I AM LEAVING MASTODON NOW FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

I am fine. I am not in any kind of trouble mentally or physically. I'm just taking a bit of a break.

@YakyuNightOwl which is what makes me wonder why there isn't more reporting on what seems such obvious foreign manipulation.

Smart folks have been saying for WEEKS that the logistical hurdles associated w/getting "new candidate x" on 50 state ballots are *impossible* to overcome at 11th hour.

As are the obstacles to using the financial war chest Biden has amassed, skillfully I might add.

So why the hell is this still leading news cycles? In whose interest is that?

Via Pagliery:

#MichaelCohen is finally asking #SCOTUS to review the way #Trump seems to have had him revenge jailed in '20.

Case has all the makings of another constit crisis.

Today's the deadline for Cohen to file his petition for a writ of certiorari. Sotomayor gave him until 7/10...

In some respects, the lower courts really dodged the central question in this case: How can someone hold accountable a president who allegedly weaponizes federal law enforcement?

@ceartas And if I may add. The arrogance of a movie star inserting himself in the role that the 25th Amendment is designed to play is so toxically undemocratic as to beggar all description.

What Clooney is saying is: the entire Cabinet doesn't know what it's doing, but he does. They're constitutional officers; he's a guy who's been associated with some good films.

2 words. Each 1 syllable. 2nd="off."
