We're gonna need a complete teardown of the media, same as with the ballroom. And I say this as someone who has been part of that machine for many years. It's moldy all the way through. We have some wonderful independent pubs doing real work but everyone else needs to be tossed in the fucking bin
I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Winning the Georgia Public Service Commission races would be a very important shot in the arm ahead of next year; with perhaps the top Senate race in America and an open gubernatorial seat that is Dems’ most realistic chance to break the Republican hold on state power, GA will be a top battleground
As of right now, with 10 days to go, the 10 biggest blue counties represent 48.3% of the votes cast in Georgia.
(Last year at this time, it was 44.8%. Final share was 44.6%.)
Black voters make up 31.9% of the votes cast so far. (One year ago at this time, it was 25.2%)

Republicans in Congress have access to this same data
But instead of separating themselves from Trump, they’re doubling down on his disastrous policies
Now, they know they can’t win with these bad ideas
That’s why they’re trying to gerrymander every state they possibly can

New in PN: @gelliottmorris.com on Trump's dire polling
"Trump has the unique problem that he started off a lot lower than other presidents. So as he loses ground — and he has lost ground at about the normal clip — he just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."

Massive confusion in Missouri around the petition process to set up a referendum vote that would stop the GOP’s redistricting.
I’m not so sure that the confusion was unintentional on the Missouri GOP’s part.
But when they put up an obstacle, we climb over it.

We want to make a few things clear. Thanks to everyday Missourians, our campaign to overturn politicians’ gerrymandered maps is off to an incredible start. And that scares politicians who want to hold on to power at the expense of all Missourians.
