Trump loses favor with crypto fans who call him out for cashing in

The president’s 2024 campaign leaned into crypto to attract young men, a demographic that is deserting Republicans in the midterms.

Earlier this evening a federal jury struck down a brazenly unconstitutional traffic stop scheme "that turned mass surveillance of American drivers into a pipeline of pretextual traffic stops and unconstitutional searches." ij.org/press-releas...

The unconstitutional program ran in five steps: First, surveillance cameras across the state and country recorded license plates and logged when and where cars went. Second, analysts and anonymous tipsters flagged ordinary travel, like driving toward the border and back, as suspicious. Third, Bexar County sheriff’s deputies invented a traffic violation to justify pulling over the flagged driver. Fourth, deputies pulled drivers into their front seats, interrogated them and asked consent to search their car. Finally, fifth, if the driver refused to consent to a search, a K-9 alert from a manipulated dog supplied the probable cause to search anyway. This practice happened for four years to countless motorists.

There seems to be no interest among the press to analyze, document and chart his methods. He stands still, focuses attention speaks clearly with good eye contact, and just lies his ass off continuously. Perfect illustration of a con man’s technique. And it’s happening every day.

Agree. But the message is simple and understandable, even though it’s a lie. So it sells. Democrats have to do the same except w/ truth as the basis. Some have been pretty good at this – JFK, Bernie, Mamdani, Clinton at times.

One thing that really sinks in when you spend a few days listening to politicians speechify about the Colorado River crisis is how ill-equipped the American political mainstream is to deal with the accelerating harms of climate change. They don't really even have the language to talk about it.

A big problem is the reluctance/inability of politicians & mainstream journalists to discuss climate change in the West using basic facts & research thats been around for decades.

The Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to restrict voting by mail. You can be registered to vote in your state and still be left off Trump’s new federal list. If you’re not on it, USPS can refuse to deliver your ballot. Vote in person. Vote early if you can, or on Election Day.

Axelrod's part of a political consultant oligarchy who has way more in common w/his Republican "friends" in that club than he does w/Dem senators working to topple a imbecilic fascist POTUS. The mere fact of saying something self-evidently true (& a bit understated) makes Ossoff a frightening ogre.

Think of it as a corollary to Michel's Iron Law of Oligarchy. Axelrod's in the oligarchic club of political consultants who've had success in getting someone elected POTUS. He has way more in common w/his Republican "friends" in that club than he does w/"disruptive"Dem senators.
