I’m never not amazed that David Lynch accidentally spotted his set designer during filming and said “you’re going to be the embodiment of absolute evil” and the set designer said “Ok” and immediately became the most terrifying character in the history of television

astonishing how whenever you go to the post office the queue in front of you is made up almost entirely of people who appear to have ended up at the post office by accident, have in fact never visited a post office before, and have no idea what they want out of the experience

A point that a lot of non-trans politicos miss is that the point of bathroom bills isn't really enforcement. It's to chill public expression and make you second-guess being out in public in the first place.
When the anti-transgender "bathroom bill" was debated at the Texas Capitol in 2017, probably every trans person in Texas was at the building to testify and protest for days. They all used the restrooms. Everything was fine.

Listen to my rep @GovernorShapiro
Mass transit is a lifeline for Pennsylvanians, but Senate Republicans still refused a deal to fund SEPTA. Now, the Governor may be able to "flex" federal funds to help plug the gap in SEPTA’s budget. I believe we should use any power we have to avoid fare hikes and service cuts.

The condition of Philly public schools cannot be dependent on whether the Eagles quarterback is a good person or not
Jalen Hurts has been donating $5,000 for every TD this season to provide air conditioning in Philadelphia public schools. With his four TDs against Dallas, he reached the $100,000 milestone. At the start of the school year, there were still 63 additional schools requiring upgrades to prevent sending students home early. An additional $200K will allow Hurts to help improve conditions at those schools.

It’s time for the media to start reporting what this actually is: corruption. An aerospace and defense contractor with billions of dollars in federal government commitments engaging in blatant influence peddling.
Elon Musk is expected to join former Trump at the House Republican conference meeting this morning, @KateSullivanDC reports.

30% fare increases Service cuts by 20% across the board Dozens of routes eliminated "Unusable service" on weekends We are imminently facing an irreversible public transportation "death spiral" because Harrisburg Republicans did not fund SEPTA. This new reality is nothing short of catastrophic for West and Southwest Philadelphians, who disproportionatley rely on public transportation to get around. The time for political games is over. A bill fully funding SEPTA already passed the State House with bipartisan support. I call on Pennsylvania Senate Republicans to stop stonewalling and immediately send House Bill 2625 to Governor Shapiro's desk. If all else fails, I urge Governor Shapiro to do everything he can to stop the bleeding.

Important thread from Dave. Confirming the Trump campaign’s gamble—that they could turn out masses of low-propensity voters, even without a traditional ground game—paid off in ways that surpassed every expectation and ought to now transform our view of the Republican coalition.
Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true. In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008. She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

As Donald Trump readies to return to the Oval Office, U.S. retailers that depend on foreign suppliers are prepared to pass along the cost of his proposed import tariffs to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices for a range of products. cbsn.ws/48Lnwcc

Woah. That's Pete Buttigieg right there, making the case for Kamala in front of 25 undecided voters. I'm not even finished watching the video, but he's effectively convincing people to go vote.

I wouldn't let that Selzer poll impact a single ounce of GOTV efforts. Keep up the morale, use that good feeling you might have to maintain your energy and efforts. Act like you're 5 points behind and show up to vote and bring yours friends like your life depends on it (it does)
