Was it really that long ago that Democrats represented the working man and woman? Ohio Dem says many in party ‘can’t understand’ working-class concerns. Here’s what’s scary. Tell me what this means.
Of the top 20 wealthiest districts, 19 are represented by Democrats. Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) district is the fourth-richest in the nation, according to Kaptur’s data.
How to pay off campaign debt? Use PAC money you said you wouldn’t take. Democrat Elaine Lauria said if elected she would not take PAC money for her campaign. She didn’t. She took PAC MONEY TO PAY OFF HER CAMPAIGN DEBT.
The liberal-leaning group End Citizens United, which tracks the lawmakers and candidates who pledge to reject corporate PAC donations, has criticized Luria’s about-face on the matter, as have Republicans.
Tiffany Muller, president and executive director of End Citizens United, said in a statement last year that Luria breaking her pledge “would demonstrate that her values have changed since she’s been in Washington or that she wasn’t sincere to voters in the first place. It will be a heavy burden on her to explain to voters why she is going back on her word.
Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer on Monday established a political committee to begin raising money for a possible run for governor, kicking off what could be a tumultuous year in California politics as Gov. Gavin Newsom faces the threat of a recall election.
A Republican hasn’t won a statewide election in the heavily Democratic state since 2006, and registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in California by nearly 2-to-1. But a recall election could attract dozens of candidates who would cut up the vote and lower the percentage needed to win, a scenario that could provide an opening for a Republican candidate in the Democratic-dominated state.
How funny is this? Hillary gets behind Dago Red Tim. So Hillary thinks Tim has what it takes. Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton threw her support behind Ryan’s possible Senate bid Saturday morning, doing so by quoting a tweet from Kathy DiCristofaro of the Ohio Democratic Party.
DiCristofaro, who chairs the Dems’ women’s caucus, said the state “needs” people like Ryan who “fight for working people,” and Clinton wholeheartedly agreed.
Maybe Tim can share his recipe with Hillary.
Rep. Tim Ryan is "seriously considering” running for U.S. Senate in 2022. Ohio needs leaders like @TimRyan to fight for working people. I’m all In! #AllinwithTim
.@JoeBiden in October: “I have this strange notion, we are a democracy … if you can’t get the votes … you can’t [legislate] by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We’re a democracy. We need consensus." pic.twitter.com/7UotJCXSm3
“I have this strange notion. We are a democracy,” Biden said with a smirk. “Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even occasionally say, ‘Well, if you can’t get the votes by executive order, you’re going to do something.’ Things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator,”
So we have what? 24-38 Executive orders or Memorandums. More than the last seven Presidents combined.
Let’s get real. This is the Joe and fauch show now. They own it. Over 20,000 new deaths since Joe and the fauch took over. So where’s our relief? Where’s our million vaccines a day? They’re still doing the Trump vaccines that were averaging close to a million a day. So since Joe and the fauch took over, nothings changed?
Isn’t the Biden-fauch plan working? If not, why not? Remember we were told that their brand of Science would do the trick. The Biden folks still haven’t got the remaining vaccine that President Trump left them out to the states. I believe the number is 15-30 million. Depending on who you ask.
For now judge stops Biden from allowing his base to stay here. Joe wanted to reward his faithful who voted for him. So he came up with a executive order to freeze all deportations ( including the ones who were convicted felons ). For now it’s been stopped.
Hours after taking office on January 20, Biden signed an executive order that halts deportations of most illegal aliens for at least 100 days. The order came as illegal immigration has spiked in recent months and a migrant caravan heads to the United States-Mexico border in the hopes of taking advantage of the Biden administration’s lax enforcement policies. We have this from the judge.
Defendants and all their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or participation with them are hereby ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from enforcing and implementing the policies described in the January 20 Memorandum in Section C entitled “Immediate 100- Day Pause on Removals.” [Emphasis added]
This TRO is granted on a nationwide basis and prohibits enforcement and implementation of the policies described in the January 20 Memorandum in Section C entitled “Immediate 100-Day Pause on Removals” in every place Defendants have jurisdiction to enforce and implement the January 20 Memorandum. [Emphasis added]
Why did this happen? Like Governors from a few other states, Cuomo by executive order decided to change the law. The law voted by a state legislature controlled by Democrats. This from FOX.
So for the first time in New York’s history, the county boards of elections were forced to contend with essentially three elections: early voting during a presidential year; running Election Day with a record turnout; and handling a record number of absentee ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic, involving figuring out how to “cure” any flawed ballots.
Many of the boards — especially Oneida County’s — didn’t do their jobs properly.
Oneida County, the district’s largest and centered around the city of Utica, saw election commissioners use sticky notes to keep track of the reasons why Tenney and Brindisi lawyers disputed dozens of ballots. But many of those sticky notes fell off, so for some it’s impossible to know whether a challenged ballot has been counted or not.
A full recount of disputed ballots in the eight counties in the congressional district has been completed. It shows former Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney defeating former Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi by just over 30 votes out of more than 311,000 cast.
But the recount is only one step in a grueling process that will probably keep the House seat vacant for weeks longer. On Monday, State Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte will begin going through 1,028 disputed ballots and rule on which should be counted.
Two weeks ago it was discovered that Oneida County’s elections board had failed to process 2,418 voter registration forms from voters who signed up on time through the Department of Motor Vehicles.
When many of those voters showed up at the polls they were told they weren’t registered. Hundreds left without voting, while some 300 filed provisional ballots that weren’t counted.
Now Justice DelConte says he will decide which of the new ballots will be counted. Whatever his ruling, it will be appealed. Ultimately, the closely divided House of Representatives controlled by Democrats will decide if it will seat the winner or conduct its own second-guessing investigation.
Here’s what’s sad. After the judge rules, there will still be an appeal.
