It’s really great to be able to drop your ballot in a mailbox and 24 hours later get both an email and a text confirming it was received. The sort of voting efficiency the GOP loathes.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

My library is doing a Stephen King Halloween Bookclub. It’s a book of short stories called “You Like It Darker” that I know nothing about, yet. #booksky
