voting turnout report from a precinct near U of M[nnesota] that generally has low turnout, but today for the primary, they've already hit the 2022 number by 3pm. with 5 hours of voting left in the day!
The Fulvous Fuckwad has a plan to make local law enforcement into the same kind of abusive policing like that he's forced on DC and Memphis; both have National Guard troops stationed there and acting like LEOs:
> "The Trump [sic] administration is offering grants of tens of millions of dollars to cities across the US to create more Memphis-style enforcement surges – on the condition that they abandon progressive ideologies on policing.
[...]
In exchange for the funding, cities are required to comply with federal immigration enforcement requests, enact conservative policies on anti-homelessness rules, and potentially repay millions of dollars in the event of a surge in violent crime or “civil unrest”, according to a grant document." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/10/trump-administration-justice-department-policing
* FWIW, there is no definition of "progressive ideologies on policing" that I can find so the ideologies in question are whatever the regime says they are. (The policies are probably like promoting a qualified woman over an unqualified man, giving a raise to a POC that someone Melanin deficient isn't getting, rules against Stop and Frisk, or disallowing traffic stops just because.)
* The requirement of meeting immigration enforcement requests is a backdoor effort at ramming the ICEholes down the throats of the people living in the cities, whether or not the residents approve.
* Like with "progressive ideologies" there is no spelling out of what "conservative policies on anti-homelessness" will look like.
* My guess is that the repayment "in the event of a surge in violent crime or “civil unrest”" will be triggered if a city turns blue and crime increases by 7% (all crime, not just violent ones). To date, as far as I can tell, no blue city wants anything to do with this bovine scat.
Oh, and like everything else the regime does the decisions on which cities will receive grants are to be made by political operatives and not by real experts:
> "Unlike most previous grants, awards will seemingly be awarded after evaluation by senior political appointees in the justice department, and not through a more politically neutral recommendation process of peer review" ibid
3 Jan, 2027 can't come soon enough (assuming the Dems win the majority in at least one of the two Houses of Congress). The regime ***must*** be held accountable for its rampant asshattery and cease rubber stamping everything that comes out of the White House, which won't occur if the RINOs retain the trifecta.
*Nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef have been recalled after federal officials discovered the meat entered the United States without undergoing a required import reinspection. Florida-based meat supplier Corte Argentino USA LLC is recalling beef imported from Argentina, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Friday. The recall has been designated Class I, the USDA’s most serious category where there is “reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” The products were shipped to distributors and retailers in Florida and Texas without being reinspected after entering the country. The affected beef was produced between May 15 and May 20 and carries use-by or freeze-by dates between September 15 and September 20. Recalled cuts include top sirloin butt, eye round, topside cap off, flat, and knuckle. The products have the Argentine establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025” and shipping mark “26644-AA.” No illnesses have been reported. Consumers are being urged to throw away the recalled beef or return it to the place of purchase.*
Drummer and songwriter Mike Hugg of the band Manfred Mann is 86 years old today. Here's the band on Beat Club miming to the Bob Dylan-penned song, "Quinn The Eskimo":
"It’s been less than 24 hours, and freshly sworn-in Attorney General Todd Blanche has already issued entirely new legal protections for President Donald Trump.
In a memo published Monday evening, just hours after Blanche’s swearing-in ceremony, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel argued that the president could claim executive privilege over communication between him and his “private advisers,” provided that the communications were confidential and related to his presidential “decisionmaking.”
The memo also seemed to expand executive privilege to apply to communications between the president’s “direct advisers” and civilians.
If the Democrats take back the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections, this memo could have major implications for any investigation into the president and other top administration officials. Clearly, the Trump administration is preparing to stonewall Congress."
Turnout is on fire in Francesca Hong's Madison base.
🔵 2026 Spring, 11 a.m. CT: 20,524
🔵 Today, 11 a.m. CT: 24,929
Other areas we've been in contact with across the state are running at roughly 80% of 2026 spring turnout levels so far. Madison is tracking ahead of the spring.
This gives Hong a nice layer of protection. If she runs worse than polls in WOW, BOW, and CDs 3, 6, 7 (which is possible and if kind of what happened to AES last night) every extra vote in Dane is going to help.
Still thinking a lot of the Stevens vote was republicans (they had no primary and Michigan is not closed to party registrants)
As per always will support whoever, but I think Hong can absolutely do it and it will help upend more wrong centrist narratives and further prove the irrelevance of James Carville
He also got in a good jab at 🍊 about letting it go in the Oval Office. This is what we need! Confident confrontations. Treat them like the children they are. 😂👍
Well, I might be going to the doctor's soon because I might have a sinus infection. Hopefully I just overirritated my mucus membranes and the grass pollen is kicking my allergies back into high gear and it just FEELS like a sinus infection. I'll know tomorrow when I wake up.
I'm sobbing and chipmunking through a third course of antibiotics bc I had a gum infection move into the sinuses and my dentist also still thinks there's a problem inside the tooth
If I don't feel better tomorrow, I'm calling my doctor's office (they're closed right now) and making an appointment. This all started when I spent a night overmassaging my upper nose (i.e. close to my mucus membranes) out of paranoia over pain tingles.
He agreed to all of these compounding penalties assuming he’d just be able to buy his way to closure with daddies money quickly. He never actually planned to be paying Warner shareholders millions of dollars per day, or that daddy’s money pile would have been lit on fire with hot AI nonsense. OOPS!
If he threatens to move the entirety of the paramount production to Nashville Tennessee that’s not only going to cost hundreds of millions more but opening himself up to more lawsuits from infinite unions that don’t want to see that happen
So he’s basically threatening to hold his breath now like a toddler. Go on then. Give it a go. See how it works out.
The appropriate response should have been to announce that because of a credible threat the President and his security team would be taking AF1, and all civilians and nonessential personnel will be taking the Presidential Library plane.
Then, take the President and his security detail to the third plane as they did in the catering truck.
They would have still had the same level of secrecy and security with only the Air Force crew in harm’s.way.
There’s a term for how Trump used the WH Press Corps — human shields.
i've been thinking about this - lets say that the threat was credible and Iran actually went thru with it and shot down AF1 - USA goes into a panic, and then TACO pops up out of nowhere and yells 'psyche' - what does that do to his credibility? the press have just been sacrificed to Iran, he's had to stand in front of all his supporters and admit he wasn't on the plane AND THAT HE HID - i mean sure, they can point to other presidents using af1 as a decoy, but were the press and the presidents staff still on the plane? no they were not. i cant see how letting the non air force people aboard die (including his own staff) (and the air force people aren't expendable either btw) is a win for him in the aftermath

In a plane far less secure than AF1.
Let that sink in a minute.
I think it WAS the old AF1, the bribe plane was sent elsewhere.
The old AF1 was the decoy. He was on a more "standard issue" military plane.
The appropriate response should have been to announce that because of a credible threat the President and his security team would be taking AF1, and all civilians and nonessential personnel will be taking the Presidential Library plane.
Then, take the President and his security detail to the third plane as they did in the catering truck.
