Our polls close in 14 minutes... I'm trying to patiently wait and refresh like it's going to update. Too much time watching national polls. Lol. I have some anxiety too.

We're watching the Bucks/Wizards game and the Wizards are all pink for I assume cherry blossoms? It started a conversation about cherry blossoms and spring. A little jealous of that right now as we deal with the last (I hope) winter storm of the year.

I am so relieved. This win is HUGE. Not just for abortion, but also for voter rights and FAIR MAPS.

It’s the second time he’s gotten his ass whooped by a woman for this position. He lost to justice Karofsky by 10 percentage points in 2020 🤣

Unfortunately Dan Knodl was also elected, giving the GOP a super majority. Knodl has hinted at impeachment for Judge Janet.

Why is Lindsay Graham morphing into a Trump look a like? (spoiler tagged to protect those who wish to save their eyes)

Good news for Lincoln primary. Looking at the numbers, the turn out to support the mayor needs to be there in May. Far too close for the senator who is running the other side of the ticket and is voting with the hate-filled majority.

G8ft link so anyone can read. 'Frederick County Sheriff Charles Austin Jenkins was accused in a federal indictment of securing machine guns that were requested for his agency but, prosecutors say, were instead funneled to a local business that rented out the weapons. Jenkins, who was first elected to the Maryland county in 2006 and reelected last year, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements along with Robert Justin Krop, the owner of firearms-related businesses in Frederick, prosecutors announced Wednesday.' wapo.st/3m3n7Ot

I was in WI for three days this last week and the Kelly ads about sent me over the edge. Congrats to all the Sconnies on his loss and on not needing to listen to those commercials anymore.

I've rotated between angry and sad the last 24 hrs. Our school vote refurendum that I worked on didn't pass. I don't know why I was cautiously optimistic, the county overwhelmingly voted for Darren Bailey for governor, they clearly aren't worried about our children. We might try again in the future, but when the people we interacted with said things like "all Superintendents and school board members are criminals" it's hard to think it could be different. People made up their mind before learning any facts when they saw the work "tax".

Anyone in NC have a sense of what is going on with Rep. Cotham? The twitter rumors are she was paid off, she’s being blackmailed, she’s having an affair with the GOP speaker, and that the Dems hurt her feelings. No idea what to think, but it is strange since was more progressive than moderate.

Y’all our governor sign a bill yesterday making gender affirming care for minors illegal. The Idaho aclu is filing suit. I’m really upset since I have friends who will be directly impacted
If you have any of the same leg in your states be warned one right wing policy person paid 5k for robo calls to urge signing into the gov office. Most Idahoans had a hard time getting thru to state opposition and to urge a veto. So if you’re involved start planning your response now.
ACLU response
