Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
Be warned.

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.

When Donald Trump lawlessly went after ordinary Americans, Chief Justice John Roberts didn't care.
But now that Trump is taking aim at Roberts' fellow judges, Roberts suddenly cares.
It's always the same with conservatives, they don't care until something affects them.

Donald Trump has ended USSS protection for both Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden.
Another clear signal that he himself never intends to be an ex-president, nor see his family be the family of an ex-president.
The number of such signals is growing exponentially by the week.
