I love that I birthed a kid who will accompany to a Pitbull concert, musical theater and MLB games.

Not a special election

Are you familiar with The Beatles subdivision?

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

? Probably on Twitter tbh

Every year I have to call MLB customer service to whitelist my IP so I’m not incorrectly blacked out from watching the Cubs. Started that call during the 6th inning today. Looking increasingly likely I won’t get off hold while the game is still being played.

At the local Irish pub where I am definitely a regular. I’ve bussed a table, rolled silverware, and was given the remote to change the channel on a TV.

I also broke a chair so we’ll call it a wash.

Oh, so it's not just me?

Every election official in a swing state knows what site Jared is talking about.

Folks, I promise you the election officials in places Trump would want to target have been on this earth longer than one day. They have thought about federal interference in their elections before.

Yeah, Tom, I know.

Yeah, us local election officials know. We plan and prepare.

Do you think local election officials don't have plans for what to do if a polling place can't be used for an election?

I mean, not really? There's not such thing as a few key precincts. Want to close all the polling place in Madison, Wisconsin? That's still over 100 polling places. How many federal agents do you think it takes to close 100 polling places?

The vast, vast majority of the United States votes on paper ballots.

Right?! Like are you going to seize every machine in Wisconsin?

It's less accurate and will take longer, but us election administrators will hand count if we don't have machines.

That's like Jessica's entire job, Ben.

Can I ask why you have so little confidence in local election officials? Have you ever talked to one?

Nathaniel is, of course, correct, and if anyone thinks 10,000 separate election jurisdictions will simply decide to violate their own state and local laws and not hold elections because President Trump says so, you have never talked to a county clerk.

Is that supposed to be an argument in it's favor?

I will reiterate my controversial take on this that Congressional pay is way too low, and the only way to combat this is to raise it by like 3-4x.

I'm a successful lawyer with a varying income and in a typical month, I make more money than my congressperson.

I could not afford two households.

But the current salary makes it almost impossible for those who aren't already rich to serve in Congress.

Attendance awards (especially in elementary school) are so dumb. Not getting sick (or going to school sick) doesn't make a kid more deserving of fun.

I get lots of people hate FSAs but I find them useful. I can budget for contacts, prescriptions and deductibles that way.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

I'm blaming perimenopause for everything these days.

i respect how every tribute to robert redford is at least a little bit horny
