I voted FOR the referendum this morning using one of the state's new EE&S voting machines. Pros: Paper trial created during voting. Cons: -Lots of "Are you sure?" prompts and processes, so it takes a long time to vote.  Much longer (I assume) if you decide that you aren't sure at some point. - One of the two brand new machines at my polling station was out of order. There was someone on the phone with tech support while I was voting in the next booth and it sounded a lot like your father calling tech support. If they seize up at this rate (50%) in November it will be trouble.   Bottom Line:  I'm nervous.

Chuck Todd sucks

What the fuck is Coons doing? Seriously. Is anyone really into his "I'm just a pitiful waif" routine?

Watch this little video about how and why AOC got involved with Justice Democrats. Stop playing it safe. Give it all you've got.

Anti-Impeachment D To Flip.  He thinks he has a better chance to save his seat in a general than in a primary against a real D: Those talks (with Trump)…

Only the overwhelming force of voters storming polling places in November to clear out Trump’s support structure can stop him. The press and moderate Dems like Biden and Coons are…

You don't have to watch Morning Joe this morning to know that this will mean that America doesn't really want affordable healthcare. These UK election results prove that we can't address the climate crisis. Corbyn's loss means that corporations must be allowed to run riot, and that we must always treat poor people like criminals. Corbyn somehow proves that America is only ready for a very watered down Dem message - 99% water or we'll lose the very wise centrist voters of north western bumbfuck.

That Trump is a criminal and a terrible President isn't controversial.  His defenders in congress, on TV and at the bar don't try to refute any of that.  It is a given.  Braying idiots like Matt Gaetz who defend Trump know how awful he is, they like the awful.   Trump defenders are not trying to fuck with your head.  They simply don't think Trump should be in trouble for being a criminal and a terrible President.  They knew he was going to be a criminal and a terrible President when they voted for him.   Defending Trump isn't an exercise in denying reality.  It is an embrace of reality.    

At 34 years of age, Sanna Marin, Finland's new prime minister is the youngest head of state in the world. Finland's new government met in Helsinki today, with PM Sanna…

Coons showed up on Morning Joe for his monthly tongue bath. Joe Scarborough - (Some dumb bullshit about baseball) Coons - Ha ha...(Some dumb bullshit about baseball) David Ignatious - Surprising comments by AG Barr denouncing the FBI's IG report, what do you think? Coons- Sad to see Barr continue fake conspiracy theories, I'm disappointed in Barr Willie Giest - You called for firing of Stephen Miller after white nationalist connections were discovered, how is that going? Coons- We don't use cruelty to children as a policy tool. [Fact Check - Turns out, We do.] Miller is a cancer at the heart of this Presidency. [Fact Check - Trump is a cancer at the heart of the Presidency.] Claire McGaskill - Back to IG report. There is going to be a heating in the Senate. Which Lindsey Graham do we expect to see "Groupie Lindsey Graham" or your Bi-partisan buddy? Coons- "I hope" my bi-partisan buddy, but we are more likely to see Trump toady Graham. [Fact Check - "hope" is the only tool in Coons' bipartisan toolbox.] Mike Barnicle - You confirmed Barr, what do you think about him now? What happens to Christopher Wray now? Coons - I voted against Barr, and for Wray. The FBI is good. Impressed Wray is standing up to Trump. [Fact Check - coons phoned in his vote aganst Barr because the Prayer Breakfast was sooooooooooo important.] XX - Use of FISA to surveil Trump is going to be a contenous issue in the hearing today. If there room for reform or is this going to be political theater? Coons - Politcal theatre.

I'm surprised I missed this episode of Coons trying to have it both ways. Coons, pathetic as usual, asserts that there are some fine people in the GOP who know Trump is guilty as fuck, but they have legitimate concern about being re-elected if they cross Trump. Insert> *sad trombone cue* Just pitiful.

...is how Joe Biden worked hand in glove with George W. Bush to drag the country into Bush's vanity war in Iraq. Get him in front of Congress to testify…
