This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

“I am the code.” Sure, why not. If POTUS is the law for the purposes of boat strikes or attacking Iran, I guess he’s the building safety code as well. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

This is the far more likely pathway for how AI will end us all, btw. Not via some superintelligent swarm of paperclip maximizers, but by a cascading sequence of dumb fuckups driven by human beings who have arranged things to be fast-moving and catastrophically fragile while also being really lazy.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

National security decision-making has a longer time horizon. It would be stupid for Canada, Europe, South Korea, etc. to act now based on assuming the US will be a reliable in a decade. We have shown that we are not. Many Americans still don’t appreciate how profound of a change that is.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Republicans often take credit for accomplishments despite voting against them, while also attributing blame to Democrats for issues they either caused or allowed to occur. It is time for Texas to shift its political alignment.

BREAKING: The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts closed Tuesday
afternoon after its board of trustees, led by President Donald Trump, voted to
immediately shutter its doors for two years of renovations.
From Grey Battle on the ground

Underneath is a photo of an electronic sign outside the Kennedy Center flashing in all capital letter “EMERGENCY ALERT. BUILDING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. EMERGENCY ALERT.”

Some great reporting from the scene by @janegreybattle.
My paraphrase: At about 4:30 p.m., the center started closing. A message played over the speakers announcing the building was shutting down. Security guards escorted visitors out through the Hall of Nations.

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).
