BREAKING:
Liberals on the Wisconsin Supreme Court have just cleared the way for the use of absentee ballot drop boxes — updating the rules months before the 2024 election and reversing a decision conservatives made two years ago when they controlled the court. https://washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/05/wisconsin-ballot-drop-boxes/

Hahahaha! You have to click the xit to watch. It's Battery-Nado Week!
Thanks to Donald Trump, Fishing Season reaches new depths of terror.

Funny how the MSM missed this energy and enthusiasm yesterday. Click the xit to watch.
Whoa. Just look at this amazing energy from Team Biden-Harris in New Hampshire on this Fourth of July. Don’t let anyone tell you voters aren’t energized, fired up, and ready to re-elect President Biden & Vice President Harris this November.

A long article, but worth the read. Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead. www.salon.com/…
Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people.
✂️
The strategy largely works, because less politically engaged Americans assume that "both sides" engage in hyperbole. Low information people are ready to believe the false accusations that liberals are "deranged" when they warn of Trump's plans to be a dictator. Project 2025 seemed to be rolled out with this assumption that "normies" would never hear of it, and that the few who did hear would dismiss the fears as overheated nonsense.
Instead, however, there are promising signs that people who aren't political junkies are starting to hear about Project 2025. Even better, those folks aren't immediately dismissing it as progressive theatrics but may be genuinely alarmed.
Trump's Project 2025 leader: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”
Trump’s move today claiming to disavow Project 2025 is just like how he bragged about overturning Roe then tried to distance himself from extreme laws implemented by many states after he saw the polling. Same drill. Wasn’t me!

Of course he did. What will Loose-y Cannon do?
Immunity only relevant if Cannon concludes the mere act of removing the documents to Florida, in and of itself, constituted an official act. Doubtful but who the hell knows anymore.

NEW: Trump tells Judge Cannon that the Supreme Court’s immunity decision supports his efforts to dismiss his charges related to unauthorized retention of classified documents in Florida. In a separate motion, Trump asks the judge to allow supplemental briefing on the matter.

Hmm. Watch this space.
A Fed'l judge in Alaska who was appointed by Trump has resigned in a 2 sentence letter to President Biden, effective Monday, amid unconfirmed rumors of some type of scandal. The speed/method of resignation is unusual, though.
I have a feeling this comment is ghost approved.
I have no doubt Ralph Wiggum ended up becoming a political pundit.

I couldn't get the graphs to post normally, so am just including a link to the article so you can see for yourself. They're pretty impressive and informative too. 2024 UK general election results in graphics. www.cnn.com/…
The tectonic plates of British politics have shifted after Britons resoundingly voted to put an end to 14 years of Conservative rule, and deliver a landslide victory for the Labour Party.
✂️
The results represent one of the largest swings in British political history, and a stunning defeat for the Conservative Party after 14 years in government, bringing a brutal end to Rishi Sunak’s premiership as his party lost around two-thirds of the 372 seats it was defending.
Britain’s traditional third party, the Liberal Democrats, also enjoyed a huge bump, going from just 11 seats won at the 2019 general election to more than 70 – its best result ever.
Nigel Farage’s right-wing, populist Reform UK party won its first five seats and came second in many more, splitting the right-wing vote and contributing to the Conservatives’ losses.
