UPDATE: Dems lead every city council race in Aurora, Colorado - and could flip a 7-3 GOP majority into a 6-4 Dem edge - including what would be a shocking upset of MAGA media star Danielle Jurinsky, whose claims of a "complete gang takeover" led Trump to call Aurora "conquered." #copolitics

#Skycards new item update (note, @jasonchampton.bsky.social ) - I bought an airport lockpick for 200 coins to see if that would unlock Monaco. It got me there (for the item plus ~100 travel cost), but did *not* unlock it. It opened the tasks - which include 3 “domestic” (Monaco!) flights. So no dice

Consultant, claiming White House backing, called Colorado clerks to gain access to voting machines
“I’m sitting here going, ‘There’s a person spending nine years in prison here in Colorado for doing the exact same thing,’ ” one clerk said.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.
So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.
This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

The Pretenders at Radio City Music Hall in the 1990s. They played all the hits with the enthusiasm of someone doing chores. The feeling that they hated every minute of it was palpable.
It was a double bill with The B52s, who were, of course, enthusiasm personified.

very clear that official policy of the united states right now is to accept any white person abroad who claims asylum status
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country
