@ChrisMegerian @emptywheel If there is still a 50-50 vote, despite a Dem majority, does the VP still get to break the tie?
English
For two years, Vice President Harris has been on standby in case she’s needed to break a tie in an evenly divided Senate.
Now Democrats’ victory in Georgia will give her some breathing room apnews.com/article/kamala…

I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about the case SCOTUS will hear today: Moore vs. Harper.
If Ginni’s best friend and four partisan hacks agree, corrupt state legislatures will control the outcome of all future elections.
And democracy is done.

@SusieqOUmomalum @hiltzikm @djrothkopf Manchin can't do it all on his own. It takes at least 40 other (GOP) senators. Don't play the "only Manchin" card. All GOP senators let it happen too.

Agree. What does it say about those who voted against the bill?
Dr. Andria C. Schwortz@aschwortz
Without this law, if SCOTUS overturned Obergefell (same-sex marriages) or Loving (interracial marriages), any states banning same sex marriages (currently 31) or miscegenation (currently 0) wouldn’t have to acknowledge such marriages from other states.

@litprof2 @ContractJames @MuellerSheWrote My basis is that the statute of limitations have expired on known crimes committed by Trump and associates (e.g. Michael Cohen's Unindicted Co-Conspirator #1).

@ContractJames @MuellerSheWrote On what basis are you assuming two more years will go by without the DoJ moving forward? The major Watergate convictions (Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman) didn’t happen until 1/1/75, almost 2 1/2 years after the break-in. Look at the trials happening now & the sentences resulting.

@aschwortz I guess think about the big bang. We see two areas of the sky that cannot be causally connected to each other but they are causally connected to us. I would say they are in the same universe.
English
@danielwlogan I think you’re saying if you can’t test a hypothesis, it’s not in a universe. But I mean if you find two spots where you can test a hypothesis, are those two spots in the same universe?
English
Maybe someone can help with this great existential question I got from a student today: How do you define “universe”? Especially in the context of other universes potentially having different laws of physics, so we can’t say “the space and time that contains stars and galaxies.”
English
@aschwortz Have we found anything resembling a sub-universe where we haven't been able to make hypotheses on that scale?
English
@danielwlogan Ooh, I like! How do we distinguish when something is a separate universe, vs. a subset of a universe (e.g., a galaxy, or a planet)?

@ShahidMursaleen @AFP @adidas @kanyewest You're right, he does have the right. Adidas also has the right not to be associated with him. The marketplace of ideas at work.

@ty_sherrill Was it because he didn't get convicted in a criminal prosecution? 🤔

@MarksMus1ngs @anniecle8 @JoJoFromJerz @MeidasTouch For events like the hearing you can watch PBS or CSPAN either on the TV or online. I have seen the hearings on CSPANs website and PBS Newhour YouTube channel.

@steven_pifer @ZelenskyyUa What’s with the countries with no recorded votes or abstentions?
English
Humiliating defeat for Putin. Only 6 countries voted with #Russia to oppose video appearance by #Ukraine's president @ZelenskyyUa at UN General Assembly.
#China abstained. Much of Global South, including India, voted to allow video address.
NEXTA@nexta_tv
Only 7 countries tried to prevent the President of #Ukraine from making a video address to the #UN General Assembly Belarus, Russia, Nicaragua, Cuba, North Korea, Syria and Eritrea spoke against Zelenskyy's video address. 101 countries voted for it and 19 countries abstained.

It has taken 233 years for the U.S. Congress to be fully represented by this country’s indigenous peoples.
Tonight, a Native American, a Native Alaskan & a Native Hawaiian are sitting members of the people’s House.
Welcome U.S. Representative Peltola to the 117th Congress! 🤙🏽
