Marco Rubio is very shook on Twitter right now about the counting of votes in Florida. Even if neither Nelson nor Gillum win I will enjoy these few moments seeing him squirm a bit.

This trickle of good results over the past day has been pretty great. Keeping the Senate to +1 would be such a huge deal. Also, gently caress the Senate.

On her winning, just realize it's a close election with votes totals coming in still and things can change, no use focusing on one result as guaranteed As a member of Congress, I'm afraid she'll live down to her average constituent..

Yes, knowing basic geography is in fact not a universal intellectual asset even with everyone having access to a database containing the sum total of human knowledge. It's such a simple concept though, like a smart uneducated person can still grasp it quickly. Like nothing more simple than "In some places there are more people than other places." These are furiously stupid people.

Everyone hold onto your fedoras https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1060675599969193984 quote:FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is expected to announce a ban on the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes in tens of thousands of convenience stores and gas stations across the country, according to senior agency officials. The agency will also impose such rules as age-verification requirements for online sales, the officials say. Oh wait false alarm it is only going to affect vaping casuals quote:Gottlieb’s actions apply to a specific kind of vaping product that dominates the youth market — e-cigarettes that use prepackaged flavor cartridges, or pods. That includes the wildly popular vaping products by Juul Labs. The restrictions don’t apply to the “open-tank” systems available in vape shops.

I’ve seen talk of a Biden/Beto 2020 run. That’s pretty terrible though right? Like, there’s no way people get excited about a Biden run. Comedy option is that ticket wins and Biden immediately resigns like how Pablo Escobar got into office.
