    The scene tonight in South Minneapolis. I’d be lying if I said this didn’t warm my heart.

    SCOOP: The 2022 @NBA schedule will show NO Election Day games. Instead, all 30 teams will play the Monday before on a themed “civic engagement night,” to encourage fans, players and staff to vote in this year’s midterm elections. (More on @NBCNews)

    NEW: "All of the ballots have indeed been counted" Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe says on @NBCNews. "We're not seeing that there's any counties that haven't posted their results on their websites." NBC News currently has Biden ahead by 20,697 votes.

    Full video of that moment in Graham, N.C. Men and women have told me they wouldn’t vote for Haley because she’s a woman before (and in plenty of other states), but rarely is it said this explicitly and in front of a camera.

    So a male voter in NC told @shaqbrewster that he doesn't like Nikki Haley bc he doesn't think a woman should be president bc she has no "balls to scratch." “All a woman’s good for in my book is having babies and taking care of the house." nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…

    JUST A SAMPLE of my conversations with voters at Riverside High School in Milwaukee. Folks determined, but outraged that they’ve been forced out & waiting for hours. Many tell me they tried voting absentee, but for a variety of reasons, this became their only option. #COVID19

    Actually, THIS was the real text from my mother to the family group chat after she watched a live report this afternoon.

    Truly inspiring scenes of clean up in Minneapolis today. An army of people carrying garbage bags, brooms and buckets— doing anything they can to help. Those without, are moving debris, handing out free water & snacks, directing traffic...

    Just asked @BernieSanders about Kobe Bryant’s death: “He’s certainly one of the great basketball players who’ve ever lived,” he tells me.

    VP Harris to NBC News in Wayne, MI: “I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump and we have a date of September 10. I hear he’s finally committed to it and I’m looking forward to it.”

    “We don’t usually change the schedule for an external event,” @caduggy to @NBCNews. “But voting and Election Day are obviously unique and incredibly important to our democracy.” In 2020, the NBA worked with cities to convert 23 arenas and team facilities in voting centers.

    Sanders says Omar is an “extraordinary woman who thirty years ago was in her refugee camp in Kenya... now one of the leading voices for justice in the United States.”
    For the third consecutive weekend, @BernieSanders rallies with a member of “The Squad.” Tonight, it’s with Rep. @IlhanMN who says she’s with him because “He has always been steadfast in his principles.”
