At the Gillespie County Election Office the election administrator and her entire staff resigned today in Fredericksburg, Texas, following threats and stalking by election deniers, conspiracy theorists and “people who are pretty fanatical and radical,” according to a report by the Fredericksburg Standard’s Brent Burgess. This is in a county that voted 79% for DT. Texas Republicans have had control of elections now for decades and the Election Administrator in Texas have done a very good job. It is so ridiculous that these radical cult followers of DT are making life miserable for people just trying to do their job and know what they are doing. This has got to stop!
Thank you for mentioning some things tonight that I had not seen elsewhere, such as the little facts about Microsoft and Ireland (being a Seattle-area reader, my antennae are always out for news on those barely significant Washington companies like Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon and Starbucks, and the tricks they are up to).
Thanks for articulating the specific details and benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act and we and the Democrats have to start talking about it everyday. I have started today sending emails and posting comments like “Did you know the Inflation Reduction Act creates an average Medicare enrollee an average cost reduction per enrollee of $800 per year.? I did not know that either. “. If everyone reading Today.’s Edition sent and posted just one detail of the plan a day to ten friends to spread the word we can combat the Republican misinformation campaign . Take the points in Today’s Edition as a guideline. and spend the next week being a Information Ambassador and getting the word out. We have momentum and we need to keep pushing. Please take the time and let’s get the word out.
The irony is palpable: the supporters of Blue Lives Matter attack our FBI. Just as they attacked and harmed the capitol hill police. Lets ask Gym Jordan and the Freedom Caucus to clarify just which police it is that they support? Wouldn't other police and crime fighters like to know who's got their back?

Have a lovely dinner...or three!
What a relief to have a through line of the FBI search. It is through pinpointing we can see the change. Thanks for that!
Also, H. Arendt points out that those losing power use violence, remembering who you are is a plus.
I liked what you wrote yesterday about climate activists coming from everywhere. When my kids were young I blogged the Waimea Ocean Film Festival -- it was great, about climate, sports, and I met leaders of island nations whose land was being enveloped in sea water, but also those who were cleaning and finding business by keeping their nations clean, raising fish habitat, that kind of thing. This was real movement. The leader of this film festival gave a speech she wouldn't let anyone film but these words rang clear, "If we are not part of the first wave we will be part of the second" She was talking about climate change. The festival began with five people and a five star chef in her house...and grew with luminaries coming from all over the world. Her vision (and she is a single parent) inspired me and Sundance invited Tania Howard's festival to London.
I read the comment from another reader, about Fredericksburg, TX. The same thing happened, last month, here in Prescott, AZ. The conservative Republican Recorder of Yavapai County and the Director of Elections both resigned, saying there had been a uptick in harassment from election deniers-even around their homes.
It was my understanding that the agents took his two government passports (one being a diplomatic one) because as a former President he was no longer eligible to use them. I am certainly not defending him but it might shed some light on whether he’s a flight risk or not.
I was so excited about the ability of the government to negotiate drug prices, how ever I’m pretty sure that my somewhat obscure medication will not be among the 100 medication’s that they negotiate so I will continue buying this medication from Canada, because as a retiree, the Medicare pharmacy plans want me to pay $1750 every three months for this medication
Trump had three passports? How? Why? I’ve heard reports that one was a diplomatic passport that he should have returned on abandoning the White House. Such a passport should never have been issued to him, because he was never a diplomat, and never diplomatic. In any event, any passports should be held, because he is clearly a flight risk. He should be on an ankle monitor, too.

Why does he have 3 passports? What countries?

You two make me so pleased to be in your orbit. Happy anniversary again to both of you!
Happy Anniversary! Fred and I just celebrated 42 with all our kids- let’s highlight the love in our lives!

To steal a phrase from an NPR business program, you explain news "for the rest of us". Thanks.
Happy 41st anniversary to you two awesome people… what a team! Enjoy that candy apple red truck! Happy happy anniversary!

Congratulations and Bon Appetit <clink>
Congratulations and thank you for doing this yeoman's job. It settles me down every night despite the oft shocking news
