The courts are doing everything they can to keep elections fair. I think we will likely see more bomb threats - the 2024 model, and potentially see people trying to prevent voting. That’s why I’m urging everyone to vote early if at all possible. We’re going to win. But it’s going to be stupid.

Tom Massie posted a calendar labeling the days of work Mike Johnson canceled because of him.
Tom Massie tweet:

Here’s a calendar to show the days 
@SpeakerJohnson
 has cancelled in Congress. September 17 was canceled to avoid a vote on my Hegseth impeachment. The last two weeks in September were canceled to avoid a vote on releasing more Epstein files. He’s closing Congress to stop me.

Below there is a congressional calendar from July to December. 

July 1-2 are labeled Rules retreat.
September 17 is labeled Hegseth Holiday.
September 22 to October 2 are labeled Epstein Recess.

Trump has the nuclear codes and yet much of the country continues to pretend his behavior is normal. If we had a functional, rational, and responsible society, he would be removed from office within hours by the Republican party.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

Eggs recalled due to salmonella. Blueberries due to E. coli. Popsicles that might contain glass. Bread that might have nails in it. 30,000 pounds of beef because Trump’s USDA failed to inspect it. I guess one way to bring down Americans’ grocery bills is to leave us with nothing safe to buy.
