#Gunshots heard in #Philippines #Senate, where a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court [#ICC] has been resisting arrest
A burst of gunfire rang out Wednesday night in the Philippine Senate, where authorities have tried to arrest a senator who is wanted by the ICC for a charge of #CrimesAgainstHumanity, an AP journalist & other witnesses said.
#Democrat #ChedrickGreene beats #Republican #JasonTunney in a #Saginaw area special #election in #Michigan
Meaning:
The Michigan State #Senate will be 20-18 in favor of the Democrats, rather than a tie
"Who cares, #Trump is the problem"
On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump
#Vote. Especially the #primaries. It all matters

#GOP offers a ridiculous additional $1B for #WhiteHouse “security”, sparking dispute over #ballroom
#Senate #Republicans maintain their proposal would authorize #security construction, but not the #Trump ballroom. The White House disagrees.
Senate Republicans late Monday proposed $1 billion to pay for new White House security measures, with lawmakers & White House ofcls disagreeing over whether the #legislation would cover Trump’s planned ballroom.
Does #voting matter?
You tell me:
" #Talarico leads both #Cornyn, #Paxton in new poll of #Texas’ #US #Senate race
#Democrat state Rep. James Talarico is leading both of his prospective #Republican opponents in a new poll of Texas’ U.S. Senate race — though the result is within the margin of error in either scenario, suggesting a close contest in November"
"but i want perfect"
"both sides the same"
"the vote is hacked"
"waah waah"
shut the fuck up
#VOTE!
