Letter to the rest of the world from an American,

Boycott us. Don't visit. Don't buy our products. Don't invest in us. Don't watch our movies. Don't use our tech. Don't buy our cars. Shun us.

The only thing MAGA cares about is money.

Is announcing layoffs of 700 workers in the Denver hub. All part of the plan to warehouse mail-in ballots until after the deadline. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BALLOT. DROP IT OFF. EARLY.

You don't build a ballroom on a house you're planning to leave in 3 years.

WaPo - Demolition crews are tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s ballroom despite his pledge that construction wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Whatever this is, it's probably not great. WaPo writes: Pete Hegseth orders rare urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the U.S. military’s generals and admirals to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, sowing confusion and alarm after the Trump administration’s firing of numerous senior leaders this year."

"The highly unusual directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the matter. The directive was issued earlier this week, as a government shutdown looms, and months after Hegseth’s team at the Pentagon announced plans to undertake a sweeping consolidation of top military commands."

"In a statement Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell affirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but he offered no additional details. Parnell, a senior adviser to the defense secretary, voiced no concerns about The Washington Post reporting on the meeting, scheduled for Tuesday in Quantico, Virginia."

In brief LimeWire has bought the notorious Fyre Festival for $230,000 and the team is planning on putting a crypto spin on the brand. Julian Zehetmayr, CEO of LimeWire, told Decrypt there are plans to somehow use the LimeWire token and possibly NFTs for old ticket holders.

A child has died from a measles infection incurred during infancy.

Infants too young to be vaccinated rely on all of us to help protect them through community immunity. Vaccination is not just about protecting yourself—it's about protecting your family, your neighbors, and especially children who are too young to be vaccinated.

It was all just a locker room creepy letter.

Paul Waldman (@paulwaldman .bs) replies "Oh come on" 3h ago. Below is a Washington Post article link titled "No clear answers on whether Trump signed the Epstein birthday book," stating Trump denies it, experts are unsure, and the White House welcomed a forensic analysis, posted 19 minutes ago.

Glad to see it! The blue states are stepping up where the federal government has failed us.

The most dangerous thing is uneducated voters who easily succumb to, and fail to question, any lie their cult leaders tell them. Vaccines save lives. That's not opinion or political. It's fact.

SCOTUS: The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts. That immunity
applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

@w7voa Cool, cool. Cool. So Biden can have trump thrown into prison for eternity as an official act of preserving democracy.
