I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.

For the second time in the past few days, Trump is “joking” about violating the Constitution and running for a third term:
“I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself… I think I’m not allowed to run again. I’m not sure, am I allowed to run again?”

Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
