USPS eyes new rule that would block ballots in states that balk at Trump’s demands

The Trump administration’s highly aggressive efforts to obtain state voter rolls has, at least so far, failed spectacularly, losing in eight out of eight court fights.

But as such federal efforts continue, there’s apparently a new twist on the broader gambit related to state voter rolls. The New York Times reported:

"Today's ‌Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass ​the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

He governs from between his legs, because that seems to be what the most committed voting bloc in this country seems to want. Everyone else, who would be a majority if they cared about the process at all, is too busy surviving or entertaining themselves.

Trump ousts members of bipartisan election commission ahead of midterms

President Donald Trump has ousted the remaining commissioners from a bipartisan federal agency charged with helping state and local officials conduct elections in an apparent move to assert control over voting ahead of the midterms.

The president removed the two Democratic members of the Election Assistance Commission on Thursday while a Republican was allowed to resign, according to a White House official and three other people familiar with the dismissals.

Times Journalists Subpoenaed as Trump Escalates Pressure on Media

The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.

The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.

Apparently the Orange Turd is going to hold a national televised speech on Thursday and the rumor is he's going to announce a new election conspiracy
and that Democratic Senators Jon Ossof and Raphael Warnock are illegitimate because of fraud. This is all part of his plan to sow confusion and doubt in the safety of our elections and to take control of them. Of course, like almost all of his rants, he'll have no proof or use one or two instances to claim widespread election fraud and the MAGAts will eat it up.

[ZoWie]

That's a standard tactic for Trump, and it has failed in the past. He can fool some of the people all of the time, but that doesn't make a majority.

the corruption has no limits and will wreak unlivable havoc.

Taxi Driver
Dive headfirst into the fever dream that is this iconic character study, where every frame pulsates with grimy neon lights and seedy urban decay. Following a lonely taxi driver plagued by his warped sense of morality, we witness firsthand the devastating effects of alienation, insomnia, and obsession on the fragile human mind. It's a disturbing yet utterly fascinating journey into madness like no other.

Ocasio-Cortez urges caution to media ahead of Trump’s Thursday speech about elections

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) urged caution to the media over President Trump’s upcoming speech about election integrity.

“I don’t think that we should be contributing to any platforming of lies about our election,” Ocasio-Cortez told journalist Pablo Manríquez in a clip posted to the social platform X Tuesday afternoon. “Many news outlets oftentimes may receive transcripts, and I think that we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our election that are not rooted in evidence and fact.”

Democrats call ‘bulls—‘ on Trump’s election interference claims

Democrats raised alarm after President Trump revived his unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election during a Thursday evening address.

“You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bulls—,” Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, said in a statement shared on social media ahead of the president’s speech.

Many TV networks didn't carry the speech. Most of the few that did cut away from it in the middle when it turned out to be a campaign address by any other name. I was amazed that even these whores have apparently started to grow a pair.

Trump’s Election-Interference Plan Is Failing

Last night, President Trump delivered a rare prime-time speech, but his address fell well short of the hype. Purportedly, the president was going to make a major statement about election integrity, but in reality, the speech was dense and hoarsely delivered. As my colleagues report, he provided no evidence to back up his long-standing lie that the 2020 election was stolen. The White House also released four tranches of documents meant to support the speech, but Trump’s claims were a farrago of recycled information, misrepresentations of evidence, and tendentious claims based on materials too heavily redacted to parse. Major news networks, apparently concerned that Trump would mislead, declined to air the address live.

So why even deliver it? The speech was a sign of desperation. Trump spoke now not only to distract from his sputtering Iran war and its effects on the economy, but also because his attempts to concretely interfere with the 2026 election thus far have almost all failed. As his opportunities to change the rules of the game before November slip away from him, the president is falling back on one of the few tools he has left: attempting to sow chaos and doubt among Americans.

Trump was booed and ridiculed at the World Cup final. You didn't hear it on TV because the engineers were careful to lower the gain on the field mikes when he was visible on the video screens. There are various live recordings from the venue made by other crews and perhaps people with sideline access credentials whipping out their phones. The boos are very audible in these. Also at the end, the players pretty much made sure that they weren't in the same shot as he was. One player actually noticed that he might be on-camera and he promptly moved away. There are recordings making the net rounds that show all of this.

Prosecutor Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes and Claims of Torture Was Murdered in Ecuador

QUITO, Ecuador—Alexandra Bravo, the prosecutor assigned to investigate U.S. strikes on three Ecuadorian boats and the 36 survivors’ subsequent accounts of torture and kidnapping, was shot dead in the coastal city of Manta last month. According to police, on June 14 a hitman aboard a black motorcycle opened fire on Bravo as she and her sister were leaving a café at about 11 a.m. Bravo’s sister, who jumped to protect her, was also killed in the attack.

Upon arriving at the crime scene, officers say they found five 9mm shell casings and Bravo’s injured driver, but no sign of the police detail that had been assigned to protect her. The Police Directorate, which operates entirely under the executive branch, has launched a probe to determine if there’d been an internal security breach.
