The primary is in June, right? Pretty sure February polls don’t mean much.

Susan Collins very well might not win if Mills is the Dem nominee. But she will destroy Platner if he wins the primary.

Yeah. I’ve been a county and state government attorney for about 15 years (civil practice in many areas, but the bulk is election law). We do not get any leeway from judges (state or federal). But also, I would crumble and turn into dust from the embarrassment of filing something with placeholders.

To all those who are saying "I did not vote for this, this is not what I voted for when I voted for him!" -

Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Yes, you did.

We told you. We warned you. You didn't listen.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Absolutely loved Coupling. When they tried to redo it with an American cast (Γ  la the Office), it was positively dreadful.

Not ballots. Absentee ballot applications. Don’t be a source of misinformation. Leave that to the other side.

Would you make the same choice if it meant Rs would keep the majority in the Senate?

Not a Missouri judge. The DOJ lawyer is from Missouri. The judge who signed the warrant is a Georgia federal magistrate judge.

Folks, this is talking about new durable medical equipment *suppliers*. They're putting a temporary moratorium on newly founded companies enrolling to receive payment from Medicare for selling durable medical equipment. All the old suppliers will still be open. Patients can still get new equipment.

Congress in Arizona? Do you mean the State Legislature? This is about the Legislature sending bills to the ballot because they want to avoid the governor’s veto.

This is the correct answer. But only the bean burrito. If I could replicate the red sauce, I would be very happy.

Turn out of hundreds at a city council meeting that usually draws maybe a dozen residents is massive. And if they are speaking out against a government action that is a protest. And protest is a right protected by the first amendment just as is petitioning the government for redress of grievances.

The ballots are from 2020. Musk’s PAC was found to have prefilled absentee ballot applications β€” not ballots β€” in 2024. Completely different things.

Don't look at the Court's correct ruling on tariffs and what I anticipate to be a correct striking down of the birthright citizenship executive order as evidence of a moderate Supreme Court. The Justice have done, and continue to do, lots of mischief, including accreting more power for themselves.

(State) government lawyer here. Also a procrastinator who is often not ready to file by 5:00 pm when our support staff leaves. We have to jump through about 18 hoops to authorize overtime for them, so I damn well know how to file my own stuff. And I started practicing before e-filing was a thing.

Has this woman never hand washed her delicates? The sink and a bit of body wash or shampoo are going clean her chonies far better. And won’t ruin things for everyone else.
