Again, one reason not to doom is that the regime personnel don't think what they've built is going to be around for the long haul, or they wouldn't be this obviously scared of being disbarred
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 5h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
New in PN: Jeanine Pirro crashes into the limit of Trump's lies "Did Pirro genuinely believe the scales would fall from Trump’s eyes if she showed him some pictures from the Park Service proving his contractor was at fault for the wrecked pool? This is Donald Trump we’re talking about!"

Racism is the primary factor keeping Trump's net approval rating over 30%. 75% of Americans say he is a bad role model. 75% think he stinks at economic leadership. Even die hard MAGA hates his Iran war. But Republicans are happy when Trump hurts immigrants and supresses minorities.
Got a close eye on MI-07, too. Lawrence is ahead by 7 at the moment. Multiple counties haven't reported anything yet, though. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.
Almost two dozen Democratic-led states asked the Supreme Court to keep Trump's anti-mail voting order blocked, saying it poses "extraordinary threats to our democracy." They warned millions of voters, especially those with disabilities and in rural areas, could be denied mail ballots this fall.

When ships don't move for days or weeks, microbes, algae and other marine organisms can colonize the submerged parts of the vessel. After just 10 days, these organisms can hit the "rapid growth phase."
1,500 ships have sat idle near the Strait of Hormuz since February. Scientists warn the organisms colonizing their hulls could trigger a global invasive species crisis once they start moving again. "It’s a perfect storm."

New York Magazine@nymag.com · 23h agoOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
