Who did the republicans call? Rudy? Sidney Powell? Could Mike Lindell get away from his Fail-a-thon to testify? I mean, this is their big chance to get "all the evidence" into the congressional record. Did they waste it?

Sadly, she couldn't deliver Georgia from Kemp.

YES!

If Republicans actually believed that the free sustenance swayed voters, there would already be GOP brand water and snacks, and they'd be working to make sure their friends got the first dibs on concession stands.

Nope, the whole idea is to make the waiting as uncomfortable as possible. How that waiting somehow managed to become normalized is a serious sleight of hand on their part.

Are these Republicans intentionally disrespecting Stacy Abrams?

Fair Fight is taking the battle national, which means that we should all support them in whatever way we can. There will be volunteer opportunities this summer.

The "prosperity of the present" is the stock market. The investor class is going great guns.

I think it was Robert Reich who pointed out that the billionaires could entirely fund Biden's infrastructure deal and come out with as much money as they had before the pandemic.

Sadly, I had to work all day, so I saw none of it.

I don't know about Georgia, but, in my state, the final authority to conduct the election rests in the Secretary of State, and that authority is mandated by the state constitution. A provision like the one in the Georgia law would have to be done here as a constitutional amendment.

Someone pointed out that the requirement to fully staff polling places from 9-5 (or whatever) actually works against voting, because some places don't need to be open the full 8 hours and/or don't have enough people to do so, so those places end up closed and consolidated elsewhere.

No. Who wrote his speech, do you think?

OT - I would much rather be watching this right now

had to listen to former Chinese political prisoners talk about their experiences before receiving refugee status from the US this morning. that's going to cause some nightmares.

we also heard about "BUT MY 10th AMENDMENT SHALL NOT BE UNFRINGED!" and Ed Heimlich decided this was one of the bills to demand $1.8 million on "or there are no laws".
