      I really don't know anything about either of the Dem candidates....but the Republicans in GA. sounded freaking horrible.

              Pelosi announces additional committee assignments for 117th Congress

              Oversight and Reform Committee:
              Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York

              Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan
              Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri


              Awwwwwwwwww yeah! Katie Porter is amazing (so are the others, but she's a total superstar).

                  I listened to some of Warnock's speeches after Loeffler tweeted out sound bites from them. I was very impressed with him. There are definitely a lot of echoes of MLK.

                    I'm not really familiar with Katie Porter.

                      For a good time, look up some of her cross examination (or whatever they call it in the House) of the big bankers and, best of all, when she used her five minutes' time to get CDC Director Redford to make the dramatic shift to ensuring that all COVID testing would be provided for free. She's brilliant.

                          Nothing really. Jason decided he wanted to check out permanently from running the site, and asked me to reach out to Todd because he had been interested in taking it over. We had a few Zoom calls, and here we are. I told him I didn’t want a Fanball debacle, and he said it would just be a seamless transition with his members shifting over here if they wanted, since the Mastersball board is kinda dead.

                          And that’s it really. Takes the pressure off donations keeping the site afloat.

                          Hard to believe Bhob sold the site to Fanball for a rumored six figures a decade ago. Now, we just give it away!

                            Bhob was worth 6 figures, lol

                              I've talked to Byron about the fanball sale a few times. He and Bhob split it. I think it was in the mid 5 figures.

                                That makes more sense, but still ridiculous. Lord Zola and I had a little chuckle about that.
