Trump’s daily declarations about how the war is over or almost over or will be over in 30 seconds or there's a ceasefire hiding under the next rock or whatever? That’s all non-information, just a conveyor belt of nothingburgers he feeds the press for them to dutifully regurgitate.
But •this•? This is actual news.

So this whole Great American State Fair implies the federal government supports D.C. statehood right?

Why not eliminate single-representative districts and switch to some form of proportional representation? (Or just go with nationwide independent redistricting commissions.) Too much time and resources are spent on gerrymandering and redistricting legal warfare.
But of course, those that benefit under the current system (*cough* GOP *cough*) won’t change it.

I started an AI simulation last night - two conservatives and two progressives work together to increase the US democracy from a score of 37 out of 100 to something that works better for _all_ people not just the wealthy. They agreed on 7 proposals to bring the score up to 60%. If only it were that easy.

It's only political violence if it's against wealthy conservatives. Otherwise it's just sparkling 2nd amendment rights.

If I’m a screenwriter writing this US full invasion of Cuba scenario: Cuba acquires 20–50 Shahed drones (from Iran, Russia, or Venezuela) and launches them in a saturated wave, succeeds in hitting Florida 90 miles away with at least one.
Hitting U.S. soil is huge escalation and shifts everything.

It's the White House that's saying this so I am guessing that an end to the war will be announced on Friday and then they will announce that the war is restarting on Tuesday.
"The White House believes it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue."

#uspol Early voting (midterms primary runoff) started at 7a this morning here. I showed up ~4 minutes later. Had my vote case (five different races) and was out the door four minutes later. I imagine actual election day won't be too bad but figured I'd get things done before heading to Tek so I wouldn't have to worry about coordinating things later.

Reducing the presence of the US military in Germany would be a top ten failure of military, national security and international relations not only in US history, but quite possibly world history.
The US abandoning our German allies and Europe would be so catastrophic as to strain the meaning of the word.
potus is so clearly unfit to lead. potus endangers every American, and human on earth, even by posting this.
On the face of it, building a ballroom to increase security is completely ridiculous.
If one went to a psychiatric hospital and said, “I feel like we need to build a ballroom to keep people safe,” you’d likely be evaluated and maybe held on a 72 hour hold.
Not one penny should go to potus’ illegally conceived personal fun house emotional support ballroom.
