The PASEN race makes me sick. Both Fetterman and Oz are egotistical, mendacious idiots. No matter who wins, voters - especially Black voters - in Pennsylvania lose.

Johnson tends to outperform polls, but his saying he'd support the Obergefell/Loving ratification bill makes me think the bleeding from independents is real.

There are some interesting results out of Alaska. Much as I'd love to see Palin booted back to hell, it's way too soon to tell about the Congressional seat, but the state legislative seats are worth a gander as well.

Well, I guess they're at least a little more discreet than the Nazis. They just remove the books and hide them while the Nazis burned them openly.

This is inhumane.

Usually, I avoid all and anything Haberman and Thrush, but admittedly, this article piqued my curiosity…and the Japan Times article includes audio reading of the article, which allowed me to have my morning cup of tea at the same time which makes reading  this article tolerable.

Government documents that Trump had accumulated were with him in roughly two dozen boxes in the White House residence. They were to go to the National Archives, but at least some ended up in Florida. | via @nytimes https://t.co/iETsA091C0
