Please tune in tomorrow at 1:30 PM ET on @theappeal Facebook and Twitter pages. Let’s not forget Trump’s rush to execute human beings in a lame duck session. Something that has not been done in over 100 years.

My experience as a 20-year-old poll watcher in Florida that night confirms @GalvinAlmanza's take here. Pregnant chads. Butterfly ballots. Accidental votes for Pat Buchanan. We can't again trade a prompt result for an accurate one.

Fave clip from #TheCount tonight on @theappeal and @nowthisnews is @AlanaSivin, @jaywillis and me watching @DanRather calling the 2000 election for Bush... on Election night. Newscasters of today, please please please abandon the idea of calling the election on election night.

This is absolutely fascinating. A peaceful transition of power is by no means a given. We all need to get ahead of the evil plot to steal the presidency.

President Trump has refused to commit to accepting the election results or a peaceful transition of power. Today on #TheCount, we’ll discuss what this means as Election Day approaches. pscp.tv/w/ck4V0jFvUEVM…

Want to buy stamps for incarcerated folks to stay connected to their community, civically engaged, and even file their 1040s so they're not delinquent when they get out? Want to buy a crib for a mama who was living in a shelter and has now found a home?

Please go easy on your Californian friends and colleagues today! They are dealing with this right now:


In my capacity as a 13-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Public Defender's office, I fully endorse this thread.

Florida primaries are next week (voting is well underway) & for anyone who cares about criminal justice, there are major battles on the battle that could upend policies around incarceration & policing. I'm counting 7 prosecutor & sheriff races you should watch. A brief thread.



What Emily says is totally true! Also, no commercials.

It occurred to me, as I prepped today's show, that The Briefing is basically the single easiest, most engaging, exciting, and efficient way to stay fully up to date on new legislation and policy. It makes everyone (including, maybe especially me) smarter.



I've been looking forward to this forum for 27 years!

Two candidates are vying for the position of Florida State Attorney for Miami-Dade County. Joining The Briefing today is candidate Melba Pearson, former deputy director of the @ACLUFL who previously served in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office for 16 years. LIVE @theappeal

These products used to haunt me at the Indian grocery store. Nice name change, but what about the ingredients? Either it was a fraud the whole time, or it's still whitening skin with chemicals. YUCK.
