Republicans announce the entire state of Indiana will be defunded if they do not obey Trump by gerrymandering their state.

Two peace deals that Trump took credit for appear to be unraveling at the same time:
Fighting has not abated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or between Cambodia and Thailand in the wake of Trump-backed "agreements".

Note: Trump's plummeting rating on the economy has pierced the crucial Darwin Threshhold...the point at which his approval rating on handling the economy (31 percent) is actually lower than the number of Americans who do not believe in evolution (33-37 percent), the once solid core of Trump support.
There's still room to drop further. "Trump’s handling of the economy is at its lowest point in AP-NORC polling" apnews.com/article/trum...
With CUSMA negotiations w/Canada & Mexico, as well as the renewal of the one-year tariff truce w/China in 2026, expect more market-moving new tariffs next year.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

This story is insane, but the moral appears to be don’t fuck with @dfriedman.bsky.social.
Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.
What came next was even wilder.

Unfortunately, under our Kavanaugh Stops regime, it is entirely rational for anyone who appears Hispanic to carry proof of citizenship at all times. The worst part is that it might not be enough: ICE/CBP keep arresting people who have proof of citizenship, refusing to accept its validity.
U.S. Latinos are now more worried about being asked to prove their legal status during their daily activities (43% today vs. 31% in March), and roughly 1 in 5 have changed their daily routines because of it.

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.
