People will probably say my finger was too high but I was clicking directly on Nixon's name and DEM here Jacksonville, FL. The poll worker told me to use the stylus but it did the same thing.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government. https://cnn.it/3UQYxBz

Datafolha projects that Lula has defeated Flávio Bolsonaro and won an unprecedented fourth term in the Brazilian presidential runoff. With 75.87% of votes counted, Lula leads 51.11% to 48.89%, and Datafolha says Bolsonaro can no longer catch up.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

My social media post after Trump's election in 2016. Still true.

"The last resort: if Democrats retake the House, Johnson remains speaker until the new House convenes at noon on 3 January.That morning he could fire the nonpartisan clerk... & install a loyalist who would refuse to accept the certifications of Democratic winners" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Today there have been many clips of both Barack Obama and Cheeto speaking. If Cheeto can run for a third term, can Obama? I'd be proud to vote for Obama again. #bestpresidentofmylifetime

“Trump’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory.” - Barack Obama in Ohio.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Ouch

Trump went from packing arenas to being the punchline at intimate gatherings. I love this for him. Obama, no notes. 🔥

🔥🔥🔥HOLY HELL: Whatever you do, do not repost this as Donald Trump will lose his shit if he hears this insane applause Ohio gave Obama today!

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

A California sheriff rebuked by the state's highest court over a sweeping election move now wants someone else to cover the fallout.

Trump’s response to the Ramaswamy ad is worth dwelling on to remind us how his administration has actually treated survivors of abuse. Beyond Acton, beyond Epstein's victims, there are thousands of other kids and domestic violence victims whose lives have been made materially worse by Trump policy

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

Nick Mansour has a Stanford engineering degree & MBA, and a CEO track record scaling Arizona College of Nursing from 1 to 24 campuses. He's earned bipartisan respect and in Arizona that is no easy task. Arizona's $31B in assets needs real management experience — he has it.

The NY Post is calling this art installation in Tehran, featuring a performer dressed as Trump in a mock jail cell, “sickening.” Surely they jest.

Too stupid to notice the cameras—and arrogant enough to blame the critics for the blowback instead of admitting his MAGA bias. www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/archbishop...

Trump defended an attack ad exploiting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma, then attacked the reporter who questioned him about it. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...
