The voting machines weren't hacked and the vote counts weren't fabricated in 2024 for all the same reasons it didn't happen in 2020, either.
Most charitably, those pushing that stuff are gullible and ill-informed. There's a real constitutional omni-crisis going on without making stuff up.

This is like a Keaton Patti "I asked a bot" bit.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea.
The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution.
If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.

Trump: "If this country is not allowed to have tariffs, if this country is not allowed to have the president negotiate on behalf of it w/tariffs, we are put in a position where we're gonna be a 3rd world country. We can't let that happen. I think it's the most important case that we are gonna have"

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID?
It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Impoundment is wildly unconstitutional, as even Scalia & Rehnquist long confirmed. When Nixon claimed full impoundment powers in 1973, SCOTUS shot him down 9-0, and Congress passed a statutory ban on top of the constitutional ban.

100% this. The whole notion that the Constitution itself grants the president some inherent removal power Congress can't limit by law is completely without textual basis and a huge part of how we got the unchecked, anti-constitutional, imperial presidency.
TIRED: The Radical Republicans were wrong to impeach Andrew Johnson
WIRED: They should have impeached him for undermining Reconstruction, not for violating the unconstitutional Tenure of Office Act.
INSPIRED: The TOA was constitutional & convicting him would have saved us a lot of trouble today

I’m very amused by MAGA suddenly horrified by air quality and the long term effects of wildfire smoke.
Maybe they should stop living in fear? Wildfire smoke is natural with a 99.99% survival rate.

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers,
Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.
An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.
