Tighter rules around envelope errors and voting assistance will disenfranchise scores of North Carolina voters, pro-voting groups argue. The state board skirted legislative review and ignored public dissent to pass new rules — the same day ballots were sent out: https://demdock.com/4dPzchy

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Can't be said enough: In her 29+ years in the Senate, Susan Collins has NEVER cast a tie-breaking vote against a GOP nominee. She's cast dozens of tie-breaking votes FOR Republican nominees and bills. Are we supposed to believe this is some sort of statistical quirk or anomaly? #MEpolitics

As a reminder, Bo French didn't attend the University of Texas, but -- in his role as a white man -- he thinks he gets to complain about the demographics of actual students who do attend classes there. White guys own everything, you see.

The time for burying our heads in the sand is over. If the people working directly on these technologies are saying this, it’s time to pump the brakes.   We can’t let these massive AI companies literally gamble with the future of humanity.
