One of the only scenes that can cheer me up at the end of a truly atrocious week.

Barbecue sauce.

“At the moment, democracy is one of [the issues]. But it is not the top one.”

I hope Joe Kahn remembers these chillingly misguided words if authoritarian Trump comes to power and NYT reporters come to have “mishaps” involving falling out of windows.

A number of states formally *prohibit* the counting of any votes until after polls close on Election Day.

And a bunch of those laws were enacted by Republican-controlled state legislatures.

Your reminders that mass voter fraud does not exist, laws in WI & elsewhere to delay counting absentee ballots in advance exist precisely to sow 👇fears/lies, & normal pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Tell me you don’t listen to lyrics without telling me you don’t listen to lyrics.

The Biden admin is changing HHS rules to allow DREAMers — DACA recipients — to apply for coverage under the Affordable Care Act for the first time.

Happy anniversary of this tweet, Lindsey.

Trump has already said he won't accept the election results if he loses... and it's not front-page news?!?
