You had me suspicious at "Terry McAuliffe".

Yeah, good point. This was an issue I worked on under some Ds- even Kaine- who didn't make the same push and was noting the change in the party. But many of the gains were made under McAuliffe and Northam.

Important to note that this wasn't always even the Republican position. Bob McDonnell did a lot to advance felony voting rights in Virginia.

Like, people overlooking terrible things to gain power or for their pocket book is disgusting but I get the psychology. But this? Musk is just a person and one who is clearly becoming worse and worse at his job. Why the worship?

True story: my husband worked with a contractor who was a retired postal inspector. Turned out he'd helped catch the unabomber. Because part of what brought him down was sending those things through the US Mail.

90% of political coverage should be telling voters what Ds and Rs do when they wield power.

Yes Dems can be feckless and performative but if you're a low-information voter who likes it when poor kids eat, you should just vote Dem and not overthink it. Pundits are weirdly allergic to saying this.

I think people also don't understand that things still cost money if you're not getting paid? I'm the the DC region and there are people who can't afford gas or transit fare for the job they're not getting paid to do, soooo......

Just did my annual road trip cracker barrel stop with the kids and the hashbrown casserole, pancakes, and cream soda were still top notch. Got the kids the obligatory candy sticks on the way out.
