Crucial swing state — Pennsylvania:
"Ongoing lawsuits on top of ballot-counting delays may well delay certification of the Commonwealth’s results in November. Given its emerging status as the must-win state in the 2024 election, Pennsylvania will once again have the eyes of the nation on its election system."

@volkris I will not engage in semantics other than to say that your objection reminds me of the (#Russia funded) #NRA #TalkingPoint “#Guns don’t kill people, people do.” #USpol #RoevemberIsComing

#Trump has bragged many times “I was able to kill #RoeVWade.”


In a blog post from 2012, J.D. Vance, then a law student at Yale, criticized the Republican Party for being “openly hostile to non-whites” and alienating “Blacks, Latinos, [and] the youth.”

Four years later, he asked his former college professor to take down the post, titled “A Blueprint for the GOP.”

Alas, CNN does not provide the link to that Page of #JDVance's original policy opinions, "A Blueprint for the GOP."
Moreover, the #WaybackMachine's (@internetarchive ) search didn't yield the deep link.

IMO, this telltale page should be widely distributed.


As headlines about the Trump family’s “World Liberty Financial” crypto project appear in outlets like the New York Times, a scam website spoofing the project remains on the front page of Google search results. Blockchain data show people actively purchasing the token.

This is the same scam URL and token address promoted by the hackers who compromised Twitter accounts belonging to Lara and Tiffany Trump two weeks ago.

Of course, #TFG's comments are unfounded and pie in the sky.
And, OFC he doesn't know it, but in essence, he's actially right about the potential of reclaiming unused #rainfalls, in particular using #AtmosphericRivers weather conditions on the #WestCoast.
There are already some projects of limited scope, apart from #LA:

As Trump launches a crypto project, he appears to be meandering from one get-rich-quick opportunity to the next, without regard for merit or dignity. #CryptoIsBullshit #GetRobbed

Look at this clip. In addition to a surprisingly normal journalistic reaction from the FOXNews interviewer, you see live in real time how people get hired on to the Trump campaign. This guy was pitching private protection services directly to Trump through FOX. What a mess.

Panel: How the Israeli army gets away with killing foreign activists such as Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist in the occupied West Bank. Investigations rarely lead to prosecutions.

I am thankful that former President Trump is safe. I commend the U.S.
Secret Service and law enforcement partners for their vigilance.

As President Biden said, our Administration will ensure the Secret Service has every resource, capability, and protective measure necessary to carry
out its critical mission.

“Liz Cheney, the Republican vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, did ‘all she could’ to protect the rightwing supreme court justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, the political activist Ginni Thomas, by blocking an in-depth investigation of Ginni’s involvement in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, a new book says.”

This is probably unsurprising to most, but still a good reminder that the Cheneys are about power, not about doing what is right.

“Donald Trump repeated racist claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, on Friday, doubling down on anti-immigrant rhetoric as residents in the town have faced bomb threats and have detailed their fears amid harassment.”

“JD Vance, who represents the residents of Springfield as Ohio’s US senator, continued to attack the town on Friday, leaning into racist tropes that immigrants were responsible for bringing disease and crime to the community.”

As Jamelle Bouie says in the video; this is blood libel. They know what they are doing.

"Pope Francis on Friday criticized Donald Trump over his plan to deport millions of immigrants and Kamala Harris over her stance supporting abortion rights."

"'You must choose the lesser evil', he continued. 'Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, [has to] think and do this'."

Fuck the Pope, and fuck this bullshit false equivalence 🚮

But hey, it's the Catholic Church, they tend to like fascists and people who commit sexual abuse.

Wow. This is a pretty good poll for Harris, even if Iowa is probably a bridge too far.

#Trump leads #Harris by only 4 points in #Iowa, erasing a lead of 18 points over #Biden from earlier in the Spring.

The people who made this happen have already moved on to the next step: adding a fundamental right to abortion to Arizona's state constitution. They've gotten a constitutional amendment to that effect on the ballot there in November.

I know we can't read too much into one poll, and there are probabilistic models out there that take a range of polls and other fundamentals into account to predict what will happen at the electoral college, and left-wing parties under non-proportional voting systems are still pretty conservative, but boy does this feel like the seismic shift we've been waiting for. https://www.yahoo.com/news/new-yahoo-newsyougov-poll-after-debate-harris-surges-to-5-point-lead-over-trump-among-registered-voters-in-head-to-head-matchup-122213811.html

A cryptocurrency-focused super PAC has just spent another $7.6 million to support Republican Bernie Moreno in his Ohio Senate race against Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown. This PAC has poured $27 million into backing Moreno in the last month.

If you've ever found yourself tempted by the lure of #USPol conspiracies I recommend this podcast. Except the real conspiracies are covered. I've only listened to 0.5 episodes (due to my attention limitations) but the host is covering the actual conspiracies of the heritage foundation and the federalist society. Link is to YouTube but audio only. I'm sure it's available in podcast places.
