1. Many of you have expressed concern/conveyed well wishes for my post-appendicitis health and I can't possibly say how much it meant to me individually so let this collective "thanks" suffice.

I also know many of you, like me, are concerned about the intense pain I still have

2. 2 weeks post-surgery. Esp concerning is that this pain became MUCH worse over the past 2 days, which led me to flee my sleepless night in my hotel room in DC this morning at 4am and make a mad dash back to coastal VA so I could return to the ER.

After spending 12 hrs today

3. getting poked, prodded, & violated in ways only Ken Cuccinnelli could think up, I am happy to report to you that every major organ in my torso is healthy as a horse- clocking in here at "mid-life." My appendix surgical area is getter better, not worse.

Yet, I continue to

@JoeNBC

1. Thank you @JoeNBC for providing the CRITICAL CONTEXT that the GOP majorities in PA, WI, and MI refused to allow the SAME early count of absentee ballots used in FL, where the GOP created vote-by-mail.

They did that to help Trump set up his Big Lie. They hoped the margins

2. would be close enough in those states that they could then gum up those hostage ballots, challenge them, perhaps win another Bush v Gore style court challenge.

This was INTENTIONAL strategic planning involving a host of Republican leaders, pols, party figures, & Trump.

3. I should also add, this is why millions of Trump voters tout the lie of "Trump was winning those states and all the sudden hundreds of thousands of ballots show up?" Those ballots had been held hostage for weeks. People need to stop burying their heads in the sand about GOP

@WillieGeist

1. Yes- as @WillieGeist just explained, when we were kids there was NO MENTION of the Tulsa massacre but there WAS a whole chapter on John Brown's "raid" on Harper's Ferry.

In fact, I had no idea about Tulsa until Juneteenth became popularized which was the result of media

2. diversification. Also from efforts across America to remove the "Lost Cause" narrative that proliferated K-12 curriculum for decades across the South. In fact, even my modern college students in the South (across 3 institutions) showed up w a "Lost Cause" spin to American

3. American history, often pushing back at the notion that the Civil War was about slavery & not "state's rights." State's rights being a whitewashed, spin euphemism to allow for a "politically correct" dog whistle for "maintaining slavery" and later, "maintaining segregation."

@HillaryClinton

1. The 1st of SIX Benghazi Committees was convened in the House in May of 2014-nearly TWO YRs after the event which occurred 9/11 of 2012.

It wasn't convened to find truth bc that was already known. It was convened to target the D Party's likely 2016 p nominee @HillaryClinton

2. However, in pursuit of the "norm of objectivity" & there never-ending effort to dispel the Right's narrative of media bias, the media covered each of these 6 committees as legit "fact-finding" missions, even after McCarthy publicly admitted its purpose (to political damage

3. Clinton) in 2015. As I demonstrated in my book on the 2016 election, they were facing the probability of running against a VERY popular former S of S. Even 2 years out from Benghazi, Clinton polled well.

Something had to be done!

@davidshor

I have to say that I like @davidshor & we are friendly bc we agree on a lot, ESP that you don't win via policy extremism.

But the idea Ds don't already do ⬇️ AND lose winnable races is just WRONG.

It isn't innovation- it's status quo.

And it's nowhere close to enough

The Cult of Rachel

If you ain't winning, you're losing.

I'll add that "talking about popular stuff" won't help you if you don't put it into a threat/stakes context. That is "me" not "we" framed. And don't make the case that the GOP is the thing keeping the voter from having it.
