Seems like it was all about Kennedy prepping for a future Presidency run, and not having to face off with Ayana when/if Lizzie joins the Biden admin.

I think that he is letting everyone know exactly what time it is. If you are Black and then voting for these dudes, then you reap what you sow. Yo'dwalk31 , you can always change your groove, then bouncing on the one.
The US Department if Justice has been problematic for a long time.
Obviously the takes by Bill Barr are absurd.

It wasn't an upset
Markey was an incumbent that has never lost a race. He was endorsed by DSCC. By Warren, Schumer hell even Manchin
He was up in every poll. He was the favorite, and he won.
Kennedy winning would have been an upset.

Upset in the sense that establishment Democrats put their weight behind Kennedy—and he still lost.

The move could prevent millions of evictions that housing advocates warn are looming as people who have lost work run out of money. Landlord groups want to know who will pay for the lost rent.

They establishment didn't put their weight behind Kennedy.
The literally pointed out to you that the part Democratic Party responsible for supporting Senate candidates endorsed Markey. The Schumer, the Senate Minority leader endorsed him, the most centrist Democrat in the Senate endorsed him too. Every Senator that weighed in on the race endorsed Markey. He is the incumbent, he is happily part of the so called Democratic establishment.
The only supposed establishment support Kennedy had was Pelosi, and that is because he is a House Rep., and it is not unusual for the Leader of Party in the House to endorse Reps that run for Senate.
But on aggregate, Markey had the real "establishment" support.
You don't know what you are talking about. You should just shut up now.

Has Bill Barr demonstrated an independent nature of the Department of Justice, or has he demonstrated a willingness to change precedent, operational decisions, and judgement based on the real, perceived, or alluded wishes of the President or his administration? Has Barr, as leader of the DOJ, gone out of his way to shield or outright lie to benefit the president?
Dont be glib, if you answer. The receipts exist to prove if Barr and the decisions of the DOJ under his watch are independent from the Executive branch.

With the election now a little more than 60 days away, we're going to pin a thread in the General forum to promote voter registration.
Unlike previous cycles, though, linking users to voter registration resources is insufficient on its own.
Obviously we want to encourage early voting whenever possible to avoid the nightmare scenarios that have been bandied about lately, with delayed vote counting resulting in a "mirage" victory and/or a contested outcome.
We also need to ensure that all prospective voters know their rights to avoid the expected harassment and intimidation at the polls, should they vote in person.
What advice or information would you like to see included in the post?
Who nominated Bill Barr? Will voting for Donald Trump result in his continuing as the head of the DOJ? Will voting for Joe Biden result in Barr's replacement?
We all know the answers to these questions.
There is no separation between Barr's views on this issue and those of the Trump administration.
Donald Trump and his top officials do not believe that systemic racism exists, especially with regard to policing:

This is not a question of speculation or inference. They have repeatedly made this explicitly clear.

This is a truly pathetic and intellectually dishonest talking point. You know this. Your insistence on repeating it is a bad faith act.

Top Trump officials claim there's no systemic racism in US law enforcement agencies as Americans flood streets in protest
Several top Trump administration officials claimed Sunday that systemic racism is not an issue in US law enforcement agencies -- even as thousands of Americans continue to take to the streets to protest against racism and police violence following the police killing of a black man in Minneapolis.

First Thing: Trump denies police racism is 'systemic' on Kenosha visit
US president blamed police discrimination on ‘bad apples’. Plus, US refuses to join coronavirus vaccine cooperation over WHO stance

Meth, can you include a list of how early you can vote in each state? And whether you can vote early in person or by mail only?
I ask this because I myself do not know the logistics of these options, as living in Oregon means I've been able to mail in or drop my ballot in a drop box my entire voting life.

-I think members should be aware of the turnaround times to make sure their mail in ballot reaches on time if it is going through the USPS. NYT wrote a guide:
Will You Have Enough Time to Vote by Mail in Your State? (Published 2020)
Yes, but in 35 states, deadlines to request a ballot are so close to Election Day that it’s risky to procrastinate.
-Here are a few website that have been forwarded to me by others, that have info on voting depending on the state.
Homepage | Vote Save America
Vote Save America is the one-stop shop for everything you need to get informed, get involved, and get out the vote in the most important election of our lifetime.

2020 Election Voter Info - Dame Magazine
With November 3rd fast approaching, so are deadlines for voter registration. With exceptional research and assistance from Voting Rights Advocate and Writer, Maya Contreras, we've compiled all the information you need to ensure you can vote this election. Just click on your state in the list...
-And if people have any issue voting (unfortunately some polls workers give wrong info and try to enforce nonexistent voter ID laws) then people should know to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE. Their website: https://866ourvote.org/
-Concerning voting by mail:
Also I would like people to know that if they get a ballot in the mail, they can look up how to drop it off in person, instead of mailing it in. I know the rules are different in each state (some allow ballot harvesting, some have drop boxes, others you have to go into the election office) so they should look up the rules in their state.
And remind people that mail in ballots are verified by checking the signature on the ballot against what is on file, so people have to make sure the sign it properly. This is one of the main reason ballots are rejected.
Even if they get a ballot in the mail, they can still vote in person. The rules are different for each state, but it usually involves bringing the ballot to a in person voting location, having them spoil it, and then you are allowed to vote in person.
