The two counties he is targeting to trash votes from are so democratic they were featured on the national news the night of the presidential election. Also historically they always vote overwhelmingly democratic.
A North Carolina appeals court heard state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin's (R) bid to throw out 65k ballots and overturn the results of his losing election.
“Now the right to vote is not absolute,” Griffin's lawyer said in court.

Are we great again yet? I hope EU opens paths for researchers to move, but this will still be decades of setbacks. And treatments won’t be available in the US until much later once made, if at all, looking at who will be in charge and how few people will be left in the agencies.

Harriet Tubman dedicated her life to abolitionism, leading 70 enslaved women & families to freedom.
She was also the first woman in the U.S. to plan & lead a military raid.
On Harriet Tubman Day, we honor her by continuing the fight for freedom & equal rights for all.

Mario has been in my life a long time. The very first video game I EVER played was Super Mario Bros on NES. I cherish those memories.
Sonic, Link, Solid Snake, Master Chief, etc. So many characters I've come to love over the years.
But Mario holds a special place for me forever.
Happy Mario Day!

It’s weird to pick apart the past now. How about we look at the dems who were elected that keep sitting on their hands? They need a fire lit under them. Walz did ok - still a great governor. What is next? Taylor Swift didn’t do enough? Everyone expected more from her too. I love TS - don’t /1
A Harris campaign aide said that Walz got put “in a box,” and “we didn’t use him the way we could’ve.” Walz for his part says the campaign played it too safe.

2. Keep it up to make the full 40 days.
JUST IN: Target boycot is working, their store traffic fell 10% & stock fell -22% in the last 6 months.
Target is also facing 40-day boycott starting today, over company’s shift away from DEI policies.

Tariffs might be Trump’s favorite word. To legendary investor Warren Buffett, there’s less to be excited about.
“Tariffs are actually — we’ve had a lot of experience with them — they’re an act of war, to some degree,” Buffett said. They serve as a tax on goods and could raise prices for consumers.

Long before modern computers, Ada Lovelace foresaw a future where machines could compose music and create art.
Born in London in 1815, she was the child of poet Lord Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke. Despite her father’s fame, her mother emphasized a rigorous education in mathematics. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)
