admits, unprompted, that he hasn’t washed his hands in 10 years.
“Germs are not a real thing,” Pete says. “I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real.”
Lots of polling shows that Democrats are less likely to vote if they believe Trump is just going to steal the election. Trump's people have no doubt seen that polling too, which might be motivating Trump to be so honest about stealing the election. Win-win, so to speak.
The Biden campaign has hired a tribal engagement director (Clara Pratte, formerly chief of staff for Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye). Democrats up and down ballot have been taking Navajo turnout in AZ very seriously.
This is Billy. He can no longer see or hear, which only heightens his other good boy senses like smell and unconditional love. 13/10

Recall that this would also add 4 new electors for the Senators and one each for every congressman DC and Puerto Rico has. That totals 9 new members of the electoral college, equivalent of New Mexico and New Hampshire combined
Something to keep in mind: a majority opposes expanding the court, which is a hypothetical, and a majority also opposes holding confirmation hearings before the election, which is a thing that is actually happening right now.
Wow -- NYT poll shows steep opposition to court packing
58% oppose
31% support
These breakdowns are wild.
📊Independent voters oppose 65/25
📊Men oppose 71/23
📊Women oppose 47/38
📊Voters with grad degrees oppose 48/40
Someone check on Brian Fallon.

, internal from Republican Jim Bognet shows him trailing Democrat Matt Cartwright, 49%-43%, and perhaps more importantly, Biden leading in the district, 48%-46%.
This is false. Michael Bloomberg has not had a heart attack (and there's no evidence he's had one that is being hidden). He did have two stents put in 20 years ago, which is a relatively minor procedure that is usually an overnight hospital stay.

Biden is currently net +23,000 in the 3 counties that make up the bulk of Navajo Nation. Clinton was +16,000 in 2016. That gain could very well make up a significant percentage of his winning margin.
We need to recognize our Indigenous brothers and sisters in Indian Country. Their turnout broke records and we could not have won Arizona with out them!!

The next presidential candidate would be a moron if he or she didn’t run on legalizing weed. I see absolutely no downside. It’s a huge winner in the polls too.
The March 3 election for San Diego mayor STILL isn't resolved. With 5,000 votes left to count, Barbara Bry (D) leads Scott Sherman (R) by 1,001 votes for the 2nd spot in the Nov. runoff. With Todd Gloria (D) in 1st, Rs in danger of getting shut out.
JUST IN:
Montgomery County --one of PA's largest -- says it will begin counting mail-in ballots at 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning and continue counting 24/7 until all votes are tallied.
In AZ, Dems made a concerted effort to turn out Navajo voters and it seems to have paid some dividends. Biden outpacing Clinton by 8% in Coconino County, 4% in Navajo County, and 3% in Apache County.
President Biden in the next few days will unveil eye-popping new tax rates for the wealthiest Americans —a top marginal income tax rate of 39.6% and a capital gains rate of 43.4%.
Last night, Pennsylvanians voted to reject Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf's overreach of executive powers after his failed COVID response - a clear sign of accountability coming in 2022.
Congratulations to Republicans for keeping our seats RED!

special election is apparently being conducted under the boundaries of the NEW district, despite being to finish the term of the congressman who was elected in 2020.
PA state Sen. Daylin Leach (D), who reps a safe seat in MontCo, is trailing Amanda Cappelletti by 18 points. Dems have been trying to push Leach out for years over sexual harassment allegation.
The staying power argument is ridiculous. Gabbard or Bennet or Patrick didn’t have more staying power, they just kept running tiny-footprint campaigns on tiny budgets for a long time that no one caree about.
Everyone from Julian Castro to Cory Booker to Deval Patrick to Tulsi Gabbard to Elizabeth Warren to Pete Buttigieg, to Amy Klobuchar to Andrew Yang to Tom Steyer to Michael Bennet had more appeal and staying power than Harris. But now we are told she is unbeatable?

Sen. Graham: “I think people in South Carolina are excited about Judge Barrett. I don’t know how much it affected fundraising today, but if you want to help me close the gap…I think the contest in South Carolina has taken on sort of a national profile.”
Clinton won it 48-47, Biden has it 52-46. Looks like one of Trump's biggest backslides.
Why did it flip so hard? I have a theory. Monroe County is heavily dependent on tourism, both summer and winter, as well as seasonal summer camps.
Returns are coming in for Minnesota, and it’s not good for Sanders: in Hennepin County, former Vice President Joe Biden is leading by 2 points. Part of Sanders’ path in the state was running up a massive margin in Minneapolis, but it seems to have been wiped out by the suburbs.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper was reelected by 4.5% against Lt. Governor Dan Forest. Cooper won the usual Dem leaning districts and just narrowly missed district 8.
