This isn’t fully true! You can request a manual postmark at a post office, you just need to know to do it. Just another thing to educate mail-in voters about.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

UNBELIEVABLELY sweet moment between a peacock chick and their parent.

Last year I had seen the chicks about 3 weeks later, I was determined to get them younger, and this one DID NOT disappoint!

From LBJ to George W. Bush, Austin tailor Ghassan Karim dressed presidents. Now his brother-in-law keeps the shop running while honoring his legacy.

The story of Gassane Tailors is also a story of immigration and family resilience.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.
Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Gov. Abbott and the Texas GOP failed to take preventive action before the floods that could have saved lives. They failed to prioritize flooding in the Special Session, and now are wrongly using flood victims as political hostages to urge Democrats to return for approval of Trump's crooked maps.

“With a few social media posts, Holler gathered a group of a dozen or so like-minded Catholic moms to meet online, and in July they took their first action: a letter-writing campaign to U.S. bishops, urging them to speak out publicly and advocate politically for mercy in the treatment of migrants.”

What does the wannabe king want us to do?

- give up on each other
- excuse his crackdowns

- stop persuading new people to join

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
