I'm certainly not giving 47 credit for making anything happen here. I'm just saying Coke sent him wiggly language, and 47 is trying to take credit for something that few people even asked for.

My "even the worst presidents get one" list already had one thing on it from the previous term, but damned if I can remember what it is anymore. Call it an unfortunate (for him) side effect of everything he does being a distraction from everything else.
As a backup, we've still got the penny thing and I probably won't forget that.
you'd think by now governors would stop believing Donalds' promises, particularly when that governor was targeted for assassination by his supporters.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

Pete Buttigieg weighs in on ‘fairness’ of transgender kids playing girls’ sports
He said he rejected blanket policies about trans participation in sports.
www.advocate.com
Yea, he essentially said that the government really shouldn't be creating blanket bans on trans people in sports. While I don't really think trans women have an inate advantage over cis women in sports, assuming their hormone levels are in-line with each other, I can see where some would be concerned and Buttigieg is simply saying let the sport organizations make the determination of their rules, not the US or state governments. I'd rather there be SOME government protections in place to prevent discrimination, but we can move to that fight once they stop trying to outlaw my very existence. Heck the whole blow up over the trans in sports thing is because they needed SOMETHING to villainize us for when everything else they tried didn't stick. The only things that were really working at all on the public-at-large was the sports angle and gender care for minors thing.
You know Paladin doesn't respond to things. He won't even come back to defend himself. He'll wait a week, then come back to post a new article.
He's functionally a bot.
At this point he makes me miss Fortress Ironhold. At least FI occasionally talked to us.
Couldn't we have him permabanned on those grounds?

1. Chris Cuomo has posted a blatantly fake video of @aoc.bsky.social It’s so fake that it’s clearly labeled as parody AI at the top. Video on in next post.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social)
Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.
