Johnson v Peters, Electoral College, more GOP whinging about fraud

It was the greatest honor of my life to nominate my friend and sorority sister, @KamalaHarris as Vice President of the United States. #The Black Michigan #electors.

That report about a massive error rate with Dominion voting machines in a rural Michigan county? Total nonsense.

Antrim County recounted its ballots – they're on paper – by hand today and found the machines counted accurately.https://t.co/0YGH5OiODF pic.twitter.com/AmkZ1QGiHH

While Joe Biden has assembled a competent & experienced team of advisors, Donald Trump is listening to a collection of felons, grifters & lunatics telling him to impose martial law and stage a coup d’état.

Take this for what it is, a threat.https://t.co/65iy4WM1eY

“Given Trump’s psychological profile, it was inevitable that when he felt the walls of reality close in on him … he would detach himself even further from reality,” writes @Peter_Wehner: https://t.co/13sii9VMOH

Peter Lark on Granholm's energy legacy in MI + Biden's cabinet picks

On Thursday, President-elect Joe Biden selected Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., to be his nominee for the next secretary of the Department of the Interior. Haaland, who is Laguna Pueblo and one of the two first Native American women elected to Congress in 2018 — Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kan., a Ho-Chunk, was also elected that year — will not only be the first Native to lead that department. She will also be the first Native American to hold the position of a Cabinet secretary in the history of the United States. ~Source

A former Secretary of the Interior once proclaimed it his goal to “civilize or exterminate” Indigenous people. I’m a living testament to the failure of that horrific ideology.

I’m here on the shoulders of my ancestors and all the people who have sacrificed.
