In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

Lol. See BS got their government approval and immediately went back to reporting the news.

Paint was seen peeling from the floor of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, weeks after a $14 million renovation that included a new color President Trump called “American Flag Blue.”

@CliffordAsness Um. Stuff like this will probably end up helping Republicans unless you are implying that Republicans will never win the popular vote again

[Homeland Dems @HomelandDems]

Unless your name was Alex Pretti.

When Cook says you're in trouble, you're in trouble (except House Republicans in 2020?)

[Charlie Cook @CharlieCookDC]

Midterm elections are almost always bad for a President’s party. But how bad? Is a just-released Fox News poll in Ohio a dead canary in the coal mine? A state that Trump won by eight pts twice (2016 & 2020) and 11 points in 2024 should not look like this https://t.co/NLMDRhCMHG

Tulip Bulbs In Geostationary Orbit---The Insanity Of Space X's $1.7 Trillion Valuation - https://t.co/JfLkdrm5Hu Boy, do we have inflation! And we're not referring merely to yesterday's +4.2% Y/Y gain on the CPI and today's +6.5% Y/Y rise in the PPI.

The ultimate inflation...

Tracey was right.

[Michael Tracey @mtracey]

@Carpe_DMT He seems to have been severely impacted by the stroke, to the point that it's questionable he could perform the highly demanding job of US Senator

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

Fetterman will never be this outraged about Ken Paxton.

But he’ll effectively endorse a Republican for Senate if a Democrat calls out AIPAC.

@RepNancyMace Thanks for the Epstein Files, but you deserve this ratio

The leopard ate HIS face? No way.

Karen Bass rigged the election in Los Angeles so that she could face a more threatening challenger from the left in an overwhelmingly liberal city rather than a challenger from the right at a time when MAGA is the most toxic political brand. Very astute analysis here.

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

When Democrats tried in 2020 to get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to count early votes early—like Florida—Republicans killed the bills so Trump could win day-of-voting tallies and try to throw out mail in ballots. It’s a scam for people Trump thinks are stupid.

[oldbluffer @oldbluffer]

@JoeyMannarino Will @realDonaldTrump talk about this?

[oldbluffer @oldbluffer]

@realtimsharp That ratio is going to be epic

I'm sorry, but the main "accuser" in this story -- if you could even call these "accusations" of anything -- just happens to be a Republican DC think tank operative? C'mon

[oldbluffer @oldbluffer]

@Just_GLM @Amy_Siskind MAGA will believe in voter fraud because some poll worker signed an affidavit, but somehow an affidavit isn't good enough when people are trying to vote.

@Penguin57a @musharbash_b Ditto for Edwin Edwards, governor of Louisiana.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

We don’t have the First Amendment anymore. To be clear, this outcome is purely the result of overt government coercion on Paramount. When the government controls the economy, this is the result everywhere. Free markets are necessary for free speech
