These aren’t persuasion calls! This is contacting people to let them know what to do in order to get their vote counted!
Let’s keep the R majority in the House small enough to drown in a bathtub small enough that we can win it back with special elections in the next few months.
Let’s do this!
Reminder: we are having Postcard Writing & Music Thread #5 tonight at 8 pm Eastern. Please join us!

Which races still need curing?
Mousebumples
@Scout211: CA House races, it seems. There are shifts between now and Wednesday, and a contact email for anyone local who can help with in person (probably canvassing) curing.
Let’s make the GOP margin as thin as possible, and then 🍿🍿🍿

Since it’s an open thread . . . there is venison tenderloin in my future. (It’s opening day in WI.)

@narya: When I was a Bills season ticket holder, we tailgated with some Canadian guys who would bring marinated venison cubes too the tailgate. Yummmmm
Miss Bianca
@narya: Mmmm…happy hunting!

@trollhattan: Barr would support Cthulhu, if it won the Republican nomination. Which at the rate the party is going….

@narya:
Thanks for the reminder to stay well clear of fields, forests, and anyplace outdoors for the next 10 days.

Do the curing because Dark Brandon demands it be done on his Day of Aging!

@A Man for All Seaonings (formerly Geeno): @Miss Bianca: The tenderloin of course is eaten by itself–with the best bottle of wine available, and, the past two years, with crabmeat and pasta, for a really luxurious surf and turf. Another preparation, though–NOT the tenderloin!!–is very thinly sliced (easiest to do while the piece is still frozen), flash-cooked with caramelized onions and then put into a really good baguette w/ some ripe camembert cheese. Any idea what type of marinade they used? I don’t marinate much except salmon and sablefish.

Speaking of hot off the press, the NYT is basically (after eight paragraphs of preface) accusing Sam Alito of leaking the 2014 Hobby Lobby decision weeks before release. Kudos to a team of three* women reporters who I’d imagine had to wrangle that through a phalanx of panicky Times editors and legal worry warts.
You can tell the Times is really skittish about this absolute bombshell – given the Dobbs leak! – by placing it seventh on the Politics page and having well below the major news on the home page. (edited, I didn’t see it on the home page at first, ‘I regret my error’ as they say.)
*Jodi Kantor and Jo Becker with the byline, plus Julie Tate credited at the end.

@RaflW: I did get it in my e-mail as a breaking-news alert, so they are playing it up to that extent.

@Ken: Nah. Cthulhu would eat the souls of everyone equally, and Republicans would not be happy that he refuses to focus on brown people first.
Much better to elect DeSantis, who will eat souls at the border.
Scout211
@RaflW: I was about to post that. Here’s a CNBC write-up with no subscription wall. It was Alito all along but he says he didn’t do it. (Of course). But likely whoever he did leak the Dobbs decision to, ended up leaking it to the public.
RaflW
@Scout211: Alito’s vociferous denunciations of the Dobbs leak look really sus now. “Look over there at the unreliable liberal clerks!” Ass**le.
And Robert’s order to investigate, with zero public progress after the fingers swung from liberal clerks to Ginni, to now maybe Sam. Yeah, mister Chief Justice, you’re looking as political as we all know you are.

@RaflW: Jodi, Jo and Julie would have all been on my daughter’s soccer team at some point. Or been moms of Savannah, Bridgett and Sydnee.

@RaflW: Thanks for posting that. I also saw coverage on DKos of the story, and I am surprised to be glad I clicked on the link to what Rev. Schenk said about Dobbs. Title: Roe’s Reversal Isn’t “Pro” Life
Don’t click if religion is disturbing to you. I was really moved fwiw. This guy made a huge change because he listened to women he knows and looked at the impact that his views would have on more vulnerable people.

Poor Donald…..
“Donald Trump has changed his mind and is ready to speak to the Republican Jewish Coalition. What’s not as clear is how ready Jewish Republicans are to hear from him.
As of last week, the coalition said Trump had cited an undefined “conflict” in turning down an invitation to address its annual convention in Las Vegas. But that was before he announced his bid for another shot at the presidency on Tuesday, making him the first and so far the only nominee to formally do so, and on Thursday the organization said Trump would speak via satellite.
The star of the conference appears to be Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has a prime speaking slot, as opposed to Trump’s less auspicious placement.” (My bold)

@Jackie: Who does Bibi favor?

@trollhattan: I don’t know if he’s opined publicly 🤷🏼♀️

@trollhattan: Netanyahu will probably favor whoever comes out on top, and will be cautious for now.
He’s conscious of the facts that Joe Biden will be President at least until January, 2025 and that Biden may well win the next election. Netanyahu may be an ass, but he’s not dumbass.
Netanyahu owes Trump nothing. But even if he did, Netanyahu wouldn’t care.

@RaflW: All the Republican justices on the SC are corrupt, Nice to have this exposed. I hope it gets some traction

Sam Alito being run down by a bus would be an auspicious start to the new year.
