Votes aren't showing up for Nelson in Broward. Scott has won.

Donald is in greatest hits mode. The cereal ID thing is from August. Yesterday he went with the F-35 "They’re stealth. You can’t see it” from July.

Are his [joke] writers on strike? Does he think everyone forgets? Did he just forget? Is it a loop (good evidence with caravan stuff, people changing clothing a la the golfer at Mar-a-Lago, etc.).

Maybe his quality time spent with Rudy and the boys outlining how his friends and family might be in legal peril is making him crack.

KAC thinks a shutdown is a good idea to get the wall funding. Happy holidays.

Yup. Recount already done which means it was shitty ballot design (as thought) and not a weird machine error. Sucks, but expected.

Which brings me back to my earlier point of THIS WAS A FUCKING INEVITABILITY. The fact that the GOP responded by throwing out conspiracy theories is fucking disgusting.

Yeah, Broward's entire elections board needs to go. They fucked up bigly.

I really appreciated the Abigail Spanberger (VA-7) interview on Thedaily yesterday. Seems like a smart representative for Virginia, and similar to Wexton (VA-10). That could mean good things for the states general representation and influence.

In a campaign appearance in Starkville, Mississippi, earlier this month, Hyde-Smith told a group that “there's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who that maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea.”

Another 'joke' from the candidate in Mississippi that previously mentioned hanging.

CNN won law suit, Acosta hard pass restored.

What are the chances he gets called on in the press room?

About the same as everyone else, since the White House doesn't do briefings anymore

What are the chances the WH obeys the court order?

Most transparent Administration in history.

Better question is what are the odds they appeal it? The judge ruled on Due Process grounds, if they take it higher SCOTUS may address the First Amendment issue which could back fire on the WH.

Or on the rest of us!

GRASSLEY MOVING TO FINANCE means:
- Lindsey Graham to take over Judiciary (reminder: he vowed not to forget Dems' push on Kavanaugh accusations.)
- Crapo stays at Banking.
- Toomey not likely to become a committee chair (was in line for Banking if Crapo took Finance.)

From Lisa Desjardins of NBC Newshour which is great for Pennsylvanians. Keeps Toomey a little more low profile.

Pramila Jaypal is for Pelosi for speaker after negotiating that those in the Progressive Caucus get proportional representation on the money committees

Pretty big news if you're tracking this Speakership race

Also learned through this that voter suppression is not a real thing.

Flynn and company get their way one way or another. So both Turkey and SA get their men and the US is the only one who gets nothing. So tired of all the winning.

Broward not knowing how to design a ballot isn't voter suppression

Jeez - DJT saying that they will put rules in place to enforce decorum in the press room, and if they feel that they are mistreated by the press then they should just leave.

At least 25% of any press conference with this administration is the Press Sec lecturing, yelling at, belittling, and lying to the members of the press, and he wants to talk decorum.

...

Speaking of lies, he is talking so the fact checkers are going to have a busy afternoon based on his second comment.
