TheFriendlyStateNews.com will have Excel 1 and 2 and FOI 1 and 2 classes in December! Intro classes will be on Dec. 18, second sessions will be Dec. 19.
All of the sessions are $15.
Learning FOI and Excel in journalism school literally changed my entire life and I swear to god these skills should not cost $50K to learn.

I will teach you all of these skills for sixty total dollars, over two days.
Does this replace j-school? Obviously not. I loved j-school! It is great for a lot of people. But these skills - these lil bite size skills - should not require j-school.
Links up to register for all four training sessions tomorrow morning!

SO STOKED that people are enrolling in these, guys. This has been the absolute most fun thing to create. Thanks for helping me.

It is freaking shocking that someone like Bill Maher can let a former governor say something like this unchallenged. Of course you cannot *only* vote by mail in these three states, that wouldn't be possible. It is not possible to vote *only* by mail. It's not even logical.
Christie is making full throated claims about the way voting works in three separate states and he is flatly incorrect. He has written a book. He has literally RUN FOR PRESIDENT. It is ridiculous - ridiculous - that neither Christie nor Maher knows this.
Journalists (Maher is not a journalist, so let's say - anyone who asks someone powerful a question about voting on television or the media in general) should fucking know how voting works before they allow people to talk about it. This is base level stuff here.

Took me three days but, here’s the most detailed accounting so far of how Cleta Mitchell ended up on the board of advisors for a federal elections agency. votebeat.org/2021/11/19/227…
New here: discussion of Mitchell’s qualifications took place over email and outside of public view. Commissioners almost avoided saying her name in the meeting today, where one democratic commissioner accused J Christian Adams of hiding his financial ties to Cleta Mitchell.
Notably, each commissioner on this commission employees a full-time research assistant whose job it is to prepare them for meetings and for votes. Their business relationship is not a secret. Not even an open secret. It’s just…out there.

Some news: Three (3) years ago @drdesrochers and I covered a *slew* of misdeeds by Kentucky Sec. of State Allison Lundergan Grimes for @propublica and @heraldleader. Today, she and her deputy COS have been formally charged with ethic violations by the state ethics board.
The board has alleged that Allison Lundergan Grimes, once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, instructed staff to steal information from the public voter file and then gave that information at no cost to candidates of her choice.
Her deputy, Erica Galyon, has been charged with instructing staff to provide information to Lundergan's attorneys through an open records request and then later deny the same information to a "member of the news media."

That member of the news media was me.
