The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Elon Musk mimicked a salute associated with a man who carried out one of the worst genocides in world history. Here’s why I will probably give him an award later this year anyway.

Right now the three women are being moved by Hamas from their hiding places to where they will be handed to the Red Cross. Other released hostages have said this is the most terrifying part of the process - when they are the most exposed and vulnerable.
Theses are the Israeli hostages to be released by Hamas on Sunday

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

He has gotten multiple cabinet and Knesset members to write letters to the teachers on his behalf asking for an extension. It sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. All of these letters explain how busy he is running a war and all that.
Netanyahu is due to take the stand in his corruption trial tomorrow afternoon in Tel Aviv.
He has pulled any possible excuse to try to postpone his testimony. With some success. But now the time has come.
He is so desperate that I wouldn't rule out a surprise ceasefire and hostage deal.

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday signed into law House Bills 4127 and 4128. The bills, sponsored by Democrats and introduced last year, prohibit the possession of firearms at polling locations on Election Day and during early voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

But it seems *INSANE* to have dozens of stories and a fucking live blog on this given everything else that's so much more consequential happening right now.
