This is a wonderful opportunity to explain the difference between *election* fraud, which happens, is what Dan is talking about, and would not be solved by Voter ID, and *voter* fraud, which does not happen to any meaningful degree such that it's worth it to enact a poll tax
The fantasy that nobody would ever do this & no election would ever be decided by fraud collides with the reality that people get convicted for doing this & elections get overturned by courts due to fraud every few years.

It's almost certainly correct for Duke to sue to enforce a contract but I'm genuinely curious how they're going to claim to have an enforceable performance contract with someone who isn't a school employee
10 examples of the college football transfer mess: - The top 10 high school QB recruits in 2024 have transferred colleges a total of 11 times in 2 years. Only 1 is still with his original team. - Iowa State had 55 players enter the portal and 16 graduate this year. Every

Good example of how the most infuriating red district Dems are better than the best Republican
Only a handful of the 600+ discharge petitions in the history of Congress have ever earned enough signatures to force a vote. Mine is now one of them. It’s a major accomplishment, but the ultimate goal still remains: We must reverse Trump’s executive order which represents the

"Begs the question" is a very useful, concise name for a common argumentative fallacy (or, more often, deliberate tactic). People should stop misusing it to mean "raises the question."

I mean this completely earnestly: please explain to me how this doesn't warrant immediate excommunication from any form of Christianity even tangentially related to the teachings of the New Testament
We should only help people who can’t help themselves. It’s outrageous 40MM people get food stamps. Get off your fat, ghetto asses. Get a job. Stop reproducing. Change your shitty culture. Stop giving food stamps to immigrants. We don’t want you here, if you won’t work.

My deepest political desire is for Ayanna Pressleys Senate campaign to say "I don't want the country to look like Tom Cottons Arkansas" and just see what happens
I don’t want to see the country look like California. I think the country needs to look a whole lot more like Iowa! That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate.

This is not a prediction but I do not think we're prepared for what an electorate so heavily polarized around engagement and education will look like in practice
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED IOWA'S #SD01 (Trump+11), BREAKING THE REPUBLICAN SUPERMAJORITY IN THE STATE SENATE: Catelin Drey (D)- 54.5% Christopher Prosch (R)- 45.5%

As we mark 60 years since the Voting Rights Act, we’re still fighting the same battle. The tactics of voter suppression may look different, but the intent remains the same. My legislative package breaks down barriers to the ballot, expands youth pre-registration, and secures

Literally Kevin Stitt's predecessor left office with an 18-19% approval rating heavily related to massive cuts to education.

Education funding has yet to bounce back from the recession in many states. But nowhere is the situation more dire than in Oklahoma.

My "this isn't the hunger games" t shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
The Department of Homeland Security is considering being part of a television show in which immigrants would compete for potential U.S. citizenship. “This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” says the producer, whose credits include "Duck Dynasty." https://t.co/uQicE6nZsH

Black Americans have made countless contributions to secure the promise of civil rights in our history, achievements that should be honored and celebrated by all. It’s evident that if history and programs don’t align with Donald Trump and his agenda, he immediately cuts them,
