One of Smartmatic’s main competitors is Dominion (now named Liberty Vote) which was recently bought by former Republican elections official John Poulos. Could this investigation be a way to discredit Smartmatic and steer contracts to GOP-linked Liberty Vote?

And we women only really got 95.8% of a day thanks to daylight savings. Better than the 85% gender pay gap, though!

@whitehouse.senate.gov did a VERY long speech of Trump and Epstein's ties w/Russia yesterday.

Thank you, Rep Thompson, for taking the moral and Constitutionally correct position on Trump’s illegal war on Iran.
You are right that strokes can result in more conservative beliefs. Specifically, damage to the prefrontal cortex. Damage in other areas of the brain can affect things like political intensity (but not conservative/liberal leaning). Very interesting
I keep thinking about this.
We could have this if we stopped bombing other countries, defunded the Pentagon and DHS, and if we taxed the rich.
She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point
As I write this, it’s been nearly 96 hours since U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran began, and if you’re like me, the feelings over this are all rather complicated.
(long thread)
Trump's new war is another episode in the withering of the legislative branch. Congress won't get to weigh in on Iran for days (thanks to GOP leadership). When it does, the delayed move to deny the ongoing war may not pass — and if it does, Trump will veto it. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/congres...
Trump just held a press conference about war with Iran, and spent much of it talking about drapes and his ballroom. I guess those are the drapes of wrath???
We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.
I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

It cool,, imma throw them a huge celebration in Las Vegas 👍🏾
NIMBYism going full horseshoe!
Of course, any refund to the companies who imported goods and paid those tariffs provides absolutely zero relief to all us consumers who had to pay inflated prices to make up for this tariffs in the first place.
FedEx will have records of its business customers who paid for those tariffs, with the exception of a very tiny percentage who may be cash, over the counter customers. I don't think FedEx can avoid refunding their customers if they collect anything from the federal govt.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

Ah, but not so quick:
- The Labor Dept IG doing the investigation is a former GOP congressman who violated ethics rules by putting his mistress and his fiancee's daughter on his congressional payroll
- The Labor Secty herself is in hot water for having an affair with a subordinate and other misdeeds
Also, all those direct-to-consumer companies that passed tariff charges on to their customers have to figure out how to unwind that. I'm thinking Amazon, but also so many others
It's not just cutting checks. Most tariffs were paid to the US govt by the shipper or freight forwarder, who then turn around and charge their customer (the importer). So the govt will reimburse the shipper or ff, but then they'll have to find their customers to reimburse them. Accounting nightmare.
This is a censorship state.
Is censorship a conservative value? Is that why Republicans are silent about this?
No, of course not. They are just happy to let Trump try to rig our politics because they benefit.
Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.
Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going.
Things are changing, y’all.

Need some follow up questions! Like, intelligent or bacteria-like? In our vicinity or zillions of light-years away? Conjecture or proven? Omg! Sooo many questions!
