That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over. This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

Michael J. Stern@michaeljstern.bsky.social · last wk.Trump ended a bribery investigation into Susan Collins and her staff. When she says that Biden’s DOJ investigated her and found nothing, it’s a lie. Trump protected her and canned the investigation. She’s paid Trump back many times over.  newrepublic.com/post/215704/...
Turned on Giants game. An ad for the sports gambling app that sponsors the broadcast, in which one of the ESPN talking heads is practically begging me to place a bet, comes on. This is insidious and must be outlawed…but I am not holding my breath.
"Staff members and former Kennedy Center officials speculated that “Blue” was removed because Mr. Trump, who has said he considers much of modern art “a con,” did not like it." Dull-minded, paranoid, bullying, and certain that anything he doesn't like or understand must be a grift. Classic fascism.
With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.
Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
"[Y]ou’re really just collecting the worst ideas from generations of the last century. You’ve got the authoritarianism of the ’30s, the racial panic of the ’50s, the religious crusading of the ’80s, and the grievance engine of the internet... That’s a greatest hits album of stupidity.”
