We will all sit together.

Minneapolis is peacefully, protesting by the thousands in frigid temps! 🔥🔥🔥 #AbolishICE

Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

This Olivia Nuzzi - Mark Sanford drama is really something... sounds like they all suck so I'm just rolling with it.

To clarify for folks asking questions. There are: 1. 1,463 accepted ballots left to count and 2. 1,540 signature challenges to resolve. #2 will almost certainly increase Wilson's lead. Harrell would have to get close to 100% of #1, plus a bare majority of trickle-in mail. The race is over.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

JUST IN: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayoral race. Stay tuned for details on today's count.

Seattle! DROP OFF (ideally) or MAIL YOUR BALLOTS TODAY! Tomorrow may not count! "The U.S. Postal Service may not postmark returned ballots on the day they’re first collected"

"[F]or the roughly 100 male veterans who are newly diagnosed each year... [t]hey will have to show their cancer was connected to their military service, a burden that has often been hard to meet." The "biological truth" is that men *can* develop breast cancer.

Trump could feed hungry families if he wanted to. He is CHOOSING not to and instead using them as a bargaining chip. Come Saturday, when families find out their food stamps have been taken away, they’ll know who to blame.
