“What we saw in that Senate today was a cowardly group of Republicans who apparently have no options, because they were afraid to defend their job, respect the institution in which they serve.” — Speaker Pelosi He can order Pence’s death and they’ll still support him. Trump is like Putin. Each...
I’m not going to get my hopes up for this. Mitch McConnell has done the right thing exactly once in his 200 or so years on this planet. Of course, that was when he rebuked his fellow members of Congress on Jan. 6 for vowing to challenge the electors in...
Desperation and unhingery on the way to the bunker. “Shoo fly don’t bother me”. x Inside the White House, Trump is lashing out, and everyone is in the blast zone. At this point, if officials aren't in the “use DHS or the military to impound voting machines” camp, the president...
This had to happen, because I have not laughed nearly enough about Trump’s feckless fraud fucknuttery quite yet. They found fraud! Near Philly! A fake vote for … Donald Trump! x Is this our first documented case of an actual ballot cast in the name of a verified dead person in the...

No question, the November election is shaping up to be a unique one. Between the pandemic, the sabotage of the Postal Service (and have you thanked a postal employee today? I have), the fear of longer lines at the fewer polling places, lots and lots of voters are planning to...
From Westword: During recent interviews, Gardner has said positive things about the way Colorado has conducted mail-in voting, and he did so again, more or less, during a forum not meant for public consumption: an August 5 telephone fundraiser. But in a transcript from the event obtained by Westword, he also sought to...
Lisa Rein has a good piece in The Washington Post about Montana’s history of split-ticket voting could be the key factor in helping Governor Steve Bullock (D. MT) defeat U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R. MT): Montanans, stubbornly independent, like to split tickets. And Bullock, a lawyer who narrowly won reelection...
Received this e-mail from John Hickenlooper’s (D. CO) U.S. Senate campaign: Hello, On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law banning racial discrimination at the ballot box.

Considering his long-time support of the Chicago Cubs, Will was a typical conservative. He remains so. But this is something, something. Will predicts a Biden landslide. As Trump says, “we’ll see”. GOTV. The measures necessary for restoration of national equilibrium are many and will be protracted far beyond (Trump’s) removal....
Received this e-mail today from Jon Ossoff’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: Last week's election in Georgia proved Republican officials will do anything to suppress the Constitutional rights of black voters in America. Georgia's voting system is set up to fail by design in minority communities, and this is a...
Donald Trump sees fraud everywhere because he is, at root, a fraud. Cheaters always suspect their significant others of cheating. Thieves worry about getting ripped off. Con men think everyone else is a grifter, too. Liars think no one in the universe is fundamentally honest. This is just how psychopaths roll....
We already know why Donald Trump hates the idea of mail-in voting. If citizens can easily exercise their right to vote, Republicans won’t do so well. That’s why the GOP is the voter-suppression party. Voter ID is one method they’ve used to tamp down participation. Another recent (failed) tactic was forcing...
As a native Wisconsinite who’s fled that Trumpian wasteland for greener pastures on the Left Coast, I can attest that Badgers don’t need much of an excuse to hit the bars. Do people in wedding parties go bar-hopping between the ceremony and the reception in other states? Do they? Well,...
Howard Stern knows Donald Trump about as well as anyone can. Trump appeared on Stern’s radio show numerous times and never failed to make an ass out of himself. Whether it was agreeing that his own daughter was a “piece of ass” or insisting he could do math when he couldn’t,...
Received this e-mail today from State Auditor Nicole Galloway’s (D. MO) gubernatorial campaign: This is simple — Missourians should be able to vote without putting their lives at risk. It shouldn't be a partisan issue. We need an order to allow no-excuse absentee and early voting. And we need it...
Received this e-mail today from Mike Espy’s (D. MS) U.S. Senate campaign: What happened in Wisconsin this week was a disgrace to our democracy. In case you missed it, voters were forced to vote in person on Tuesday after the governor’s executive order to reschedule the primary election was overturned...
Expanding our voting-by-mail procedures is an absolute imperative and a moral no-brainer in the midst of a national pandemic. Â I also am completely unsurprised that President Trump and federal and state Republican leaders are increasingly not just opposing such a common-sense measure, but demonizing it and falsely associating it with...

She’s not fooling anyone: During an April 2 tele-town hall, Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) lied about supporting protections for people with preexisting medical conditions.

Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America: Whether you live in South Carolina or not, you can still vote for your Presidential candidate today and help them win the DFA 2020 endorsement. Bernie and Warren are crushing everyone else so far, but only you can decide who wins and...
Why would right-leaning independents cast votes for Democratic candidates, especially moderates. In what ways will the Trump speech tonight in NH appeal to tactical voting as it resembles other unhinged Trump speeches that have now featured less difference between those made in the WH East room or the SOTU. “Never Trump”...

Philip Bump at WaPo decided to look at voters who disliked Trump and Clinton in 2016 and compared that group with those disliking Trump and Biden in 2020. Correlation remains not identical to causation yet again. The thing is, voters who don’t vote and those who seek other candidates is...
