the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.

Many moons ago, when I was displaced in Chicago, I dreamed about the day I’d finally be put in charge of plate tectonics, with plans to rearrange the midsection of the country so N.O. & Chicago were closer together by eliminating MO, northern LA & southern IL. Glad to see others thinking similarly!

Youngkin stopped automatically restoring the voting rights of people who lost it over a conviction.
And, we now know, he oversaw an illegal purge of people from voter rolls who hadn’t even lost their rights!
All to thump his chest as tough on crime for elections.

A coalition of activists has now reached 89,000 people to inform them and help them register them to vote — nearly 60% of those affected. boltsmag.org/kentucky-vot...

I really love this new trend where terrible people from New Orleans (Michael Lewis, Walter Isaacson) write about terrible people destroying our world (Sam Bankman-Fried, Elon Musk.) New Orleans finally gets to participate in wealth-building! For those two dudes! Late-stage capitalism is so fun!!

McCarthy won't do this because he believes that as soon as he cooperates with Dems, he will lose his position. And his position is more important to him than shutting down the government
For all the frustration and griping by House Republicans, their problem only persists because right now 100% of them prefer to cater to their hardliners than work with Democrats. If a handful of Republicans signed a discharge petition, they could easily fund gov’t.

Democrats challenge 'MIA' GOP centrists to team up and keep the government open
Democrats say a handful of "missing in action" Republicans can join their "discharge petition" to end-run Speaker McCarthy and force a vote on a short-term funding bill.

By refusing to bring the bipartisan, Senate-negotiated CR to the floor, Speaker McCarthy shows that he prioritizes his own powerful job over the state of the nation. That’s not how public service should work.

Here’s the thing—you don’t want to work. None of us really do. We want hobbies, passions, things that drive & excite us that aren’t tied to salary, sustenance. Banging on the drum all day seems appealing. But you ALSO don’t want to play so, now, I’m concerned. Feels compulsive, obsessive, unhealthy

Yep—my grammar school/high school teachers were radical leftist nuns.
I think people need to read up on old-school social-justice Catholic Democrats so they won't continue to be surprised at who Joe Biden is. Go read about Dorothy Day, will you please?

Make sure everyone you know checks their registration
Also a good day to remember registration is unnecessary and voter suppression.
Republicans know this because North Dakota hasn't had registration since 1951. And you never hear them complain about it.
