In most states, the ballot access rules are different for "major parties" (the exact term varies from state to state). Major parties generally have a streamlined path for access to a slot for their candidates on the general election ballot. Whether a party qualifies is generally determined by their performance in a recent previous election.

(The Democratic and Republican parties qualify in every state that makes this distinction).

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

A Russian pilot passed on confidential information to Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) that helped identify 30 commanders of the Russian heavy bomber aviation division, a source in the agency stated on July 11.

"He was shocked by the attack on the children's hospital, so he decided to hand over to the Ukrainian side documents related to the activities of his military unit, as well as private photos of the command staff," the source said.

I successfully removed Copilot from my Windows 11 OEM PC!

Here's what I did...

Uninstall using PowerShell Command
Step 1: Open Terminal (Admin) by right-click on the Windows logo key.

Step 2: Use the following command to uninstall:

Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -Like '*Microsoft.Copilot*'} | Remove-AppxPackage -ErrorAction Continue

When I searched for Copilot on my PC afterwards, all I got was a link that opens in Edge that leads to "download Copilot." #Copilot

If the New York Times still employed a public editor with integrity and authority, I guarantee that person would be working on a scathing denunciation of yesterday's innuendo-spinning White House neurologist story.

That's one reason the New York Times killed off the public editor job years ago.

Stupidly hot here, but I still can't bring myself to switch to iced coffee, which just never seems right to me. So I'm alternating sips of hot coffee and ice water.

Concerns mount as to whether the 173-year old New York Times is too old to continue in its role as the nation’s newspaper of record.

This is very tough to say.

You’ve served us well for many years. But you’re really old now. And lately you’ve said things that don’t make sense or were just wrong. So for the good of the country, it’s time to quit and pass the torch.

This is a tweet about the New York Times.

Saw a Facebook post, showing the 120F temperature in a desert city in the American west and saying, "All sensible people have already left town."

There are a lot of people who can't afford to leave town, because they are old, or they have to work to feed their children or they are poor, or they have nowhere else to go in any case.

We have a profound deficit of empathy in America.
