OW has immerse influence. Legitimizing "John of God," Dr. Phil, and Dr. Oz -- rather than thoroughly vetting them -- is not a good look. She's not responsible for their behavior; I never suggested otherwise. She is, however, responsible for who she chooses to celebrate given her public position.

Virtually no push-back from the interviewer. No mention of previous reviews showing NO foul play in GA what so ever. Hence, a tacit affirmation of the congressperson's nonsense.

Mail-in ballots tend to be more Democratic, and take more time to count than (Republican-oriented) electronic intake.
As such, tight races tend to shift from Reps to Dems as the count progresses. There's nothing "magical" happening at all.
Johnson knows the pattern, but he's a disingenuous asshat.

Great thread..(thanks, Nathan, et. al.) I've always had the sense that the terms used for undocumented people rarely illuminate the nuance of the actual struggle to become citizens. I believe Aviva Chomsky is a good resource; others?

Bruce Springsteen just dedicated his song "The Promised Land" to the memory of Renee Good. But yeah -- he's the exception.
