New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

BREAKING: Republican lawmakers unveil the Make Elections Great Again Act — a new bill that would impose the most extreme federal voting restrictions in history.

The measure would go beyond the SAVE Act by imposing strict voter ID to vote, mandating voter roll purges, banning mail voting and more.

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

Wait, that's a crime? I thought it was the whole point. Oh right, only MAGA GOP are allowed to "make money" while in office.

Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles was the start of this madness, with National Guard troops blocking access to LA's downtown for weeks. ICE used horses, chased people in the park. Then D.C., Memphis, Chicago. ICE has been out of control all year. We need massive protests and we need voters to show up.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

They want to kill your ownership of your data. Along with a home computer to store it.

We need a service for this.
"They're Sleeping-Can't Move"
It would bring things to you at your chair or other held hostage location.
They would bring you food, a drink, a pillow for that foot that fell asleep and the remote you dropped.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Remember when we all lost our minds that Vice President Dan Quayle corrected that student to misspell "potato" as "potatoe"? How that one mistake told us he must be unqualified, unintelligent, in serving as VP! What a story it was, how the media covered it?
Ah, those were the days... 😢

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

In case you missed this beautiful moment of solidarity, "Rainbow Connection" parody performance by Portland Sage Singers on Oct 23rd in front of the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon.🐸

A rainbow appeared that day.

Portland police just called out the feds. Commander Franz Schoening testified federal agents attacked protesters after misfiring teargas onto their own roof.

Unqualified, untrained, racist Nazi thugs.

Same here, unless Stephen Nelson is on the TV broadcast. We love how he & Rick Monday cover the games. They will cheer good play but be brutally honest for bad play. They really have a good team w/Joe & Orel, & Eric Karros & Jessica Mendoza as really good analysts but our favorite is Stephen & Rick.

Over 54,000 fans packed into Dodger Stadium to see a Randy Johnson - Greg Maddux duel but both pitchers were scratched before the game and their replacements were a couple of kids named Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw.

Artillery shell exploded prematurely over California freeway during marines celebration Shrapnel fragments rained on vehicles parked on Interstate 5 including highway patrol and JD Vance’s detail

They acted like Gov Newsom was making a big deal over this. In 65 years I cannot remember a time they fired over the freeway w/active traffic! This shows why it was shut down.

I don't think it pays off to buy a stadium naming right, it doesn't make me buy their product, or think warmly of them. But if you're going to waste your money, be the first one. You can quit later, because we will remember the first name, not the rest! You've got the name locked in our brains.

He's using this shutdown as an excuse for what he was doing w/Russell Vought & Elon Musk's DOGE disaster. Going after depts he thinks support Democratic programs in blue states. Stupid, because it hurts everyone, especially his voters. But AP, at least call it out as illegal & unconstitutional.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
