A fun thing about President Business is that he fucking sucks at business worse than anyone else ever has This is an explicit promise to blow up the national debt in a way that would make Hugo Chávez look like a tight-fisted number-crunching white-shirt fiscal conservative *for an election stunt*

A lot of the inefficiencies in government come from efforts to make it *leaner*: micromanaging workers in the name of eliminating waste, withholding the perks and salaries that they could expect at an equivalent private sector job, etc

In convo with U.S. Hispanic Business Council, Texas GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton says he supports bringing data centers to Texas. “There’s plenty of open space in Texas," he says. "They're creating a lot of jobs." Data centers will be "a huge economic boon."

It's weird that Trump is speaking at 2PM until you realize that his audience is not the American people -- he doesn't give a shit about us -- his audience are cable news producers, who will now have time to propagandize up whatever shit show speech he delivers in time for the evening viewers.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

There are lots of ways to answer this and one of them is that studying history makes you a better citizen and our public universities have an obligation to produce good citizens. History education is essential to a republican model of government. Engineering is not.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
