Doing a little early-voting precinct-by-precinct # crunching. Will dump it on you tomorrow. But my early conclusion is: the lower-income south side wards, especially Ward 6 & Ward 9, are doing a bang-up job early voting. Precincts with Somali-Minnesotans already voted 2x last midterm’s early vote.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

$13.1 million and counting. That’s how much money Trump megadonor and Wisconsin billionaire Richard Uihlein has poured into a PAC to prop up Lisa Demuth’s campaign. His money is directly contributing to lying campaign ads and misleading attacks.

ilhan omar says somalis are not people to mess with. they immediately began making fun of trump’s attempt to demonize them. “our lack of fear is also rooted in our faith and understanding we don’t EVER get to be bullied by anyone.”

Another layer where LaMelo Ball helps Minnesota, vs. switches. Cavs switch Mobley on to him, drives and kicks to McDaniels. Pops right back to 3 to get it, beats Mobley on the drive. Opens the kick to McDaniels who scores.

If the WNBA/NBA cant guarantee that the finals will be able to be played in primetime at the teams preferred location starting next season, why are we expanding the season deeper into the NBA season when it goes to 50 games?

To all Democrats in Congress who want to give Trump an "opportunity to save face" via not impeaching him again...please stop being stupid. He will never stop until you fight back with all you've got.

7/ What happens if we lose elimination status? In practice, we won’t notice the official change in status on the ground. What we will see is more outbreaks, more illnesses, and more hospitalizations for kids.

1/ If we need another sign the U.S. is going backward in health, here it is. Measles cases in the U.S. have now topped 4,500 this year, which is the highest annual case count since 1991. Cases are still climbing, so let's break down what’s happening and what comes next. 🧵

Demuth has been noun verb fraud for about 18 months now. Not sure what she will be able to talk about after November 3.

If work from home had been a thing then, Sen. Mark Dayton wouldn't have taken so much criticism for shutting down his DC office.

The anthrax attacks post 9-11 are forgotten today, but they contributed massively to the vibes that things were out of control.

This is not a joke, this is a real proposal! Surely, with all the surveillance and targeted ads being done in America, this is possible. And early voter turnout would SKYROCKET.

1. A group formed last week called “Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin” is attacking David Crowley, the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, with hundreds of thousands in attack mailers. A Popular Information investigation has linked the effort to GOP operatives.

From our early days on the campaign until now, just a week before the election, young people have been so important to our campaign. Thank you to all those on college campuses who have welcomed us for door knocks and game nights. Relationships matter!

Meanwhile Lisa Demuth and the MNGOP opposed requests to increase the state Attorney General’s Office budget so they could prosecute fraud cases.

This is 100% a WNBA leadership problem and has nothing to do with the Hawks or Cavs. The WNBA could have seen this coming and looked into potential solutions rather than waiting to see if a Game 6 would even occur.

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

Affirmative action on newspaper editorial pages has long meant conservatives are fluffed & get innumerable chances. Hell, Mark Thiessen is an Iraq War war criminal and the Washington Post gobbled him right up.

Margin of Terror@randballsstu.bsky.social

The same guy who endorsed tafoya in the strib today wrote that "70 percent of the teams in the NBA could fold tomorrow and nobody would notice a difference with the possible exception of increase in street crime." He's considered a moderate.
