Louisiana candidate filing closed today and the Democrats got a candidate in all six Congressional districts. The GOP did not get a candidate in
#LA02
(Harris+32), making it the 2nd congressional district that the GOP have failed to contest this year. The Dems have not let any go uncontested yet.

*rubs temples* As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but... The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now. the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

FWIW I've had flight attendants tell me to leave trash in the seat-back pocket when I'd missed their last trash sweep. I didn't, mind you; I packed it out with me instead. But it was surprising to hear.

“In the video and audio reviewed by The Post, at no point does Lemon appear to obstruct the pastor’s movement.” The indictment claims Lemon “physically obstructed” congregants as they tried to leave. The video in fact “shows Lemon holding the door for people who are leaving.”

That's a wrap for this one. 119 reposts, $216 in donations to match, and 32 Senator/House rep calls (I decided to count calling all three as $30) = $655. Rounded that up to $750. Receipt for the balance attached. Thank you all so much, and special thanks to everyone who donated/phoned. More TK.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm curious about what would have happened if Bezos had died from sexual misadventure in the window between him negatively polarizing Mackenzie Scott against billionaires and their divorce settlement cutting her out of the rest of his estate.

POTUS is hitting a new all-time low every day recently, with (dis)approval of Trump's handling of immigration overall converging on his handling of deportations, which has been underwater since last April

ICE is moving forward with its plan to convert an abandoned warehouse located in Chester, NY into a detention facility. New Yorkers have seen the appalling, inhumane conditions of ICE's mass detention camps and their response couldn't be more clear: ICE and its cruelty have no place in New York.
