Allow me to explain: At the beginning of this year, it seemed pretty cut and dry. Joe Biden's approval ratings were down, inflation was high. Then Dobbs happened. I started out skeptical of the Dobbs effect. independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…
Meanwhile, I am still torn about whether candidates matter or elections are more about fundamentals. Herschel Walker and JD Vance prove that even weak candidates can out perform given the partisan makeup of their state and national environment. independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…
What is the best song about each swing state for tomorrow? Putting together a playlist
For #NCSen: Raise up! Take Your Shirt off, Twist it 'round your head! Spin it like a helicopter by @DaRealPetey
@DaRealPetey For #OHSen, a namesake song for @TimRyan's hometown, Youngstown, which is incidentally becoming redder and the song kind of explains the desolation that motivated the WWC to vote for Trump.
Rest in Peace Lois Curtis, the namesake behind LC v Olmstead, the landmark case that opened the floodgates for independent living. I wrote about her and Elaine Wilson in my book. Thank you. harpercollins.com/products/were-…
Plenty of people who advocted for more self-determination have died in recent years. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who wrote Olmstead, died in 2020. Julie Beckett, who pushed for home care, died earlier this year. Ruth Christ Sullivan died last year. They sparked a magnificent movement
It is somewhat bittersweet that Lois Curtis died independently and freely when she pushed so hard. But the promise of home care has never been fully realized and it remains chronically underfunded.
I am legitimately so sorry. I was not trying to mislead. I am legitimately embarrassed and humiliated. I never wanted to do anything malicious. I am so apologetic. I should have double-checked the dates.
We are taking the article down. I cannot apologize enough. I should have double-checked triple-checked dates.
I am mortified and legitimately embarrassed. I want to thank @JeremyRedfernFL for flagging. And apologize to Governor DeSantis and Justice Thomas. This is a horrible error on my part.
