The haunting new show from Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is set in Gilligan's now-signature location, Albuquerque.

reeling at the idea that trump is using an example of people who pay by check at the grocery store in 2025. if you freaky fridayed him into a normal person's life he would starve to death in a week.
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."
