The Twin Cities Trials has a nice ring to it. Or Nuremburg 2: Electric Boogaloo. I'm not picky.

Please read this thread. Jamelle has done a great job of explaining exactly why the actual logistics mean "Trump will cancel midterms" is a misplaced fear.
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Republican Party of VA leadership is already starting its lies about the likely redistricting ballot measure. Completely ignores the temporary nature of the change and the context in which the measure is being suggested (i.e. offsetting other partisan gerrymanders).

Republican leader on Virginia’s gift to itself: Fair maps, not gerrymandering
The maps adopted after the 2020 census, drawn by neutral experts appointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia, produced balance: some districts lean Republican, some Democratic and some remain compet…

While I think that political violence should only be used as a last resort, I wouldn't mind seeing tarring and feathering come back into vogue.

Wading through the posts and comments in the various Virginia Republican Facebook groups makes me pretty confident that they won't ever be able to understand why they lost so badly. And if they can't understand their failure, they can't adjust and avoid future failure.

Listening to the Albemarle School Board meeting from a few days ago. Sheesh. Many speakers upset with Ms. Spillman's (the at large rep) objection to a TPUSA Club's invited speaker need to learn the difference between a difference of opinion and invalidation of another person's existence.

I can now proudly say that I've been blocked by my congressman on his not-official-but-he-uses-it-like-it-is Facebook page. Seems like John McGuire (VA-5) can handle many things, but suggesting he might cry over the election results in November is a bridge too far.

My new hobby is getting blocked by MAGA on Facebook by being as nice as possible and only critiquing the content of their comments.

Man, Facebook is trying its hardest to feed me alt-right crap reels this morning. I mean, I'll watch one for some oppo research but get me back to the good stuff. Well researched and reasoned commentary by people like @hcrichardson.bsky.social and "Amanda's Mild Takes" is my preference, thanks.

LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is.
There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement.
Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.

Alright. If they can bring people back to face charges, they can bring them back to process correctly and then either actually properly deport (not render), bring criminal charges, or release. No more of this paying to house them at CECOT fascist bullshit.

Instead of having no tax on tips, why don't we force employers to pay a living wage that doesn't take tips into account? People in traditionally tipped industries will likely do better, we don't introduce confusion to the tax code, and we get a handle on a tipping culture that is out of control.
