Pope Francis. I bought a little magnet with his photo on it, in an airport today, not knowing /1

Looks like Mississippi's attempt to suppress the Black vote is failing, just as all the other Republican suppression tactics have failed to stem the Democratic Blue Tsunami. This is all the more proof that God does not like ugly. And apparently, neither do Black voters.

Voter suppression is still a very real issue in 2026. Just sit with that thought for a bit. #BlackVotesMatter

Hope you will sue.
Seems problematic that a poll worker can deliberately take away an American's constitutional right to vote in Mississippi just by "forgetting" to initial a ballot.

Mississippi Burning Politically
"Mississippi’s second most populous county rejected two-thirds of affidavit ballots in the state’s U.S. Senate race."
This is why so many Americans seek the protection of voting rights against rogue regimes and voted Republican out nationwide. They want an America that is not a politically stacked deck, where there is justice and fairness for all races, religions, and socioeconomic stratifications. This political farce is disgraceful.

🚨 👻 Unbelievably, in 2018 @cindyhydesmith said this! "GOP Senator Says Voter Suppression Is A 'Great Idea'": "There's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea." -- Jennifer Bendery @jbendery on Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R). huffingtonpost.com/entry/cin…

And that's not all! 👻 Also in 2018, @cindyhydesmith
made racially charged remarks at a campaign event in Tupelo, Mississippi. She said in a viral 10 second video that if the gentleman standing next to her “invited me to a public hanging I’d be on the front row.” The comments were met by laughter and applause. Later, Cindy Hyde-Smith said "just jokes". wjtv.com/news/local-news/cin…
Pick Another Senator! #ScottColom

BREAKING: Mississippi’s second most populous county rejected two-thirds of affidavit ballots in the state’s U.S. Senate race.
This comes after thousands had to cast affidavit ballots following a change in voter list maintenance procedures that marked them “inactive.” demdock.com/4iNF2BM

NEW: Javier Milei, who once called Pope Francis “the representative of evil on Earth,” fought back tears as he saw Pope Leo XIV off at Ezeiza airport on Wednesday.
Over four days, Leo had challenged Milei’s austerity agenda again and again, telling him to his face that “the economy must serve the person” and reminding his government that private property carries a “social mortgage.”
That morning, Leo had embraced inmates at Devoto prison, where Francis used to wash prisoners’ feet.
From the plane to Peru, the pope wrote that Argentina now has two popes, one by birth and one by adoption. thelettersfromleo.com/p/in-f…

the bride requested Ella Fitzgerald but I thought she said Edmund Fitzgerald and boy this is a long, awkward first dance

Javier Milei in tears, absolutely balling his eyes out, thanking Pope Leo XIV for his visit, as he asks the Pope repeatedly to pray for him.
This has been an incredibly well organised trip. Everyone involved should rightly be praised. Argentina you won.

The GOP’s moves after the midterms:
- Fired the White House Chief of Staff, who was the only somewhat competent person in the administration
- In her place, they promoted the guy that started the ICE raids, which singlehandedly shifted Hispanics 40 points to the left, to White House Chief of Staff
- Stood by their historically unpopular Defense Secretary, even while he was facing impeachment, making it basically politically impossible to fire him in the future
- On top of that, they named the craziest and least competent member of their House caucus to… be the minority leader
- Finally, they elected one of their worst performing candidates in 2024 to be the chair of their Senate campaign arm
It sure seems like they’re gonna turn it around for 2028!

They want to see what it feels like to have a 1932 style wave hit them.

Just fyi, as a few people have tagged me in this.
The site has already been identified and academically published by archaeologists.
Always gotta do a solid lit review before saying you’ve found something.
Update: the site had already been discovered. It appears in a 2025 paper by Estrada-Belli, Canuto, Šprajc & Fernandez-Diaz (page 14).

Beneath his campaign strategy and massive fundraising, Jon Ossoff spent years building relationships with Black church leaders in Georgia, who now call him a “once-in-a-lifetime” leader. This is the story of how Black churches helped turn Ossoff’s win into a rout. My @ajc column… ajc.com/politics/2026/11/pat…

ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

ALASKA: Mary Peltola's lead over Dan S. Sullivan has grown to 4,250 votes, which is more than the total votes Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. has received. (This will advance to ranked-choice voting if nobody cracks 50% outright.)

Sad news for the politics desk at the NYT. They were dead certain their smear job a week before the election would result in her loss. Oh well, they'll always have Hillary in 2016 🙃
