Love me some Rachel Hurley. She figures out some of the important stuff.
Six days ago, USPS changed how postmarks work. Your ballot might now get dated days after you mail it. And the Supreme Court may soon rule that doesn’t matter anyway.

White House to lead review of some Smithsonian museums
The White House said on Tuesday it will lead an internal review of some Smithsonian museums and exhibitions ahead of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, after President Donald Trump earlier this year accused the institution of spreading "anti-American ideology" and raised alarm among civil rights advocates.

Usually stoic Miedema emotional after goalscoring milestone
Netherlands striker Vivianne Miedema rarely betrays much emotion, but her 100th goal for her country, scored in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Wales at the Women's European Championship, produced plenty of happy tears.

This is the stuf we won;t see. The videos will of course be edited. Circling the wagons just like they were circled around Biden. The difference being that Biden's objective was not to kill democracy, not war that the objective of the wagon circlers.

I sure hope someone else is going to make transcripts of Rambleman's remarks and post them prominently.
NEW — The WH has removed transcripts of Trump's remarks from its website, saying it will now just post videos. The one left is Trump's inaugural address.
