Zack Fink @ZackFinkNews
Democratic source says @MelindaKatz is AHEAD of @CabanForQueens by 20 votes.

Final count has now been completed, including absentee ballots and affidavits.

This will likely trigger a full recount.

It did not have anything to do with the "fire aboard a Russian submarine killed 14 sailors earlier in the day." Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, told ABC that members of the media would learn "in a few weeks" what led to Pence's reversal.

Transparency! Absolutely normal behavior. Give it a few weeks so that everyone can forget it even happened.

There are reports that it has something to do with the place Pence was visiting. He was going to some rehab center to talk about the opioid epidemic. Several people told the Times that it has something to do with that center. Not sure if true or if that's a diversion, but most other possibilities have been rules out.

This got bottom paged and I think it's fairly important because Roberts did leave the door open in the decision and it's not getting talked about much.

Actually, Roberts left open a door for him to get it in the census. The issue is time. I suspect they will try to push it through or secretly print a version of the census with the question and then dare opponents to stop them from using it. But either way, Roberts left the door open. Trump and his goons at justice just have to find a way to get through the door in time. I heard they plan to try to appeal directly to the SCOTUS and sidestep the nomral processes. They've tried this a few times already on other issues..

Also, it's an all female delegation, because what man wants to spend time watching women play sports?

I hadn’t seen it on any of the major outlets and hadn’t seen it here. I may have missed it on the bigger places though. Thanks for the encouragement

Amash announces he is leaving the Republican Party

Quitter.

If you would've told me four years ago that I would be hoping for Justin Amash to run for president, and that if he did I would be extremely likely to vote for him, I'd have been very confused

My home is getting hammered by heavy rain, and wild lightening. I am hoping it keeps up through Celebrate Don on 7/4/2019 day. Maybe it can even get a little worse.

I do feel bad for the service members that are stationed with the vehicle. Its gnarly.

This is an actual, boring, Presidential speech so far.

Not sure who made the decision to film it through Plexiglas borrowed from a local payday loan store, though.

Lol this looks like such complete shit.

CNN referred to his speech as "8th grade history class" and "something you would've learned on Schoolhouse Rock"

“Our Army manned the air, it rammed (?) the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

BWI to the south or head north to PHL and/or ERW?

Since McHenry and the Star Spangled Banner" were the forgotten war of 1812, there are a lot of structural problem with that one quip. Washington died in 1799 FWIW.

I completely missed this tidbit from the Osaka G20 meeting:

Then the president doubled down on dumb when he was asked about the standout moment from the Democratic debate this week when Senator Kamala Harris confronted Joe Biden about his past positions on federally mandated busing. Trump somehow thinks the issue is purely about transportation instead of desegregation.

“Well, [busing is] something that they’ve done for a long period of time. You know, there aren’t that many ways you’re going to get people to schools… It is certainly a primary method of getting people to schools,” Trump said.
