Re Judge Merchan: people need to realize that by putting the sentencing off (for now) Merchan has kept the S CT’s hands off the verdict pre election.

“You can’t come to the vice president and just ask her to do something,” said another staffer. “You need to have a why.” Outrageous! Staffers should be able to order their bosses around without offering any explanation. What kind of a toxic work environment is this?? smdh

I am tearing up trying not to cry

NEW: The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that the Green Party cannot appear on the presidential ballot after finding it did not comply with state law while circulating its ballot petition. The decision is a win for state Democrats and overturns a lower court's ruling.

I've been able to confirm that the Trump mailers slamming the mailboxes of partisan Democrats in all seven swing states are all being sent from a single zip code in Jacksonville, Florida talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/breakin… via Talking Points Memo

If Dick Cheney is voting for Kamala Harris, it’s safe to say this election is not any kind of referendum on conservatism. Conservatism is not on the ballot, so let’s just all band together and beat the guy who would ignore our votes and terminate the Constitution.

Politics is constantly realigning, endlessly generating new coalitions. Lifelong Republican Dick Cheney is now supporting VP Harris. Paid Russian agents and people who think Winston Churchill was the real villain of World War 2 are rallying to Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney, in the most direct way she can, makes the case that Trump/Vance have a real problem with women, in what Vance repeatedly says and the awful things Trump has said/done. If only other conservatives were as principled and courageous as Liz is. mediaite.com/politics/liz-c…

Anyways, not gonna rehabilitate Dick Cheney but it's still shocking to me. Like if you told me in 2004 that in 20 years Dick Cheney would support my progressive half black/half Indian DA in San Francisco, it would have been a very bizarre dream.

The CR is out. 46 pages. Likely vote on Wednesday.

Don't use polls of app users or those done by HS students. This isn't that hard.

Trump can get away with stuff that no other candidate can. If Harris made jokes about the Trump shooting there'd be hundreds of op-eds calling for civility. Trump calls for violence and one political party just shrugs it off.

So, the last two Republican vice presidents aren’t voting for the current GOP nominee — one of them affirmatively endorsing the Democratic ticket. One more interesting data point in an ever changing political landscape.

In Wisconsin, a sheriff appears to have pressured local officials to not use drop boxes for mail ballots: The sheriff is Dodge County's Dale Schmidt, a Republican.

Why PHI-GB can play tonight, but Fri nights and Saturdays are otherwise NFL-free? The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 said the NFL could negotiate its tv rights collectively w/o violating antitrust law only if they left those windows alone starting the *2nd* Friday in September.

so is GWB still in a witness protection program? Does he not have the same character as the Cheneys? apparently not...

Hopefully other Republicans will explain publicly why they privately state they will vote for Harris — our democracy is at stake!

To the younger adults on my TL, there's a few things about the shock and awe over the Cheney endorsement: 1. Dick Cheney is a staunch, die hard, tried and true republican. But his version of the party doesn't exist anymore. Him being anti-Trump is no surprise (bc Liz is and has

Former Shin Bet head Nadav Argaman, appointed by Netanyahu, tore serious holes in Netanyahu's thesis on the importance of the Philadelphi corridor. He said that "there were smuggling tunnels between the Gaza Strip and Egypt until around 2016-2017, but Egypt, at Israel's
