A Latino prison guard who voted for Clinton and Biden told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing he voted for Trump yesterday because “Democrats make me feel bad about who I am.”
I'm not sure what he means, but it reminded me of this:

"The cliché is voters judge politicians based on their likability. The deeper question isn’t how much voters like a politician, but whether they believe a politician likes them." — @EzraKlein vox.com/2020/8/21/2138…
I don't think the majority of my party "hates Trump voters," but in the interest of winning elections, too many do. Image
On my way to Kamala Harris’s concession speech, I came across this young man directing traffic. He kindly allowed me to take his photo. It’s a fitting snapshot of this election. Image

If you're a Catholic who is supporting @KamalaHarris to be the 47th president of the United States, I hope you'll join us on Tuesday.

Warning: if you come to this meeting, Donald Trump will say you're a traitor to the shared faith of our ancestors. Image
Also, please forgive my fourth-grade graphic design skills. My designer is on vacation, so I was left to my own devices and five minutes to make it happen.

The Irish have come a long way in this great country.

It was an honor to spend St. Patrick’s Day with President Biden and friends at the White House. Image
President Biden started tearing up as the violinists played his favorite hymn: “On Eagle’s Wings.”
I think every American Catholic has been to a funeral — myself included — where this hymn has touched our hearts.

Father Mychal Judge — the first recorded death at Ground Zero on September 11 — is on the pathway to becoming the first openly gay saint in the history of the Catholic Church.⁣ ⁣ He died as he lived: ministering to the suffering as a firefighter, patriot, priest, and saint.⁣ Image
As Mychal rushed into the North Tower with firefighters, the Mayor called out, "Father Mike, pray for us!" The priest responded, "I always do! I always pray for you!"⁣
When commanders gave orders to evacuate the building, he refused to abandon the firefighters still trapped inside saying to the lead, "My work here isn’t finished."⁣ Other priests came Ground Zero, but Mychal was the only one to actually enter the World Trade Center.

The national right-wing attack on Tennessee Democrats has begun in earnest today.

First Matt Walsh and now Tucker Carlson have outrageously accused @Justinjpearson of doing “verbal blackface.”
Matt Walsh is the one who accused Pearson of “doing blackface” first. Now Tucker is coming in tonight with the same argument. This will be the new GOP talking point.

They’re not criticizing the GOP’s own goal. They’re doubling down on the nonsense.
Follow @abughazalehkat and @JasonSCampbell for all the outrageous right wing content, so you don’t have to watch it live yourself.

With Speaker Sexton's statement below, it's now official — the three most powerful officials in Tennessee's GOP supermajority government have offered support for red flag gun laws. Image
I have a prediction that something similar will happen in Kentucky in the coming days as well. Tennessee and Kentucky might (shockingly) lead the way on red flag laws throughout the South.
My party will rightly be skeptical that the Republicans are acting in good faith here, but this is — without a doubt — momentum.
