Cenk is such an asshole. Man, I hate him. Check out this article from The Detroit News: Rabbis urge Abdul El-Sayed to condemn ads, citing antisemitism www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
So his passports were canceled after he ignored a Supreme Court order to surrender them, due to a corruption indictment. Somehow, he snuck out of the country and he’s likely hiding in Florida. apple.news/AOsoBuxiXR-O...
Chris concedes that the votes aren’t there so there’s no sense responding with that. But I wonder what anyone expects the effect of failing to convict him in the Senate once again would be. Harris isn’t saying not to use the investigative arm of Congress to investigate.
JFC. Did no one tell her what the Trump administration is trying to do to California, literally as they spoke?

Holy crap, it just occurred to me: Vucic losing in Serbia may not only end the deals Jr & Eric (& Lewandowski)* made in Serbia, it may _expose_ them. *I’m not sure but I think Javanka got in on those deals.
I’d say Trump isn’t as good at influencing foreign elections as Putin, but I dunno, the Serbia results are a huge defeat for Putin. He’s lost both Orban & Vucic in a year.

Last night when I saw this, I was a little too tired to explain why I think this is bullshit. June 3, 1993, the year Evan was born, Kansas City Missouri passed an ordinance that provided workplace protections to LGBTQ+ people. I was involved in getting that ordinance passed.
Now, look, on a certain level there's a likelihood to this, right? We're probably going to have to spend 20 years fighting Democrats to restore what we've lost, whether that's trans rights, immigrant rights, voting rights for Southern Black communities.

Somebody posted a snarky quote of this just now and was complaining about gender-affirming care being affected because of Republicans messing with federal health funding, but acted like it was Democrats’ fault. Easy detach and block.
A map of US states where trans rights are protected is just a map of US states where Democrats are in control. But saying that doesn’t keep people terrified and paying for newsletter subscriptions to learn more, so certain influencers have to lie about it.

In August, @liberalcurrents asserted that my brain had been "[microwaved]" by the internet b/c I questioned polling accuracy/transparency & the motivations of some individuals. Here is 1) the passage from LibCurrents & 2) the tweets they linked to. My brain doesn't seem so microwaved now, does it?
As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"
