plenty of liberal cash available to help The Lincoln Project Bros buy second beach mansions, but apparently no cash to preserve one of the few nonprofit groups that spotlights all the money buying elections

SCOOP: OpenSecrets, the nonpartisan money-in-politics research nonprofit, laid off 10 employees yesterday due to financial difficulties. Much of the research team were among the casualties, which constituted around a third of the group’s total headcount. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

The Venn diagram of ‘people who worked in the service industry’ and ‘people who return their grocery cart no matter what’ is a circle.


Central time zone for the win

‘None of them family by blood, but all of them family by love.’ Harris’ life story is that of so many others.


The air traffic above our house tonight (Chicago, southside) is loud and unusual. We are pretty sure it’s Kamala Harris in an Osprey. DNC bringing all the strange noises!


Each tornado warning takes years off my life and also makes me realize how many Apple products I own as I rush to find and silence them all.


We live in impossible times.


I really enjoyed my time on the @LurieFavors show. Always invigorating to talk about democracy with smart people. art19.com/shows/this-is-…


Enjoying glowering at the Cubs fan as I head to my first ever Crosstown classic at Wrigley. I expect the baseball quality to be somewhere between the little leagues and the minors.

This and the whole thread it's in are 100% wrong. Any contribution over $1000 in the last 20 days before an election must be publicly reported within 48 hours.

Even if we assume, incorrectly, that it was a campaign expenditure, it wouldn't have been reported until 30 days after the election. But again, none of this got to the jury, either through testimony or the judge's instructions. /8



After 40 years of flying regularly I have finally experienced a flight where they announced that it was the pilot’s first day. And yes, they waited until we landed to announce that.


This is a good thing. EU rules are lightyears ahead of the US on this front and it's about time we caught up.

Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

Biden and Trump aren't setting records, but the money is definitely flowing in, and is likely accelerate as we get closer to November. I spoke with CBSB last week; clip is at 13:00 youtube.com/watch?v=EzjVw4…
