Good morning, kittens. Election Day is tomorrow, so the useful people are publishing voter guides while the usual goblins stuff our feeds with paid influence, foreign agent crossovers and Justice Department promises that smell like a freshly disturbed litter box. Put down the doom scroll. We have a plan, receipts and election bingo.
Shit Show Recap
- Marijuana Moment reports that the DEA granted federal registrations to more than 900 medical cannabis dispensaries across seven states. After decades of pretending weed was scarier than fascism, the government has finally located reality.
- Drop Site News maps the rural races that could decide Congress, where hospital closures, farm costs and corporate power matter more than whatever culture war MAGA dragged onto the porch this morning.
- Cat Ladies for America offers a candidate guide for voters who want useful names before Tuesday, not another cable panel clawing over the political horse race.
- The Daily Rumble examines Justice Department assurances that Trump’s political grievance fund is not operative. Kitty has seen sturdier promises written on the side of a litter box.
- Resistance Kitty is hosting election night coverage with live returns, election bingo and enough strategic profanity to survive the map. Bring snacks and do not let Steve Kornacki personally regulate your nervous system.
- Nightfire investigates what smart speakers can hear, store and expose when convenience plants a microphone in the living room. If Alexa knows the family secrets, she had better delete the receipts.
- Resistance Kitty’s RSG #376 explains how to prepare, protect your vote and respond responsibly when Election Day gets messy. Democracy needs informed witnesses, not Facebook uncles conducting parking lot audits.
- Kittm631’s election guide gathers the races and choices voters need before the polls close. Bookmark it now, because frantic searching from the voting line is an avoidable little nightmare.
- Stephen Semler calculates that the United States lost 85 military aircraft and damaged another 26 during the first seven months of the Iran war, with replacement costs above $4 billion. The war machine is eating aircraft like kibble while Congress pretends the bowl refills itself.
- Drop Site News found that two people working for Mike Rogers’s Senate campaign are also registered foreign agents for Israel. One reportedly serves as a campaign spokesperson, because disclosure forms apparently double as satire now.
- Salty Politics follows how Trump’s oil and gas holdings reportedly grew while Americans absorbed painful prices at the pump. When the president says “we” are making a fortune, kittens, check whether he means the country or his portfolio.
- Resistance Directory explains why access to immigration counsel can determine whether someone remains safely with family or faces deportation alone. The government gets a lawyer automatically, while a frightened child may get a pamphlet and a deadline.
- The Leah Files follows the names and money behind political influence machinery flooding voters’ feeds. When enthusiasm arrives in matching scripts from anonymous accounts, Kitty checks who bought the kibble.
- Meidas+ reports that Bolivian whistleblower Nadia Beller fears arrest after exposing an alleged corruption network with reported links to Trump associates across Latin America. The allegations remain developing, and her safety matters more than anyone’s appetite for spectacle.
- Democracy News highlights the election night contests most likely to reveal where power is shifting. Watch the margins and turnout, kittens, not the loudest pundit performing cardiac distress beside a touchscreen.
Final Kitty Thoughts
Tomorrow is not a spectator sport, kittens. Use the guides, protect your vote, help someone else reach the polls and then join us for election night coverage with snacks, receipts and the emotional support bingo card democracy apparently requires.
