Brett Jones, the first openly gay sheriff to be elected in Alabama, campaigned on transparency, jail reform and discontinuing the county’s contract with Flock, the controversial license plate reader system that has sparked widespread concern. wapo.st/4Ahz6YP

Let’s take it even further!! I’m proposing what I am calling “Individual Voters” where each voter is their own member of the electoral college.

YouTube influencer--out of ignorance or pretentiousness--uses gloves to handle a not very rare book
--while Egyptologist Curator of Mss at the French National Library does not: while handling 1 of 3 original prints from the Rosetta Stone & Champollion's notebook
Any questions?

Every anti-Paxton Republican I talked to was sick of exactly this kind of crap. They want the party to grow up, stop acting like Biff from Back to the Future, and actually try competence and integrity for a change.

Democrats should do the Stefanik college president hearings in reverse. Get college presidents on the record saying that students have the right to peacefully protest and to say controversial--even offensive-- things. Get them on the record that scholars should not punished for their views and that universities will protect foreign students targeted for their views. Demand that the last three years of McCarthyism and cowardice end now.

You’re about to see some Hall of Fame snitching and Game of Thrones level maneuvering within this administration. It’s about to be every man and woman for themselves.

Long time Exec Director of Mi Republican Party when it was the gold standard of state parties.
Tonight is likely to be a rejection of @MikeRogersForMI. All my tweeting aside, I’ve known Mike & Kristi for 30+ years, I know how much it will hurt to lose. If that happens, I hope they accept this in the spirit in which this is offered: You deserve to be miserable after the appalling bigotry you’ve spread like napalm. Go away.

No, I'm saying that your attempt to ignore years of Trump and the GOP repeatedly attacking our constitutional order by creating some fantasy of what you assert Democrats will do three years from now is a dishonest and partisan argument - and you, of course, know it.

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

There is no way - or should be no way - for the government to know whom you voted for. That's what a secret ballot means.
🚨 NOW: Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy announces there will be a FOLLOW-UP with voters who cast their ballot for the fake Dan Sullivan, to see if they meant to vote for the REAL Sen. Dan Sullivan
If enough voters were duped, this should be allowed to FLIP the race in the GOP Senator's favor if Peltola's scheme steals the seat!

WTAF are the velvet ropes for?????
This is Obama's Oval Office: an ambience and atmosphere that invites conversation, negotiation, and a quiet respite.
It doesn't look like Trump's garish pro-wrestler's dressing room or a Turkish brothel.

This is like the epigraph for the entire Trump 2.0 presidency:
‘’I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’

Well, it's true that I didn't write a *second* piece about Biden's pardons, probably because I was busy being appalled at Trump pardoning seditionists and rioters who attacked the Capitol and the US Constitution - as I feared he would:
theatlantic.com/newsletters/…
Yes. He called Biden's December 2024 Hunter Biden pardon a "terrible idea," "dishonorable and unwise," and a "tremendous strategic blunder" in The Atlantic.
No public record found of him raising similar questions about the January 2025 preemptive pardons for Fauci, Milley, the Jan. 6 committee, or other family members.
