Predictions:
1) Trump gives Machado nothing, he’s got the award in hand.
2) he displays it in the Oval Office
3) When he leaves office he illegally takes it with him to mar a lago

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.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

It's well past time to delete your X account, if you still have one. It's not worth the moral compromise.
One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

Apropos of...everything a reminder that I have a list of accounts that regularly post relaxing and random stuff. It features NO NEWS. If you're trapped scrolling and need to shift your attention to something calmer it's a good way to do it. You can also pin it to your feeds

Deactivated my account this morning - well past due.
Getting off Twitter, a platform which gleefully allows users to post revenge porn and child pornography with no oversight or regulation, also includes "just popping over there to grab screenshots to post on BlueSky" by the way.

Trump's Epstien cover-up is the most incompetent cover-up ever.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

RUNNING MAN (2025) may have been more faithful to the beat-by-beat plot of the book, but as a result of sanding off every single rough edge, it makes it feel as though the Schwarzenegger version actually retained much more of the sleazy, cynical, nihilistic tone of the source material.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
