Georgia Republicans may not certify the election results

The election will be ugly. Republicans will do everything to prevent Harris from winning regardless of the results at the ballot box.

Lawyers who spoke on behalf of a new rule in front of the GA state board of elections this week are already suggesting there is legal justification both for entire election boards and individual election board members to refuse to certify elections https://t.co/gkdLyDvBZb pic.twitter.com/ENwbehvtIU

In addition to their scheme to change Georgia election rules to benefit Trump, the MAGA operation is attacking Georgia elections on multiple fronts. https://t.co/cHLz75668O

One of the most under reported stories of this election cycle is that the State of Georgia spent taxpayer money to build a website to allow people to REMOVE voters from the voter rolls. It is an outrage and straight up voter suppression. pic.twitter.com/cMXOOZmxu0

Wow. The hits just keep coming in Georgia, where unelected officials are willing to sell their states election in exchange for the prospect of jobs in a new Trump administration. https://t.co/LkxmWPrNed

Excellent tweets on how GOP extremism has left an opening for Democrats

Trump has taken Republicans so far off the deep end as to leave the American mainstream wide open

Harris and Democrats spent this effective convention claiming it – on broadly-shared values, on decency, on love of country

An important thread: 🧵Something happened at the DNC that will be written about for years. Donald Trump has given up traditional Republican ground, and the Democrats and Kamala snatched it up.

Trump gave up being the defense candidate by becoming weak and panicked, and…

How can Republicans say they are pro-police after 1/6 when they attacked cops?
Republicans can’t say they are anti-Russia since their nominee is very pro-Putin
Republicans can’t say they are pro-military since Trump said soldiers who gave their lives are suckers and he evaded the war
Republican judges got rid of Roe. The majority of the country opposed this
The majority also supports increased gun regulations while the GOP doesn’t

Democrats did a good job of showing how the GOP is out of step with American values.

Trump is antisemitic

We have seen this over and over again. He’s a bigot.

Is there any negative precedent for a political leader appointing himself as the adjudicator of Jewish identity and suggesting that those he disapproves of "go out"? https://t.co/iUs7q7GQbl
— Philip Bump (@pbump) August 22, 2024

Trump believes he’s entitled to support from Jewish Americans. When he doesn’t get it, he immediately defaults to the Bad Jew trope — normalizing antisemitism in a way that endangers Jews, all of us, and our democracy.

No matter your party, call this out if you care about Jews. https://t.co/2JDxv04J0S

Oh look, it's Donald Trump, "friend of the Jews," introducing a Holocaust denier.

Neat. https://t.co/W4tQiuT4jX
— Bill Prady ⚛️ (@billprady) August 21, 2024

Broadly, Trump's take on Jews and antisemitism is:

1) Standard stereotypes of Jews (clannish, greedy, dual loyalty) are true but — in a good way.
2) Standard "globalist puppet-masters" conspiracy theories are true but he doesn't specifically center Jews as the actors.
3) He…

I am Jewish. I also consider @JoshShapiroPA to be a friend. If you are one of my Jewish friends who still refuses to acknowledge the antisemitism of Trump and still suggests you might vote for him over @KamalaHarris, THE TIME IS NOW TO CHANGE!!!https://t.co/UGVfg6Ctl9
— Fred Guttenberg (@fred_guttenberg) August 22, 2024

I assume that those of Trump’s supporters who are so very alert to any hint of antisemitism anywhere on the fringes of the left, have been stepping up to criticize his “Jewish governor” tweet.

It couldn’t be that all their hyper-ventilating hasn’t been entirely in good faith?
— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) August 22, 2024

Josh Shapiro refuses to be Trump's talking point on antisemitism: "Trump is the least credible person to listen to when it comes to hate&bigotry and certainly antisemitism. He's trying to use me. He's trying to use other Jews to divide Americans further."https://t.co/Zd8ZaxIb6k

One day after sliming Harris as “anti-Jewish,” Trump praises an antisemite who believes the Black Panther film was a conspiracy involving an “agnostic Jew” that was “created to pull the shekels” from the pockets of Black people. https://t.co/wM5uJ5XpYb

Former President Trump has targeted the three most prominent Jewish Americans in politics, as well as Jews who vote for Democrats, as both parties try to reinforce their standing with Jewish voters. https://t.co/vFddr5v7tN

Tweet and video on the Westinghouse sign in Pittsburgh

I went to the University of Pittsburgh and remember the Westinghouse sign well.

Did you know the Westinghouse Sign was a trailblazer in more ways than one? Installed in 1967, it was the first computer-controlled sign in the world! Its neon-lit "W" logo was made up of 81 parts and could display 120 unique light patterns, creating endless mesmerizing sequences… pic.twitter.com/SaBygotrla

Polls show support for a federal right to abortion

“In an eye-popping new Kaiser Family Foundation poll of 3,901 reproductive-age women, 74% opposed leaving abortion up to the states — including 53% of the Republicans in the poll. Nearly half of the Republican women supported a federal right to abortion.” https://t.co/6LZw9ocBME

To put this in perspective: Similar measures got 57% in Michigan and Ohio.

And one got 67% in California in 2022.

ChiChi Rodriguez and Devo?
The Three Stooges and the Stooges?

I didn’t know!

I'm not kidding that the beloved Puerto Rican golf star Chi Chi Rodriguez, who recently died at age 88, was on the cover of the first 1978 Devo album "Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!" https://t.co/UQE1RCT0eK
