Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Probably one of my bigger pet peeves is when something bad is happening here in the US (which yes, daily) and someone says “we” being collectively us. Let me be crystal clear: everything happening in this country currently ain’t got SHIT to do with me! I didn’t vote for this. ANY of the 3 times!
