Voted for Kamala Harris and Angela Alsobrooks today
...wife and I.
She was full of good feels about it. I felt less anxiety than in the past, which is as excited as I get about voting. Feels weighty and solemn and I have to shake it off everytime.
But, hell, let's go!

Today VP Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney will embark on a three-state tour to Chester County, Pennsylvania, Oakland County, Michigan, and Waukesha County, Wisconsin!
The pair will hold moderated conversations in each state aimed at winning over undecided voters. #NoRest
All three conversations will be moderated by Sarah Longwell, a Republican strategist and the publisher of the Bulwark, and Charlie Sykes.
...remember, Liz Cheney, as co-chair of the Jan 6 committee, has all the receipts and will spill them on the campaign trail today.
