the villain in my bedtime stories was always the President of the Homeowner’s Association and I was sooooo confused when no one else had heard of him
BREAKING: 5th Cir. upholds Texas having only one ballot drop box per county.
Implausibly, the court finds that the Tex. Gov's decision *expands* the right to vote instead of *restricts* it.
Up is down.
Here is the opinion:
@sammynickalls
he has learned to speak both my love language (smothering snuggles, kisses, constant hugs) and my boyfriend’s (calm quiet mellow companionship) and adjusts depending on who he is with!!
A fun side effect of gerrymandering is that all of these Republicans haven't had to make any actual sense in years to get elected, so they look like absolute clowns in this mainstream space
This is one of the most irresponsible things I’ve ever seen.
Apparently Politico is too busy shoving a mass casualty event into a horserace narrative to notice the blood on Ron DeSantis’s hands.
The only thing this man should win is a DOJ investigation of his colossal failures.
regular person: so what brings you to town?
me on literally any advance trip: Work!!! I MEAN UH, TOURISM…? NATURE? YOUR LOCAL ARBY’S, I HAD TO SEE IT! I AM NOT A SPY

Mayor of Dayton Nan Whaley: "I've heard that [President Trump's] coming Wednesday but I have not gotten a call. And you know he might be going to Toledo, I don't know."

just told reporters that her campaign--as is standard practice--FOIA'd her own personnel files in Dec. 2017... and they're still waiting for the response. Meanwhile, the GOP-backed group sought and received her (non-FOIA-able) unredacted SF-86 within 3 weeks. 🤔
If Ron DeSantis cried all day every day for the rest of his life, it wouldn’t come close to atoning for the damage he’s personally done to thousands of Floridians who’ve lost loved ones due to his malicious COVID inaction.
DeSantis visibly choked up at nursing home roundtable in Jacksonville, talking about visitation + people who want to say goodbye to dying loved ones.
"It's difficult to think that some of our actions ..." he trails off.
We don't see shows of emotion from this governor often.
LIVE: Jared Kushner, the US president's son-in-law, senior adviser and top official overseeing US effort in Middle East peace, delivers speech at Jerusalem embassy opening.
Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.
I did a Career Day zoom for some middle schoolers and asked if they knew what this plane was.
I said, “HINT — it’s also a sneaker!”
One kid immediately jumps in:
“ADDIDAS!!!”
Adidas Force One, y’all
Bowser addressing protests and latest on coronavirus response. She is ordering another curfew tonight effective 7 pm: “We will not allow the continued destruction of our hometown.”
I know a tier 3 presidential candidate dropping out is exciting news on twitter dot com but plz don't forget that last night an ICE guard drove a truck into peaceful protesters, broke someone's leg, and the cops' response was to pepper spray the protesters
Just spent a whole flight plotting how to tell

I've seen some progressive, truly life-changing legislation filed in Virginia from some "not-ready-for-primetime" candidates who romped "safe" GOP incumbents, so SPARE ME, strategists
DC Councilmember Brooke Pinto, who is flush with campaign cash from her parents, is trying to hire a FULL-TIME Field Director for a salary of $2400 A MONTH!!!! ($28k/year) IN DC!!!!!
Very grateful for the hard work of my (extremely low-profile) colleagues who pulled off the impossible and sanctioned Russia’s two largest banks today, coordinated with allies and partners on a constellation of concurrent actions, and delivered an unmistakeable message to Putin.
ok not only is it crazy that there are hundreds of people here for

btw if you’re angry at the judge who sentenced Manafort, just wait for every case ever for the rest of our lives bc Mitch McConnell stole the judiciary
Thanks so much for our amazing new park setup,

😍😍😍 I love walking by as I find somewhere else to sit and eat my lunch; it reminds me that nearby homeowners’ property values are safe from the sight of unhoused neighbors. ❤️❤️
Andrew Gillum is everything right about politics. Working for him on this crazy inspiring sleepless hopeful unforgettable campaign was one of the best decisions of my life.
There’s a lot to fix in our broken system, but good news is there’s lot of amazing people in this fight.

Bill Nelson gave me my first-ever internship in politics. You could say it kinda changed my life.
Any young Floridian women out there who want an internship in Democratic politics: hit me up. I wanna pay it forward and help however I can. ❤️
Palm Beach doctors + nurses are outside St. Mary’s today to call out Ron DeSantis for refusing to share a healthcare plan 3 weeks to the election.
Mayor Gillum’s plan is clear: Medicaid expansion. Protecting Medicare. Making sure pre-existing conditions are covered.

Sorry, what healthcare materials were you citing,
@RonDeSantisFL
? Was it your healthcare plan?
Ah, no. Of course not. You don't have one.

@MarkWarner
just dropped a cryptic bomb on the press corps. Stops at the mics and said he said for two years the Russia investigation is most important thing he will do in congress, after today still believes it, then walks off. What??
every time I work in a different state I’m like “ok so what is your version of VPAP” and they’re like “uh, nothing” and then I’m like “ok HOW DO U KNOW ANYTHING THEN” and they’re like “well, we don’t”
As of noon, Virginia Beach reports 54,050 ballots cast - or 17.9% turnout. There are no noon comparisons for 2017 or 2015. But in 2015, Virginia Beach had a final turnout of 22.1%

Every so often I think about how strange it is that The Dixie Chicks suffered greater career punishment for being right about the Iraq War
than any pundit or politician did for being wrong on it...
