In case anyone was wondering about GOP turnout in Loving county.

Almost three times as many voters, who don’t seem to like Paxton much.

I was on the ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES junket, and watching Joan Cusack break down the beats of the "Ballerina Barbie" speech like she was dissecting a jazz number was the highlight of the day.

Which is really saying something, because Carol Kane and Anjelica Huston were also there.

I voted on Election Day religiously until 2004 - the images of voters standing in line in Ohio stayed with me.

I'll tell anyone who will listen to vote early in the midterm.

Opinion | The Billionaires Have Gone Full Louis XV

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax.

Stars are disappearing before our eyes β€” and something in us is shifting For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that...

'We are losing the stars. Not all at once, but quietly, one streetlight, one neon sign, one expanding suburb at a time.'

Wait a minute, they have a runoff now?! While Talarico gets to work, they have 12 weeks of slugging each other over who is more insane for the most insane Republican primary voter pool in the country? This is like made in a lab to make this as possible to win for the Dems as can be

What we know, 11:30pm.

1. Progressives oust 3 Dems who were helping GOP in NC.
2. Dems flip legislative seat in AR.
3. Al Green + Crenshaw in big trouble.
4. #TXSen? Talarico up. GOP runoff.
5. Right holds court seat in AR, but no blowout.
6. VERY close races: Berger-Pace in NC, Arkansas SOS.

The first test of progressive challengers of the midterms is so incredibly close right now. Less than a point separates them in a battle along a very clear fault line over corporate money in politics.

I saw The Bride! tonight--wildly audacious and accomplished, and in fascinating dialogue with monster movies, musicals, and Bonnie and Clyde. Jessie Buckley is beyond-belief great. Huge swings like this & Wuthering Heights are why we need studios--it takes real $$ and support of vision to make them.

Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Seeks Fame and Fortune, Escorted by an F.B.I. SWAT Team

You may not know Alexis Wilkins, but she may be among the best-protected country singers in the US. FBI agents have ferried her to a British resort before a Windsor Castle dinner and to a Nashville hair salon. Wilkins, 27, is FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

WTF? I've been skeptical about any mention of Nuremberg-like anything, but this is grotesque. This why they gutted the JAG Corps, like they did the Inspectors General. The day is surely coming.
