It's crazy making that every time the Republicans lie about the economy they "inherited from Joe Biden" somebody doesn't pull out that copy of The Economist, roll it up, and smack them in the face with it

Let's be absolutely clear about one thing: Donald Trump is not a president. He's a squatter, being kept in the White House by Republicans to prevent us from having a president. Same goes for his whole goddamn cabinet

Let me see if I've got this right. The team of lawyers who stole an election in Florida, and gave W the presidency, are now the Scotus team at the center of the GOP theft of our democracy.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

I think the arch nonsense is more about claiming a ludicrous security purpose in the litigation like he did for the ballroom. But the general point is true: he has absolutely no intention of a peaceful transfer of power in Jan 2029, and planning and preparation for that is no doubt already underway.

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

More than 11,000 people have been sickened in a Cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce. Meanwhile, FDA inspections of foreign food facilities have fallen nearly 35% since 2019. Public health work is often invisible...until it isn’t. Cuts have consequences.
apnews.com
Cyclospora outbreak followed years of declining FDA foreign inspections
The ongoing outbreak of cyclospora tied to iceberg lettuce has raised new concerns about the safety of imported produce — and underscores a worrisome trend: The U.S. is conducting fewer inspections to catch contaminated food.
