begging people not to preemptively hand Trump powers he does not have and has no practical means of accomplishing
the scope of his actual abuses is quite bad enough on its own

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

ICE are thug scum.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The article says immigration agents took this kid's phone.
And then the phone showed up for sale at a vending machine near an ICE facility?
Did ICE agents STEAL and SELL this kid's PHONE?
This obviously isn't the worst of what's described in the article. But it tells you something.

Here's another take on a song which has been running through my head a lot these days —
"Satan thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone."

And if you lose the primary you support the winner and not pull a Cuomo
In actual fact, the way this is supposed to work is that the party unites behind the person who *wins the primary.* Until then, you've got to work for your seat. Sorry!
The articles framing is sorta funny because this clearly isn’t a centrist vs progressive thing as much as it’s a fight vs don’t fight thing

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

Loved the first two episodes of Pluribus, a lot. Rhea S brilliant as ever.
High concept tightrope acts like this are hard to maintain but if anyone can I’m thinking it’s Vince Gilligan.
