Follow up on the Cat 5 hurricane that struck Acapulco with practically no warning.

Ugh. I hate that separation of church and state is not an actual thing. ::sighs in atheist:: As a Christian, it bothers me too. We are not meant to be a Christian nation.

I’m a little late but I’m holding all of our impacted members in my heart. 💔 Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of our shooting and one of my survivor friends was literally taking down our memorial when this hit the news. So I’ve been reaching out to them.

New York House Republicans are going to try to expel Santos next week I don't have a lot of faith in this. As with Paxton, it feels more performative than anything.

I am completely baffled that there are Dems that voted for this.

Manchin doesn't surprise me. Some of the others, I can only guess polling of constituents told them voting the other way was very unpopular. (Kelly and Brown being the two where that would make the most sense to me.)

(Kelly and Brown being the two where that would make the most sense to me.) True. And I do get that mandates are now seen as extremely controversial, I just don't like the idea of prohibiting public areas from being able to enact public health measures as needed.

(Kelly and Brown being the two where that would make the most sense to me.) With the exceptions of Kaine, those are swing state seats. And in Kaine's defense, I don’t trust Virginia voters anymore after 2021

Obligatory fuck Glen Youngkin I feel like I should actually use the desktop site for once, just to add that phrase to my signature. So that it shows up on every single post. Because fuck Glenn Youngkin.

Rep Jared Golden (D) of Maine says he will now support an assault rifle ban. He hadn't in the past because he wanted to protect his daughter and wife and had a false confidence that (Lewiston) community was above this
He said humility is called for in a time like this and leaders are forced to grapple with issues greater than himself. He also says it was a misjudgment to oppose assault rifles, will work with any congress person, and apologizes to his constituents and asks for forgiveness.

Well on Reddit (huge grain of salt) it sounds like it’s a home connected to his family. Maybe his brother and not a full time residence. And maybe that his family convinced him to go there.

Per CNN law enforcement has surrounded the suspects house. Local news just reported they were told they are issuing search warrants and everything they are saying is standard procedure for the safety of everyone. I doubt he is there. It is his brothers house.

It is his brothers house. I hope they get him and this part can be over soon. It’s scary to have him on the run.

Like, how has a manhunt this massive and this intense not managed to find this fucking guy yet!? They do believe that he is very familiar with the woods in the area and could be hunkered down in the woods. He could have food and other supplies stashed. I also think it’s possible he jumped into the Androscoggin River. It’s large enough you could lose your life that way. The police did find a note in his home but are not releasing any information about it.

I'm getting increasingly concerned about Brown's re-election based on no actual information and just my growing sense of overall dread surrounding 2024.

It seems, to me, that Ohio is getting redder and redder. Not really swing anymore. I hope he can win it, but I don't have high hopes.

If he has extensive military training hiding in the woods for an extended period of time would not seem out of the realm of possibility to me.

It seems, to me, that Ohio is getting redder and redder. Not really swing anymore. I hope he can win it, but I don't have high hopes. Yeah it definitely has overall. We have blue pockets but red parts have gotten redder. It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. In his last election (which was 2018 and a lifetime ago) he won with 53% while Dewine won with 50%. So there were people who voted for both which is mind boggling to me. I do wonder how being an incumbent with the strong backing of the party will effect his outcome vs the Vance/Ryan outcome. And the area I'm in is so strongly blue that I forget how the majority of the state feels.
