Rueters is one hell of a reporter. Need to put that out there for people who don’t understand the difficulty this job can present sometimes. Tons of #respect.

NEW: A group of 8 Republicans, including Congressman Mike Kelly & PA-17 candidate Sean Parnell are suing the GOP majority PA General Assembly, Gov. Tom Wolf, and Sec. of State Kathy Boockvar, claiming Act 77, which allowed for mail-in voting, is unconstitutional. THREAD /1
Replying to
Act 77 passed with majority Republican support in a GOP-controlled legislature in 2019. It allowed for mail-in voting and eliminated straight party ticket ballots.
It passed the House 138-61, with only one GOP "No" vote. It passed the Senate 30-20 with all GOP voting "Yes". /2
Replying to
In the lawsuit, filed this morning in Commonwealth Court, plaintiffs say Act 77 is "unconstitutional," and "implemented illegally." They argue it's an illegal attempt to override limitations on absentee voting, and needed to go through a constitutional amendment first /3
Replying to
Plaintiffs in lawsuit say the certification of the election, which Joe Biden is currently leading by 80,000 in race for President, and which Rep. Kelly won and Mr. Parnell lost, should be prohibited.

I watched Sam Ficken’s lowest moment of his career in person at Virginia 5+ years ago. Could’ve destroyed anybody. The fact he’s kicking in the NFL Playoffs today is so cool.
We need to do a better job as a news medium. Between the reporter being hit by a car, now this. It’s nothing more than shock value news porn, aired knowing full well what’s about to happen, cut away in shock and horror, then plastered it on social media even though someone died.
Reminder: The Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club won 98 games three years ago. This ability to hit rock bottom this quickly is a sign of just how poorly they are run. Embarrassing.

This is factually wrong on multiple accounts.
- 538 are number of electoral votes (Fla. was decided by 537 votes)
- SCOTUS never flipped Florida 2000 election result. They ordered election office to stop counting. Bush was leading the whole time.

When someone uses the phrase “Jewish money,” be it a rap lyric or otherwise, I don’t view it as anti-Semitism. Some will and that’s their right. I don’t think LeBron James hates Jews. I hope the rapper 21 Savage (where the lyric came from) doesn't hate Jews.
It’s nice having no horse in this race to make this observation:
This is one of the worst officiated games I can remember.

Just like you wouldn't say someone has "Muslim violence" or "Mexican work ethic" - because those are racist stereotypes - Jewish people are only defined by their money by ignorants. And it’s not a LeBron issue but society wide. And it’s been that way for millennia.
Tomlin and Fichtner are absolutely terrified of letting Mason Rudolph throw the ball.

By using the term, LeBron - and anyone else who uses it - is showing extreme and incredible ignorance to Jews. The idea that Jews are money-grabbing wealthy penny-pinchers is one of the oldest stereotypes in modern history.

-World Series Game 7 extra inns
-CFP last second
