Check your ballot. It’s possible that it’s been challenged due to leaving the ballot envelope unsigned or a signature mismatch. You can cure that with King County Elections so your ballot is counted! kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

Massive Russian overnight strikes hit Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Mykolaiv. Power infrastructure was targeted, causing blackouts and fires. A woman was killed and dozens injured. Emergency outages are now in place across several regions.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Exactly. I'm for the city of nope. We have a housing crisis. Being development shills isn't the answer. I've watched the city I grew up in be destroyed by luxury apartment developers. we don't need the pretense of affordable housing for apartments no one can afford.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Earlier this week, ICE grabbed another Russian dissident, in this case a decolonization activist from the Buryat community. If his case goes the way of Artyom Vovchenko and Leonid Melekhin, he could soon be deported and left to rot in a Russian prison. meduza.io/en/brief/202...

We’ve known for forever that they don’t think gendered violence is a really serious thing but it’s still wild to hear them say it so plainly.
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I was at this debate. The Seattle Times is totally misrepresenting what happened to further the false narrative that Katie Wilson is a nitwit. Wilson was talking about the fact that the CARE team has not been allowed to exercise "its full latitude of responsibility" under the existing contract.

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Is Trump going to have Americans extrajudicially executed in their homes?
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
