Project 2025 is useful mostly in that a key problem Democratic campaigns have historically had is that when you tell people what Republicans actually want to do, they don’t believe you. The evil public list makes it a bit more concrete.

Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated how Dior is producing their handbags.

They found that the workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock.

Consumers pay $2,780 per bag.
The production of the bags costs Dior $57.

Where is he getting the counterfeit bills? Because I the Treasury Department would be very interested to get at the source and not hapless people passing bills they've been given. He's passing counterfeit bills knowing they're that, so he's the one committing the crime.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

How screwed are we? If Trump gets up on the debate stage and announces that he's the anti-Christ, a third of the US will say, "Well, duh... tell me something I don't know!' and go ahead and vote for him.

Not electing Clinton, in spite of her flaws, gave Trump the ability to appoint three SCOTUS justices. We lost Roe. We lost affirmative action. We can't lose anything else. Trump cannot win office again. Biden has his flaws, but Trump is anti-equity, xenophobic, and pro-money. wapo.st/4eHiRdJ

The Comstock Act could be used by Trump to ban abortion nationwide.

Sen. Tina Smith and colleagues will introduce legislation today, targeting the 151-year-old law.

It's only about 81 here in the Seattle area, but instead of the guest bed in the very cool daylight basement, Kasha's sacked out upstairs. However, the bigger issue is that in about two hours a strange cat is going to arrive while we cat-sit for our daughter. Thus the side-eye in this photo.

You mean like the nuclear submarine secrets he shared with the gabby Austrailian tycoon at Mar a Lago? He should go to jail for that, too. Solitary, if needed.
