A bittersweet night with Kamala Harris for an early Hanukkah celebration. We’ve been so fortunate to have her leadership these last four years.

I’m quoted in this Snopes article as the source of the accurate claim that Hegseth published an article claiming sex with an unconscious woman isn’t rape.
But Snopes describes me as “X User Judd Legum”

Since Republicans are threatening to withhold funds from Blue states for various reasons, we should have a legal mechanism/movement to encourage these same Blue states to withhold monies from ever reaching the feds.

Trump appoints loyal but grossly unqualified lieutenants because as well as showing his contempt for institutions, he knows these people will never outshine him. None is expert enough to contradict, or competent enough to earn credit. That’s what matters.

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

Does someone know how often states split their presidential and senate votes?
It seems curious to me how many swing states split their vote.
