I am against AI in journalism but this story could be written by AI. Because it has been the same story for decades, just program algorithm to change date and first name of KDP/PUK leaders as necessary.

10s of 1000s of Mississippians turned up to vote on Tuesday to find they'd been purged from the rolls. Faulty data from Experian had been used. No prize for guessing what skin colour these folks have.

Apparently Reinhard Heydrich wasn’t available.
Trump: "I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

We live in an age of listicles. Some day I will make up a list of the ten most impactful assassinations of my lifetime. Choosing between Rabin and JFK for first place will be very difficult
Has a winner been declared in Mississippi? I know their educational system is poor but surely they can count faster than this
Look, I'm going to enjoy this high at least until Miss'ippi is called for the Democrat but Hakeem the not dream needs to read the room.
“🇺🇸 people don't want us to get even, they want us to get things done…”
Who’s gonna tell @RepJeffries holding crooks accountable isn’t about “getting even”, it’s about preserving our democracy?
Is this what he talked about with Kushner?
@TheDemocrats don’t blow this
Israeli party/list leaders are meeting with Pres. Herzog today to discuss whoo he will give first"mandate" to form a new govt. Some historical context from me here,,,👇

They're still counting in Mississippi but I tell you if Scott Colom wins Senate seat, first Black man since Reconstruction to do so, I'm going to the nearest liquor store, buying a bottle of whiskey, and shutting down for the day. Even if they call the race before noon.
How do you say chutzpah in Spanish? The polls haven't even closed and I just had a 5 page memo from AOC's press people and here are the final two paras.

Overnight I had notice from my polling place in Pennsylvania that my absentee ballot was received + a link to click after polls close to make sure it was counted. Thnx, Governor Josh Shapiro & team for staying on top of things to preserve and protect the integrity of the ballot.

"Objectivity" does not lift NYT editors above their responsibilities as citizens of a republic in crisis. The current crew don’t seem to understand. Under them “Without Fear or Favor” has morphed into “Fearful of Showing Favoritism.”
