Jerome Corsi — the figure behind Obama's birtherism conspiracies — is said to be playing a key role in the push for Trump's election takeover via executive order.
And he believes a plan that would allow the president to unilaterally ban mail ballots and voting machines is “being prepared.”

NEW: Months after Missouri Republicans rushed their congressional gerrymander into law, it’s still unclear which map will be used in the midterms.
But some say that was the goal.
“They are trying to slow-walk the process in hopes that they can use it in the 2026 election,” one opponent said.
Pete Hegseth suffers from the Fog of Dewar's.
Donald J. Trump, as West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom drew her last breath. She had been placed in harm’s way only because of his disregard for the law and Constitution.
Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

The front page of a NYT story, titled, "Part Enabler, Part Buffer: the Bind of the Justice Dept's No. 2" A picture shows Blanche partly visible behind a journalist's raised hand.
NYT wrote a 2,400 word story abt Todd Blanche without mentioning that he personally ordered the arrest of Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, and as such is deeply implicated in @replamonica.bsky.social case.

Happy indigenous peoples day
All because on Friday Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China, then over the weekend he switched it up with, “Don’t worry about China, it’ll all be fine.”
Not market manipulation, though. Right?
This is great
There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.
There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.
ANY of their crypto or NFT businesses would have been a waste of money if they didn't have government backing or active assistance.
Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.
The Republicans only need enough air traffic controllers to handle their own jets.
Everyone else can hire their own ATCs.
Trump says he has a “concept” of a healthcare plan.
Not a plan.
A concept.
That’s the first tell — because there is no plan. There’s only a blueprint for dismantling what exists, punishing those who struggle, and rewarding those who were born into comfort.
This is what....their 200th destructive action against the federal government that they call an "oops!"?
"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."
"God killed that fireman in Butler, PA, but He saved my life so I could trick you into sending me more money and buying even more expensive Trump-branded tacky crap I have made for pennies in China. Glory! (To me.)"
Congrats to Joel Mokyr, a professor at Northwestern in IL, on being awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
His groundbreaking work on sustained economic growth ignites innovative solutions — leading to a brighter outlook for our future.
A notice from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social.
Will run in newspapers across the nation.
ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
I get slapped when I suggest that.....!
