Don't tell Trump but the Chinese just came out with 'Super Duper Intelligence'.

I'mTheProblemIt'sMe @spin4srv.bsky.social · 6h

What's interesting about this (beyond how stupid it is) is that Trump still think he's a branding genius. He thinks he can PR his way through any crisis. He's a savant, but at avoiding consequences for his actions. He thinks it's because he's clever but it's because he's shameless.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. Our latest cover story: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj

Mother Jones magazine cover linking the Roberts Supreme Court to a revival of Jim Crow: a black judicial robe hangs next to a white KKK hooded robe with a hand reaching toward it; headline "The Southern Strategy" and subhead "Jim Crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

Musk can flood elections with cash because #SCOTUS barred legislatures from limiting it in McCutcheon v. FEC (2014). To beat big money, Congress can pass a constitutional amendment, or states can call a convention to propose one, ratified by three-fourths of the states. tinyurl.com/3k94tjhh

I'm not the audience for the Smith hearing, but the main political issue here is that Republicans want the world to know that Smith subpoenaed congressional phone records as he investigated Jan. 6 etc, and nobody outside the Senate can explain to you why that's bad.

Dems need to win PA by around 9 points to flip its Senate (~D+11 nationally). In that situation, they likely also take the state legislatures of WI, MI, AZ and NV Gov. Dems would have the votes to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over the line and eliminate the Electoral College.
