The question people need to be asking is not "what if he cancels the midterms" (he can't, though he can interfere). It's "what if he refuses the results of the midterms?"

1. He wants to
2. It’s plausible he’ll try
3. His people would support it
4. But it’s vastly harder and more complicated than people are suggesting and can’t be done by his fiat

It’s Long COVID Awareness Day. While the worst of the pandemic is over for most, there’s more we must do to educate people about Long COVID and ensure that those in our communities who are struggling get the help they need. That's why I will keep working to pass my bipartisan Long COVID Support Act.

reupping this to say there’s a special place in hell for people who charge to 100% when other people are waiting for chargers
Slow charging EVs at DCFC stations are the only thing that makes me reconsider EV ownership. Waiting forever for a Kona or ID4 to finish charging is just torture!

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Seems like this WBD-Paramount merger, which is in preliminary talks, is entirely being driven by streaming consolidation possibilities. I don't think execs learned much from the Hollywood creative strikes.
