George Floyd death, update. The two links in my post below provide facts. Floyd's autopsy buries his paraganglioma results under the heading LEFT PELVIC MASS, at its end on pages 12 & 13. The second link is a Columbia-Presbyterian site describing these as deadly time bombs.

Just read George Floyd's autopsy report, he had a paraganglioma, which I had too. Physical stimulation (like a fight) can make them flood the body with adrenaline, causing a stroke or hypertensive crisis.

@grok what would the founding fathers have said about mixing the military with sports?

[Fred @MistysDinnerHat]

@ATabarrok The pilots need to practice, so they might as well fly over stadiums instead of mountains.

@SenWarren Please explain this: Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency.

@rushicrypto FICA taxes go to current recipients, anything left over has been used to buy Treasury Bonds, those are the Trust Fund. The bonds fund federal budget deficits.

When the taxes are insufficient, the bonds are cashed in so SS can pay benefits. In 2032 the bonds will be all gone.

@ThrillaRilla369 Cars from the 60s and 70s are fun to drive, but miss much of what we now expect.
Suspensions are too soft so handling is bad, the ball joint steering gets 'sloppy', rear wheel drive requires real snow tires in winter, no crumple zone, no cup holders, bad or no AC, they chug gas.

@lsferguson Nothing.

@IsaacHayes3 What do you think the verdict should have been, and if the races were reversed does that change your view?

@SenatorCollins , @lisamurkowski , @SenMcConnell , @SenThomTillis :

The entire country, and the world, now sees that the US does not have fair elections; this threatens the very legitimacy of its government.

Reconsider your votes - bring the Save Act back up and pass it!

California just did something incredibly stupid at the worst possible time.

By openly kneecapping Spencer Pratt in the primary, the state didn’t just protect Karen Bass from a competitive November race. It handed the rest of the country fresh, undeniable proof that their election system is designed to prevent any real challenge from ever reaching the general election. And they did it right as the Supreme Court is preparing to rule on late-arriving mail-in ballots in Watson v. Republican National Committee.

That timing matters. This wasn’t some quiet, behind-the-scenes adjustment. It was a very public execution of a candidate who was gaining traction with a modern campaign and a straightforward message. Everyone watching saw it happen in real time. The ballot drops, the sudden surge of a no-name candidate, the abrupt removal of the only outsider who was making noise ... it was all too obvious to ignore.

What California just proved is that their system cannot tolerate even the possibility of a close or uncomfortable race. Not because they fear losing power overnight, but because they fear voters seeing that the machine can be pressured at all. That revelation travels. It feeds directly into the growing national understanding that what’s happening in places like Los Angeles isn’t normal governance ... it’s managed decline protected by procedural games.

They showed their hand. And they did it at the exact moment the highest court in the country is about to decide how much longer these games are going to be allowed to continue.

@RepFine Why not have a House resolution to not seat Representatives from states that do not adhere to the SAVE Act provisions?
