feel like pacino just link dumping but thought this was funny too

On Thursday, in a conference call with a group of lobbyists, Mr. McConnell vented that the party’s Senate candidates are being financially overwhelmed because of small-dollar contributions to ActBlue, the online liberal fund-raising hub.

This is the most anecdotal of anecdotal things, but I was completely stunned when I stopped by Cira Green over the weekend after picking up some curbside food and saw presumably a Drexel kid, all of maybe 19, with a Biden logo mask. Hope they all come out.

So I checked my voter registration a bit ago and was fine.. I hadn't received my mail in ballot yet so I got concerned. Went back to the website and it says I have an NVRA inactive address. Luckily a court extended voter registration in AZ so I should be fine I hope. What a mess.

One of my theories is that one of the big obstacle to 18-22 year old voting is that they are physically at college and not in their district on election day. In this election there has been a significantly greater focus on mail in voting (rather than just absentee request voting) AND more of them are living at home because a certain number of college campuses are closed. If the 18-22 turnout is not signficantly higher, something has gone horribly wrong.

So what you’re saying is that young people didn’t give a shit about Obama, it was Biden driving that turnout all this time.

how is any sort of early voter turnout relevant this year vs 2016? can't most of the country early vote now and that wasn't the case in previous elections?

Heard some audio from Trump's time on Fox last night, coughing clearing his throat and unable to speak, so it hardly seems that he is perfectly ready to hit the campaign trail and go see people at Rallys. What a farce. And the doctor should lose his license to practice for writing a memo saying that he's clear to go out.

In response to the whole debate kerfuffle I think Biden’s response should be: “Once the President starts making his negative tests(s) public then we can begin to discuss another in-person debate — even if his tests are under audit!”

Sheriff says maybe the militia were trying to effect a citizens arrest.

Trump canceled a talked-about appearance tomorrow night in Beaver County, PA

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon conspiracy theorist and Republican candidate who is expected to win her House race in Georgia next month, donated $450,000 to her own campaign after receiving a six-figure Paycheck Protection Program loan from the government for her construction company.

Well then.

This is a good example of having a story to tell, and using data to tell that story no matter what the numbers say.

The Trump/Limbaugh rally is insane

Aside from the mind bending idea that Trump is guest hosting, I mean a president guest hosting a radio program is nut at anytime, not just now, but what else?

Iowa Gazett endorse Biden, pretty scathing to Trump

A button on 40 years of bullshit from the right.

Don Jr held an indoor rally for 100 mostly maskless people in FL. Of course the room was maxed out.

I guess it’s the normal craziness but he did say he wants stimulus at 1.8 trillion which apparently he didn’t want the other day, then did, then didn’t again

Trump said he wants a bigger stimulus package than Pelosi is offering. Lol.
