The Blackbird of Annoyance has replaced the Bluebird of Happiness in my life

A black bird stands on some cracked concrete, looking upwards at camera. The angle, its stance and its plumage - white eyes are the only let-up from the black - makes the bird look thoroughly pissed off

Just a reminder that the few remaining experts at the CDC's food-borne illness division identified Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclospora outbreak very early on, but because the owner of Taylor Farms is a big Trump donor, he was able to prevent a recall for weeks as thousands fell ill.

⚠️ Weeks before the midterms, Georgia's GOP-controlled election board is asking the Trump DOJ to declare the state's federally certified voting machines illegal. It's an extraordinary attack by unelected officials — and the DOJ has no legal authority to do it.

Correction to my first post, sounds like it was the deceased family members' lawyer who presented the AI video, not the state. The video seems to be a mix of real footage and AI impersonation. Even the opinion doesn't seem sure what was "real."

The closest comparison the court could find was Rose, a case where the family presented photos of the victim's young sons at his gravesite. That was "uncomfortably close," but at least it presented a real event. The AI video "does not reflect actual events," it was the "imaginings" of his sister

Trump loves campaigning when he is talking about how great he is. He hates it when it means having to say anything nice about any other politician (international strongmen excluded.) Midterms are brutal on him.
