May as well go ahead and change "could" to "will jeopardize certain ballots."
Sure, Trump is an idiot, but the supporting cast are methodical.

The Postal Service is no longer guaranteeing when it will postmark mail, which could jeopardize some ballots that arrive after Election Day.

fr, yesterday, I kept thinking, in a b-movie voice, "it's quiet.. too quiet," bc we just don't get days off like that. Not in months.
I wondered what cartoonishly disastrous breaking news this morning would bring.

To me, this sounds like the first tangible sign of things going wrong for Trump’s (non) plan.

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.
Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

So, basically, "not as long as they understand that their troops *are our* troops."
Asked by the NY Post if “US troops [will] be on the ground helping run the country,” Trump said: “No, if Maduro’s vice president — if the vice president does what we want, we won’t have to do that.”

If you thought he was gonna have a restrained foreign policy, you are a mark and a dope and your foreign policy analysis should be discounted.

With this Maduro news, ‘m trying to think of other comparably long-range state kidnappings out of hostile or at least unhelpful territory. Mossad grabbing Eichmann. Sorta kinda Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini. Probably some from GWOT but except early on we were mostly killing HVTs not capturing them.

At least publicly, Putin seems opposed to the Trump's actions in Venezuela.

Investors and economists react to US capture of Venezuela's Maduro
The United States said it had struck Venezuela and captured its long-serving President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, after months of accusing him of drug-running and illegitimacy in power, marking a dramatic escalation in geopolitical tensions.

*IMO, most appreciate good journalists. At least, at the same percentage as those in media willing to circle wagons, regardless.
Ex: Look back at Nuzzi B4 she was fully exposed.
Even with a clear pattern (reporter or editor), others in the media-sphere have their own version of LE's "blue shield."

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

People like Bari Weiss want to establish the principle that if you disagree with them, you don’t love America.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
