🚨 Republican South Dakota state Sen. Tom Pischke has been charged with two felony counts of election fraud.

He forged 16 forms putting people on the ballot without their knowledge.

I wish people would stop spreading scurrilous rumours that President Trump is constantly shitting himself in public. After all, it’s perfectly normal to place a black mat underneath him when he visited the Fox News studio with its white sofa yesterday…

So apparently, Donald Trump dragged the Secretary of the Smithsonian into the Oval Office to yell at him about being woke, but then he had an episode and forgot the purpose of the meeting. Instead, he talked about renaming Dulles Airport after himself.

The president is unwell, and nobody wants to talk about it.

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu is publicly calling on the White House to answer growing questions surrounding reports that an unidentified 79-year-old man received exclusive access to a powerful experimental drug through the FDA’s compassionate use program.

“The White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said. “Did Donald Trump get this special drug?”

Yesterday’s abrupt retirement announcement by Gen. Chris Donahue, the Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) and NATO’s Allied Land Command, was made at the request of the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, people familiar with the matter tell The Wall Street Journal.

Prior to this announcement, many believed Donahue was on a fast track to become Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, having led the Army’s Delta Force commandos in Iraq and Syria when it took the fight to Islamic State militants and was the “last man out” when the troops he commanded at the 82nd Airborne Division were called in to secure the 2021 evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghan allies from Kabul, Afghanistan.

General Donahue’s removal is said to be part of an ongoing push by Hegseth to put his imprint on the military’s leadership, while squeezing out officers with track records of battlefield valor and command experience in favor of less accomplished political loyalists, officers that fully support both himself and President Trump.

Let me be really clear about what just happened.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.

You don’t get to look away from this one.

This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.

Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.

Stay informed. Stay loud.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

🚨 BREAKING: Andrew Tate appears to have accidentally helped REOPEN the UK criminal investigation into himself.

Court documents show Tate's lawyers asked Hertfordshire Police to hand over evidence from the original investigation so they could use it against the women suing him in civil court.

But when Detective Superintendent Sally Phillips reviewed the material, she became "increasingly concerned about the quality and completeness" of the original investigation.

The result?

Hertfordshire Police decided to launch a full CRIMINAL REINVESTIGATION into the rape and sexual assault allegations.

An amazing legal own goal.

The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.

Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.

Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”

It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.

End Citizens United.

As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.

A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.

That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

For almost six months, I followed the money behind the largest data center campus in Maryland — going up right now on the old Eastalco site in Adamstown.

I expected a local development story. What I found was a Texas private-equity firm and a consortium anchored by the sovereign wealth funds of Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Singapore, buying critical American infrastructure and building it on Frederick County farmland.

I found a county that doubled its data-center zone over the objection of its own planners — after the developers who stood to profit had funded the majority that voted yes.

I found 21,000 neighbors who gathered signatures in the dead of winter to put it to a vote, and a consortium of global capital that went to court and got that vote thrown out on a technicality last week.

And I found the bill the rest of us pay: power bills projected up as much as $70 a month, five million gallons of water a day in the middle of a drought, and 99 diesel generators permitted within a thousand feet of Carroll Manor Elementary.

It's all here, sourced line by line. The referendum is dead. The fight is not. Please read it, and share it with someone in MD-06 before Tuesday.
