This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

We've lost the plot as a society when we started demonizing words like "processed" and "chemical". H2O is a chemical. You are made up of chemicals. A diced tomato is processed, by definition. Nearly everything we eat is processed one way or another. Words have meaning!

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage.
To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.
The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

We’re honestly still taken aback by Elon advising the Pentagon on the future of wars. Didn’t we all see how badly he failed with DOGE?

The overwhelming consensus is for journalists to boycott the White House in solidarity, and for those impacted to sue. Gray rock him.
Curious as to what you think. Should all the journalists walk out and stop covering the White House? That would leave all the right wing nuts there, and I think it would be what Trump wants. But what kind of coverage can he get if the majors aren't there? Regardless, everyone should sue. Thoughts?
