Trump sues California for “illegals voting”; state AG Rob Bonta explains the state’s position is “eat a fuck.” (Gift link New York Times)
More on the putsch — I see what I did there! — to denaturalize Rep. Ilhan Omar. (Talking Points Memo)
YAY it’s Blaire Erskine!
Here’s Wonkpal Charlotte Clymer getting her licks in. (Charlotte’s Web Thoughts)
Trump has called off the reality show firing squad. Everybody please keep Pete Hegseth’s manhood in your thoughts and prayers at this terrible time. (BBC)
Now let’s read something horrible! “The Indian Question”: Should this white supremacist chud try to do a mass shooting at a Hindu temple AGAIN, or were his coworkers correct to tell the cops he’d tried but then his rifle jammed and he was gonna try again and get him arrested, like don’t they even know the bro (mass shooter) code? (Chicago Tribune)
The other “The Indian Question”: Which of Trump’s scurrilous terrible race attacks is going to incite a mass shooting next? Is it the ones against the Somalis, the Haitians, or this awful fucking thing he said?
Elon is throttling the satellite internet for Ukraine’s drone operators while they’re targeting Russian ammunition depots — and their defensive drones while Putin’s shooting missiles at them and killing civilians. Elon’s blaming Trump. They’re both on Putin’s side, while Putin aids Iran in the war Trump started. (Status Kuo)
Sure, yes, Meta AI can’t make posters for “Lula” but can make them for “Flavio” because of “safety,” sure, yes. Goddamn Zuckerberg and Elon and the rest of those douches are really going to kill us :) (Folha) Meanwhile, Amsterdam police seized a leftist media computer server as a favor to the US, because anti-fascism is illegal apparently. (Keep It Free)
Paolo Zampolli — the Melania BFF who had his ex deported so he could get custody — got a real good (bad) writeup in Politico today, and then he got canned. (But not for having his ex deported so he could get custody, that’s just normal Trump administration shit.) (Politico / Dan Drezner)
Aren’t we all witches though, Kansas Republican dweeb Ty Masterson? Aren’t we all? (The New Republic)
Well look at that! Americans can see the nose on their face! (The American Prospect)
Yes, I will drink an Apple-rol Spritz. (Better Homes and Gardens)

I went to the arboretum yesterday in the town where I used to live. I hadn't taken a flower photo in weeks. It's late season, I wasn't expecting much. I was wrong ! The place was full of color!
