A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate.

This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

“Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed.
The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad.
Everything is stopped”

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

I’m still not entirely sure how to use either BlueSky or Substack. They seem to share an abstruse and impenetrable interface.

Solyndra is often cited as a cautionary tale against industrial policy. In hindsight, though, the worst mistake the Obama administration made was the $465m loan to Tesla that allowed Musk to avoid bankruptcy.

He’s doing it for free? Nope. Follow the money and see where it goes.
