A truly miserable 48 hours. On one hand, it's great this has a spotlight. But the sad reality: I was likely too late reaching these voters, had no real advice to offer and my reporting may very well be too late for those who've been wrongly labeled as "never residents." #ncpol

Whatever your politics, whatever your party, there ought to be one clear takeaway from this mess: Everyone deserves to know if their vote is being challenged. And if a voter did cast a legitimate vote, it ought to, at bare minimum, get reviewed before being discarded. #ncpol

The first Pope who will damn you to hell for putting ketchup on a hot dog

All these articles about the new pope and not one telling me if he’s a Cubs fan or not…

Translation: He has eaten our dogs #chicagopope

This kind of shit is how you KNOW the government isn’t hiding aliens from us

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

And it all points in the same direction:

Watching Republican/right wing influencers attempt to manipulate a narrative and the algorithm participate is maddening. This will further divide us, but not right vs left, the battle is those who believe in fact vs fiction.

Statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark: "The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else.”

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

First they came for abortion. Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care. The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood. Let’s be real: this ain’t about “protecting life.” It’s about weaponizing poverty

Lawmakers were assassinated and wounded by a right-wing, religious extremist pretending to be a police officer and yet this story has completely faded from the national media.

Whether you agree with the ruling or not, one thing has become very clear over the past few decades and much more so the past 6 months: one branch of government is quickly accumulating power and the other two are forfeiting their own.

Would be cool if instead of unconditional surrender these guys would use their power to beat back the forces that have so degraded the institutions they took an oath to protect.

JD Vance thinks ripping health care away from 17 million people is immaterial. Slapping a new tax on wind and solar that will increase energy costs up to 20% is immaterial. Exploding our debt by giving rich people a trillion dollar tax cut is immaterial. He's a liar or a fool.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else

Pro-tip to any GOP who think this should sway them: Those things were left out of this bill for a reason. Leadership does NOT know your community. YOU do. Their job is to psychologically isolate you & apply ungodly amounts of pressure. YOUR job is to stand up for your people.

The Biden administration was so smart and crafty they were seemingly able to do everything but win a reelection
