Indeed, folks need to get involved at the local level and primaries.

For those that complain about the first past the post voting, Alaska managed to pass ranked choice voting:

If you hate FPTP and the choices it gives you, don't just sit out the election, that's an inherent vote for the person you like the least. You can try to back a similar ranked choice measure in your state:

They also included in the ruling that:

"Chief Justice Roberts determines that “official conduct,” which garners presumptive immunity under the Court’s framework, may not be used as evidence of other crimes when prosecuting former presidents."

My understanding, a president having an "official" meeting with his staff regarding commiting a crime that falls outside of his normal presidential duties is no longer admissible as evidence for the criminal act.

Yeah, quite a few people on this 3 year old reddit post talk about that experience:

https://old.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/p86sjw/a_warning_for_people_considering_donefirst_for/

Done (DoneFirst), also charged an initial $200, then $79 a month though more current reviews mention $90 a month.

The comments on that thread are enlightening.

This may actually make the medications more available for those who are not patients of "Done Global, Inc" which was a telehealth company that specializes in ADHD.

But those who are patients of Done Global Inc are going to have a hell of a time finding a different doctor and getting back on their meds.

Major pharmacies like CVS Health and Walmart have stopped filling prescriptions from Done

I couldn't find the specific regulation they violated, but reading this and from the vague description, my best guess that they may have been playing loose with "establishing a patient relationship" and doing thorough evaluations of patients to ensure they had ADHD (and possibly skipping alternative lower Schedule medications).

Edit: From the DEA announcement

In many cases, Done Global prescribed ADHD medications when they were not medically necessary.

When I think of "stuffing" I think of people creating wholly illegitimate ballots, which does not seem to be what happened here.

That's exactly what ballot stuffing is and why what these folks are charged with is not ballot stuffing:

https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_stuffing

Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted.[1]

If the absentee ballots they handled were either fabricated or if the voters they were from already voted, then yes it would be "ballot stuffing" but I didn't see that in the article. Just "mishandling".

Still best that absentee ballots are handled properly as to show the voter hasn't voted in person.

My ear canals are very sensitive. They're stainless steel. Took a bullet at Corregidor, 1945. Passed straight through my head from one ear to the other. Here look at this.

You have to get the whole horse bloodline. If you leave any alive you'll be spending the rest of your life in fear everytime you hear hoof steps behind you.

Aerodynamics and metal fatigue hasn't changed much of any at all in a century.

Once you have a good airframe design, it just becomes a matter of upgrading electronics, engines, regular repairs, and servicing parts that are known to be prone to metal fatigue.

Hence why the B-52 which was first flown in 1952 will likely be in service until 2060!

 

Intuit (Turbo Tax) and H&R Block are the main lobby against easy tax prep (spent millions per year), then the other 12 members of the ACTR are:

Tax Act

OnLine Taxes

Wolters Kluwer

Tax Hawk

Liberty Tax

Drake Software

Jackson Hewitt

also the following financial institutions:

Netspend

Republic Bank

TPG Santa Barbara

pathward

So who do you use that is not one of the 14 companies above (or owned/operated by them)?
