The standard red/blue electoral map makes it appear that scattered blue enclaves are hopelessly surrounded by overwhelming red. It misrepresents reality by ignoring population & I think encourages anti-democracy antics in red states. Use a "land doesn't vote, people do" visualization instead.

Should be emphasized that the so-called transcript of DOJ meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell was transcribed post-facto from recordings provided by DOJ. There was no stenographer present during the meeting & there is no way to know if the "transcript" we now have represents the meeting accurately.

The QUID is in. The QUO is coming soon. (And watch the Dems' subpoena effort, which includes Bill & Hillary, backfire by diverting heat from Trump to them.)

I asked ChatGPT (free version) to create a spreadsheet tracking all Trump's executive orders, with summaries of the orders, the legal challenges, outcomes in court, & present status. No can do: That's an "excessive" request. I'd really like to have such a spreadsheet & keep it updated.
