I just listened to one of my all-time favorite songs, “After the Gold Rush” by Neil Young. Now that AI may kill us all, it takes on a whole new meaning. Fun times we’re forced to live in.

Trump Votes by Mail Again in Florida
The president also voted by mail in 2020 and in a Florida special election in March, even as he has railed against the practice and equated it to cheating.

Blatant stolen valor from a man who dodged the draft five times; four while he was in college and the last one because of his feet. This disgusts me even more than his sick posts portraying himself as Jesus or the Pope. A slap in the face to those who serve and their families while Trump plays war

So how’s this no-bid project working for you, Dougie, after Jeanine Pirro threw you under the bus? You both look like fools over the non-existant vandalism of the Pool. “We have tremendous evidence” until the Defense demanded it. That didn’t exist either. Enjoy your Trump ass-chewing.

When are Republicans going to realize the gravity of Trump’s decline? This isn’t like taking the car keys away from an elderly relative. This is our country at stake, led by a guy who has lost his marbles. The SC and Congress are complicit and are in fact empowering this pathetic man.

So Trump wants Jimmy Kimmel fired over a joke about Melania being an expectant widow. At the news of Robert Mueller’s death Trump said,“Good. I’m glad he’s dead.” Kimmel was joking, Trump wasn’t. I guess it’s only free speech when Trump says it. Clueless oaf.

I’m truly sad for what happened at the WHCD. But seriously, this thing was billed as “Celebrating the First Amendment.” ALL journalists partying with Trump et al. must see the irony in this ridiculous banner, yet there you were. Boycotting would have been the wiser choice to maintain credibility.

If patting yourself on the back was an Olympic sport, Stauber (R-MN D8) would get the gold. Even if he’s ousted come Nov. the damage is done and the door has been opened; the Boundary Waters and all public lands are fair game. This is mostly a political win so don’t panic. Mining isn’t imminent.

GOOD NEWS: A federal judge ruled against RFK Jr.'s declaration that care for young trans people was "unsafe"—part of what HHS was using to intimidate providers into ending this care. Medical decisions shouldn't be up to politicians—they're for doctors, patients, & parents.
Washington Post: "Judge rules US government overreached with transgender health care declaration." "“Today’s win breaks through the noise and gives some needed clarity to patients, families, and providers,” Letitia James, the Democratic New York attorney general who led the lawsuit, said in a statement Thursday. “Health care services for transgender young people remain legal, and the federal government cannot intimidate or punish the providers who offer them.”"
