It's worth remembering that the reason the vote counting is taking so long is that in many of these states the Republicans blocked laws that would have allowed the counting to start earlier

Here's the first person in line to vote in the United Center. She was registered to vote on the South Side, but she received mixed signals about where to vote. So, she woke up at 4 a.m., got her an iced coffee from Dunkin, and voted where she heard "any and everyone" could.

It's not just Trump. This election has to be an historic rebuke of the Republican Party. Anything less condemns our country to more cycles of mindless insanity.

Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.

Pretty telling that one of Trump’s staunchest supporters makes an 800-word argument for his re-election that doesn’t say a word about the President’s response to a crisis that’s killed 150,000 Americans.

It's National Vote By Mail Day. Voting by mail is easy and safe. Take a few minutes to request your vote-by-mail ballot, then get your family and friends to do the same. Request your ballot early, send it back early, and fill it out carefully. Get started: votesaveamerica.com/everylas…

#Juneteenth reminds us of how vulnerable our nation is to being poisoned by systems and acts of inhumanity—but it's also a reminder of our ability to change. Together, we can lay the roots of real and lasting justice, and become the extraordinary nation that was promised to all.

This is the President of the United States of America threatening to shoot people in Minneapolis. Vote please. Request your absentee ballots. Do whatever you can wherever you can. Now is the time. I am logging off.
Replying to @realDonaldTrump
....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

I wish anything fulfilled me as much as @SteveKornacki seems fulfilled by incoming results.

Transformational and sustainable change in any organization cannot occur without the support and buy-in of the community and constituents it serves. We must insist and ensure that Helena’s city government and leadership be transparent and communicate clearly with our community.
