This 👇 is true. However, when mail-in voting remains and Republicans get a shellacking, Trump will sow doubt and chaos. And that may be the goal.
Facts:

The federal government has no authority over elections.

States certify their own elections.

Mail in voting is still legal.

Any chance to Election Clause of the Constitution requires 2/3 of both House and Senate and 3/4 of States to amend the Constitution....that ain't happening.

A few months ago I became a devoted listener to @gregsargent.bsky.social and his podcast "The Daily Blast" via YouTube; I'm dismayed it doesn't get more hits there. Don't sleep on it, it's become essential, and this discussion with TNR's @mjtoma.bsky.social is especially good.

The delightful Florence Henderson would have been 92 today. Her incredibly full 60-year career started onstage in (usually Rogers & Hammerstein) musicals, then turned to TV (the first woman to host THE TONIGHT SHOW), and achieved pop culture Immortality as Carol Brady. Died of heart failure in 2016.

From 1971's BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES: This make-up test for the mutants was deemed to be "too horrifying" for the desired rating and was modified to the design used in the finished film.

Imagine spending an amount of money that could solve American homelessness for 3-4 years on detention centers for people who are generally busy working, renting, parenting, and paying taxes.

“Whether approved by Congress or not.”
Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

Has Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick been fired yet for lying to the American people about this friendship with child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein? If not, why not?

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.
The Nonresponse To Donald Trump
How an obscure quirk of statistics and human nature explains the liberal crisis of confidence—and why it may finally be lifting.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
