Analysts are begging to wait for counties to be close to 100% complete before extrapolating, because early absentee ballots or blue-enhanced portions might be reporting first.
Our Harris yard sign was stolen last night (in PA). Do you think they're nervous?
Last night our official Harris yard sign was stolen out of our yard. This is in PA. We live in a county that votes 60% Republican.
I'm not going to alert the authorities since we're two days away from the election and I'm focused on what I'm doing for that in the near term (I'll be taking some family members to the polls Tuesday). Everyone in our house has already voted by mail (ballots verified recieved).
Also, our house is on a dead-end street so everyone who lives here has seen the sign a hundred times. We're going to put up a hand-made sign.
Do you think maybe Trump voters are nervous?

Russian central bank hikes benchmark rate to 21%
I'm posting this to help counter some of the "Russia is doing great" nonsense that our media sometimes falls for.
MOSCOW, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank hiked its key interest rate by 200 basis points on Friday to 21%, the highest level since the early years of President Vladimir Putin's rule, when Russia was recovering from the chaos that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The move, driven by massive increases in state spending, especially on the military, also brings the rate above the level seen during the market panic at the start of what Russia calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022.
The central bank said the hike was needed to fight inflation, currently at 8.4%, adding that inflationary expectations among the public have reached their highest level since the start of the year.

Other propagandists point to Russia's GDP growth, but that is illusory. They've switched to a wartime economy where the government is paying large sums directly to businesses. Other inflationary pressures they face come from being short of workers (because of the war itself and people leaving due to the war).
Trump apparently booed at the Steelers game (also Navy SEAL was cheered)
Accorting to this tweet:
( It's not clear who or how many are booing )
This isn't surprising since the games are played in Allegheny County, a Democratic stronghold (although of course fans from other counties go as well).

Also note MAGA is posting the cheering of a Navy SEAL and claiming it was for Trump. AND apparently the Steelers have not put Trump on the Jumbotron:

Also note the Steelers are not the ones who invited him.

NYT reporter indicates it wasn't him that dropped the Palmer details
The NYT has rightly been criticized for not mentioning what Trump was really talking about with respect to Arnold Palmer.
This is the tweet showing a screen capture of what the reporter said about it.

Three votes for Harris in PA from my family today. :)
My family mailed in our ballots on Wednesday. Today our county let us know that our three ballots have been received.
All three ballots were straight Democratic votes for every race.
