47’s ideations about quashing the midterms aren’t nearly as easily executed as he might like. @jamellebouie.net brings the facts and threads them out beautifully. A good, quick read.
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

I bought a Super Bowl ring at a yard sale, and now I have as many Super Bowl rings as Joe Namath.

If Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction, then Narcan should be made available to anyone who wants it, completely free of charge.

Strong floor, no ceiling? You mean like a plateau?

Sounds about right.

Grateful to have your help as I navigate this deeply weird moment. Hoping to get solid leads on remote admin/accts payable/payroll work, and on stable housing for people with mobility issues. All help offered is welcome.

Speaking not at all to deservedness or comeuppances, the Charlie Kirk video is kind of brutal.

If you’re at all squeamish, you’d do well to skip it.

A long, but worthy read. Alec’s insight has been indispensable to me over the last ten or so years. His work here is no less so.
THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

I’m not suggesting David Zaslav has to suffer intense physical/emotional/financial pain.

I’m just saying *if* he does, I’d like to be there to see it and perhaps conduct a bit of polite clapping; possibly even smoke a cigarette.

This is worth every moment of a watch. Don’t research it. Shut your phone off. Give it 90 minutes of your undivided attention and let it transport you.
