Trevon Logan @trevondlogan.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Note the timing: Immediately after the election this “hearing” by a politically appointed committee will be held. Trump will then attempt to fire Governor Cook and have her “replacement” confirmed by the lame duck Sentae. This is an illegal ruse to outrun the courts when they reject the replacement. 28934

Trevon Logan @trevondlogan.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Heinous violence has long been consumption in American society. As we evolved we set more and more of it aside and largely confined it to fictional entertainment and sports. The administration has decided that they are taking us back to our roots.

Trevon Logan @trevondlogan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Because we’re in “one paper” areas the investment in these results is disproportionately large.
