The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “In Trump’s first term, we were told: Don’t normalize him. In his second, the task is different: Don’t believe him,” our columnist Ezra Klein says.

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

RALEIGH, NC! What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do No one wants things to fall apart, to see dreams die, to have the spit hit the fan, to get punched in the gut by bad news.

Trump said he’d drain the Washington swamp. But he appointed more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his first admin than any admin in history. What's he planning for his second term? Appointing more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his admin. Hello?
Names for key economic policy roles in a Trump Admin include:

-Scott Bessent (Keysquare Group)
-Howard Lutnick (Cantor Fitzgerald)
-Jay Clayton (Sullivan and Cromwell)
-Gary Cohn (ex-Goldman Sachs)
-Marc Rowan (Apollo)
-Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone)

It's a worker's party now.
