Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

Game this out, and then figure out how to protect you and your family this summer: Trump just misused a federal provision not used in 60 years—and then only used to *protect demonstrators*—that requires imminent risk of Rebellion.
If he'd do this for some minor, peaceful LA protests, what's coming?

This is replacement theory. It is a debunked white nationalist conspiracy theory that was normalized by Tucker Carlson. It’s a blatant lie meant to turn Americans against immigrants.
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

Rhode Island folks: please light up the lines to tell Whitehouse this is not what you voted for, and that Kennedy would be a terrible choice.
I will donate to anyone who primaries a Democrat voting to confirm RFK Jr. It’s so catastrophically dangerous that I’m sort of dumbfounded. As a scientist, this is as close as I’ve been to being a single issue voter.
If you agree, let @whitehouse.senate.gov know.

In other news, I came across this giant toadstool at least 10 inches across this morning. Seems to have survived the hurricane or maybe thrived the hurricane.

There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.
