I think they were more wanna-be opportunists than actual spoilers. I think it was last year I saw one of their representatives talking to a reporter and the reporter kept trying to get him to state exactly what the party was running on. The guy could only talk in generalities like "Bi-partisanship" and "common sense solutions". Ultimately the reporter said something like, "Look if you want people to take you seriously, you're going to have to start talking about real policies..."
Unfortunately all it takes is being on camera on a regular basis or having a strong social media presence. Somehow Candace Owens of all people testified in front Congress a few years ago about White Supremacy ( of course she said it wasn't a real issue for black americans ).
Getting people who aren't professional into positions where they seem like authorities is the SOP of the GoP.
Earthquakes are not unheard of in the NE, though usually low level. There are fault lines throughout the area, with the Ramapo fault being the largest. But none of these are as active as the ones on the west coast. Not sure which fault line today's quake came from yet..(edit)..it was probably the Ramapo fault.

I've seen this on Tumblr, so not sure how effective it is, but worth a try I guess:

The discharge petition to bring aid for Ukraine to a vote still needs several votes. This tool makes it easy to see who still needs to vote on it and how you can contact them.
Slava Ukraini!Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred
She's been in it for Trump ever since she interfered to slow down the FBI evaluating the evidence, I'm surprised she hasn't been called on it yet and forced to recuse herself.
Not everyone is doing well on the Stock Market, so the Economy is in a shambles and it's Biden's fault. /sarcasm
Negative emotion can be a powerful thing (There's alot of hate being focused on NY right now), but so can side effects of fracking or quirks of this old planet's internal structures. I just hope the harm was minimal.
Whether No Labels were genuine about trying to run from the center or they were taking advantage of what they thought was a more common sentiment, they were backed by some folks who just wanted them to siphon votes away from the Dems.
And LoTT now gets to ban books officially while engaging in terrorism, even if I know she can't be tried for it yet. The GoP are celebrating their peddlers of misinformation from on high and down low.
It would be less than worthless for me to call a FL politician about this, but I encourage others to give their congresspeople a call and surprise them if nothing else.
Correction, the epicenter was actually 5 miles northwest of Trump's Bedminster golf course. Make of that what you will.

Jesus. I just got an alert on my phone.
That's a bang-up system. Right on the ball.
