pscot's JournalThe Repukes are intent on stealing another senate seat
Just found this on reddit. If you live in the area or are in a position to help it's time to send in the cavalry.
Memphis is 2/3rds black and so our city will have zero polling locations for the first five days of Early Voting. They are also opening 4 new polling locations in white suburban areas and only 1 in a majority black area for the remainder of Early Voting. That means that it will be far easier to get to the polls from white neighborhoods, even after the 5 days of fraudulent voting with zero polls accessible to people without cars.
The Republicans opened their coordinated campaign office right across the street from the only polling location. It’s obvious that they knew that the Election Commission was only going to open one polling location and they knew where it was. The Election Commission didn’t tell the Democratic Party about the one Early Voting location.
Memphis is the poorest city in the US. We are majority black. We do not have the resources to fight this attack on our city alone. Please help us and be aware of what the Republicans are doing for 2018. They will stop at nothing to stop black people from voting. The Voting Rights Act is dead in the South.
The GOP is terrified that Phil Bredesen will win in November and they will lose their Senate majority. They will do anything to stop that from happening, including stealing our August elections.
EDIT: Fixed location information. Also forgot to note that there are nearly one million people in our county and around 600,000 registered voters.

Meet Donald Trump's Top FBI Fanboy
This appeared Nov. 3rd 2016. It leads to an anti-Hillary cabal of former FBI agents with Louis Freeh and Rudy Giulliani at the center. It's long, but worth reading.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-donald-trumps-top-fbi-fanboy
Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: “I think he’s [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, I’m talking about some pretty big surprises.”
Pressed for specifics, he said: “We’ve got a couple of things up our sleeve that should turn this thing around.”
The man who now leads “lock-her-up” chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office. One of Giuliani’s security firms employed a former head of the New York FBI office, and other alumni of it. It was agents of that office, probing Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting of a minor, who pressed Comey to authorize the review of possible Hillary Clinton-related emails on a Weiner device that led to the explosive letter the director wrote Congress.
Hours after Comey’s letter about the renewed probe was leaked on Friday, Giuliani went on a radio show and attributed the director’s surprise action to “the pressure of a group of FBI agents who don’t look at it politically.”
“The other rumor that I get is that there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBI’s integrity,” said Giuliani. “I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.”

We're under 5% and the latest Ipsos poll shows Republicans with a 1 point lead. We won't reclaim the House if those numbers hold up. The GOP have unlimited amounts of money and are very well organized. Student canvassers have supposedly have already rung 10-million doorbells for GOP candidates this year. i think we're seeing that effort reflected in the polling for the generic ballot. If you think a blue wave is inevitable, remember, so was Hillary. Support the Party, join with others, organize, work for your local candidates. We must not fail.

A House panel will decide next week whether to suspend Tacoma Rep. David Sawyer from his committee chairmanship after preliminary findings from an investigation into his conduct, House Democratic leaders said Friday evening.
The independent investigation into Sawyer's behavior is ongoing, but House leaders said in a news release the inquiry had "confirmed evidence supporting some allegations" against the Democrat, prompting them to take action.
In a February story by The News Tribune, The Olympian and public radio's Northwest News Network, eight women accused Sawyer of engaging in behavior before and after he joined the Legislature that ranged from inappropriate to harassing.
The allegations included persistent or suggestive electronic messaging, unwanted attention and comments with sexual overtones.

Washington-bound boat carrying invasive mussels stopped in Montana
Montana officials found invasive zebra mussels clinging to a boat headed toward Washington Friday.
The boat was stopped, and Washington officials were notified, said Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Capt. Eric Anderson.

“We want to keep these things out of our waters,” Anderson said. “If they get in I hate to say it there is not a whole lot you can do once they get in other than hemorrhage money.”
...
the stop is an example of the defensive net Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington officials are erecting in hopes of keeping aquatic invasive species at bay. And, it highlights the precarious nature of the fight against aquatic invasive species.
Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and Idaho are the only states in the West still free of invasive quagga and zebra mussels, which can cause massive damage to waterways, fisheries, irrigation facilities and more.
