Illegal voting is very rare: ~100 convictions a year. Drunk driving is far more common:~500K convictions and ~13K deaths annually. Yet we’re debating the onerous SAVE Act to prevent ~100 votes & not universal breathalyzers (the simple act of blowing into a tube) to prevent thousands of deaths. Why?

Rest in power, Rev. Jackson. You held strong to the truth that we all are “somebody,” and we're ALL beneficiaries of your hard work and dedication to this truth. Photo: My mother's "Jackson for President" button from her participation in an 80s Democratic convention. #FollowTheRainbow

I don't understand why the CTA can't find escalators that will work for more than a month or so. #CTA #RedLine #Chicago

Where in the world is your friend Aaron going? Hint: It may be an awkward time to visit another NATO country, but I'm sure everyone will be lovely on my side trip to visit the western most tip of continental Europe.

The USPS changed its postmark rule Dec 24. Postmarks now reflect the date mail is processed at a facility, not when you drop it off, potentially causing delays for tax returns, BALLOTS, payments. Mail time-sensitive items days early or get a manual, hand-stamped postmark at the post office counter.

The dwindling Christmas ham. Alas.

There’s a 92 Percent Chance Trump Is Making It Up When riffing, the president exhibits an unusual tell.

"Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, told Vanity Fair that her boss is a 'statistical savant.' More likely, his affinity for 92 percent and extravagantly large round numbers is what in a game of poker might be called a tell."
