Tulsi just pulled the current litigation involving the text does not allow her to comment on the situation card.
I just read through the Executive Order. The part about only counting votes that have been physically received by state election officials by election day is interesting because it doesn’t include any exemptions for absentee ballots from military service members. That’s a fairly large chunk of absentee ballots and they tend to favor Republicans. I don’t want anyone to be disenfranchised, even Republicans, but Trump may be shooting himself in the foot here if he succeeds in getting states to follow the EO.
Edit to add:
One other factor in this EO that may hurt Republicans is that per a 2019 survey a higher percentage of self-identified liberals have passports than self-identified conservatives. (57 to 48 percent) So if that’s one of the main ways to prove citizenship when registering that’s not going to help the GOP.
Ratcliffe just said none of it matters because they killed terrorists.
…and so will he be.
I think maaayyybbbee their insistence that 4+ 4 = 5 isn’t going to work this time. Maybe…
Not sure why I’m suddenly feeling a little optimistic for once… I guess because the enormity of the fuckup, and how blatantly obvious it is, is so evident…
links are good, screenshots of links are bad.
Krishnamoorthi just called for Hegseth’s resignation for disclosing classified information.
This is fun to watch, the republicans are praising them, the democrats are going after them.
For anyone elsewho wants to watch, ABC is preempting programming for it:
As such look for the republicans to set something else on fire to distract the media (that’s like on line three from Bannon’s ‘modernizing’ of mein kampf) -sigh-
It was for the Press Secretary’s comment, not the article itself.
It’s already happening. During these hearings, while Dem interlocutors are honing in exclusively on the disastrous Signal chat, Repubs are asking about ANYTHING but. Chinese students using drones to take sensitive photos! Chinese millionaires buying up Amurican real estate!
Ooh, do you have knowledge of Hegseth drinking when he leaked classified information?
Ratcliffe did not like that question.
Side not, I saw a couple masks being worn.
As a comedian whose name I can’t remember* observed,
“You know there’s a Native American somewhere saying, 'Hell, at least they’re paying for it.”
*the original context for this was ~35 years ago, when people were freaking out over Japanese individuals/companies buying US real estate
