Montgomery County, PA, a Blue County except the Western Suburbs. Hundreds of municipal elections were held. Each precinct has 2 of their own elections, judge and inspector of election. In head to head races, only 14 Republicans won. 9 were in precinct elections. Turn out was as high as 71%

In my Republican heavy township, not one damn Republican won. Turn out was over 50%. People are pissed.

But I voted YES, I’m in favor of a national Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day. I’m so courageous. I spout bullshit to make you think I care. Then I vote against you. I’m only here for the photo ops. Don’t expect me to do something. I’m Do Nothing Dean.

Not surprising. The American Catholic Church hates women. They hate the LGBTQIA. And they electioneered for 47.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

I voted against Republicans' partisan CR.
Between their Big Ugly Bill & their refusal to extend ACA subsidies, Republicans are gutting health care for millions of Americans.

National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.
Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.

Once upon a time, I was proud to have Shapiro as governor. Then, he turned his back on women, POC and the Gay Community, those who voted for him, by honoring CK by lowering the flag to half mast, the same man who denigrated all those groups. At least I still have Will Bunch and the Inquirer.

Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD
LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade
Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.
