News -- > Rep Jamie Raskin is introducing a proposal today to require ranked choice voting in all congressional races. He's drawing attention to the idea even as corrupt Trump/GOP gerrymandering exposes current system's deep flaws.

Totally perplexed to find a Ross Douthat “Interesting Times” podcast in place of an @ezraklein.bsky.social episode. Insulted, actually. Just go on holiday, Ezra. Your fans might prefer a break to the option of listening to an idiot.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.
(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Even though we didn’t win in TN, the race was far closer than anyone expected. Incredible work, everyone!

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

#WorldAIDSDay We’ve lost do many friends & relatives to AIDS. Today we remember their talent & beauty & kindness. I was honored to be Rock Hudson’s date to a Lifetime Achievement Award. A gracious & lovely gentleman. We’ve lost so many, but also made so much progress #BeKind #ReachOut 💔

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I can NOT express how insane this is. A +22 Red district is now +2. If we can get the 3.5% of “Others” on Team Aftyn, she wins. We need to close a less than 2.5% of a gap. That’s not impossible. GO VOTE FOR @aftynbehn4tn
