This is the map the nonpartisan Iowa redistricting office came up with: https://nitter.net/pic/media%2FE_amyPPUUAIGrYw.jpg%3Fname%3Dorig
1: Safe D (Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport and Dubuque all in one)
2: Likely R. (Ames and Waterloo, but everything else is pretty red)
3: Swing. Really a 50/50 district. But with the way the burbs are moving, I can see this getting more dem over the years. The majority of the population is going to be in Dallas and Polk counties
4: Safe R.
Holy cow, did anyone see this incredibly misleading tweet for ABC news?
They deliberately cut out Biden's "No", to make him sound like he likes the Taliban.
The media has fucking jumped the shark.

So apparently some nut job accosted a NBC news reporter who is Black, in Mississippi, and the reporter. Thankfully the reporter is ok.
He read a book on critical race theory to see what all his conservative coworkers were freaking out over, and he found that he actually agreed with it.
This is gonna be a shit show.

Those words don't mean what he thinks they mean.
Holy crap. Doug Jones aired this ad during halftime, calling Tuberville a quitter and a carpetbagger.

This Twitter-converted-into-Nitter thread explains how the move to remove NSFW content from OnlyFans due to pressure from major card companies not only threatens the livelihood of sex work but online freedom.

Here is their zoom training for phone and text banking training.

They had another one yesterday, and there were over a thousand people. I think they have all the text banking they need. They need more phone bankers. Lots of people in Georgia with only a landline they said.
Kinda saddened that this one exists and is coming out soon, probably filled with spoilers that I would've liked to hear from Pelosi's own self-made memoir.
Don't want to make anyone feel old, but here's some quick math for the lazy: That's 1980s to the present
Anyway, It's Even Worse Than It Looks is a good primer on how the hyperpartisanship of today generally began with Newt's Republican Revolution

It's extremely dense. Took me (a person who reads scientific papers as part of my job) a while to get through it. Extremely enlightening though.
The only way it could get more Florida is if she had one of this type of cup that everyone in Florida seems to have.
I've had this gerrymandering board game on my Amazon wish list for a while. I'm hoping after the election is over my wife will be willing to play it with me. She won't do anything politics related right now because it's too stressful for her.
I hate to be that person, but that's pretty bad in terms of audio. Lossy-lossy conversions will always result in a loss of quality. If you want the best quality, use JDownloader to download the AAC of the video. https://jdownloader.org/
I just ordered this book about voters swinging to Trump in Luzerne County, PA in 2016. The relationship between Trump and coal country isn't exactly a mystery after so much was written about it, but its still interesting to see some first person perspective.
Nice. I maxed out on the previous free offer. Recommend people sign up for it. The kits I got are among the best reviewed at home tests. Here's the same one on Amazon, 4.5 stars with 7k reviews.
So while you guys are waiting for results, I highly recommend giving this book a read, especially for the upcoming 2 years.
Fun fact from The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need.
>Invested in the S&P 500 only during Republican administrations since 1929, and excluding dividends, $10,000 would have grown to about $20,000 — versus about $600,000 if only invested during Democratic administrations.
Check our /r/personalfinance where they have some steps on how to ensure that you're investing when you should be (have emergency savings, Roth IRA, etc all set up.)
If you're past that step, welcome to the casino. I lost way too much in my first foray. Def better to stick with the well knowns. I stopped investing and starting reading books.
This is my favorite read. It went much further than anything I read online.
I find that a well-fitting one is not annoying. It’s when they don’t fit well, and slide around or irritate your ears or gap at your nose, that they become a pain in the, um, face. I get these K/N95 masks and they are great and very comfortable. (Also, the tie dye pattern is fun to wear, and I get to tell Lyft drivers to look for me in the pink or purple or tie-dye mask.)
You could get a feliway dispenser. Basically puts some calming pheromones in the air to help kitty relax and be less stressed.
