There are 3 seats in the House that could potentially flip in special elections from R to D so that the D's are a majority there.

The vacant seats:
Matt Gaetz, Florida's 1st congressional district
Michael Waltz, Florida's 6th congressional district
Elise Stefanik... if she resigns to be ambassasdor to the UN. NY's 21st congressional district.

If this happens, the House of Representatives will have a slight majority of Dems in 2 months.

How likely are those potentials? How hard are the democrats working on those elections?

I don't know. I post it in hopes the dems in those districts will learn of it and take part in the special elections.
 
Feel like trying to bring back a term I learned from a comic book: BOHICA

meaning:
Bend Over, Here It Comes Again
 
This dates back to January, so it is very old news. Does Trump even care about TikTok now?

President Trump said:
I like bidding wars because you make the best deal. So if we have a bidding war, that’s a good thing. But we have a lot of interest in it.

With regards to TikTok purchase.

At what point does any red hat wearing person start noticing problems. "I like bidding wars because you the best deal." But he is the one bidding... so if there is a bidding war, he'd be needing to bid higher. The only winning in a bidding war is the person who owns whatever is being bid on... not the bidders. His statement sounds like early onset dementia as he is not really there and he is desperately grabbing on familiar speak to finish off a thought, regardless how ridiculous it sounds.

So much of his talking is like this.
 
Bondi immediately issues new order that will make it easier for Trump and his Billionaire enablers to act corruptly.

Bondi is limiting criminal enforcement of a foreign agents registration law that’s been used to investigate or prosecute Trump donors and allies and disbanding a foreign election interference task force that’s identified foreign meddling in US elections, including in Trump’s favor.

...

The Foreign Agents Registration Act is a decades-old law that has ensnared Trump associates in recent years, from Paul Manafort, Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman, and Gen. Mike Flynn, the first national security adviser in Trump’s first term, to Russian operatives who allegedly funded pro-Trump media figures during the recent presidential election.


The Foreign Influence Task Force is an outgrowth of the response by the FBI and US intelligence agencies to 2016 election interference by Russia, which worked to boost Trump’s first election victory.

...

The new changes, combined with a separate memo last week from Emil Bove, the acting deputy attorney general, directing the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus more on immigration matters, has raised concerns that foreign adversaries and terrorist groups could take advantage of the Justice Department’s reduced attention on national security efforts, according to current and former US officials.


“It makes us less safe and makes us more likely to have an international terrorism incident or a major nation-state sabotage attack,” one former senior national security official told CNN.

Trump says he's firing Kennedy Center board of trustees members and naming himself chairman

President Donald Trump says he's firing members of the board of trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and naming himself chairman.

To quote our leader and benefactor of the arts, Donald J. Trump, MFA (and what could that stand for, besides Master of Fine Arts? Unless...)
"At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP."
Last time I read anything like that, it was in Albert Speer's memoirs.
I guess it will be must-see TV when Roseanne gets her KC honors. (I don't know my Trump if Lee Greenwood doesn't get honored -- I'd bet a Second Inaugural Trump Bible on it.)
He should at least rename it the Kennedy Federal Center, so he can tell everyone he's head of KFC.

I disagree. It has more subjects than ever, is borderless, and goes by a new name. The Roman Catholic Church.

Free market capitalism. Competition will bring the cost of prisons down. Isn't that a good thing? /s

Zero chance. Musk and Zuckerberg control the relevant media and feed the propaganda straight to everyone’s phones.

Exactly. I’d be gobsmacked if the fascists lost one seat.
By a couple months down the road everyone’s taxes will have gone down, their wages will have gone up, the stock market will be soaring, you’ll be much safer, America will be Greater, the border problem will be solved and eggs will be $1.99 a dozen.
All they need to do is say so and keep X and the facebot reaffirming it all ad nauseum; the desire for these things to be true will overwhelm all evidence to the contrary in the minds of the clueless American voters.
Remember - these are people who thought a felonious rapist fraudster would make a better leader than a rotten head of lettuce.
They already previewed their approval of destroying America; they ate it right up when President Mush told them USAID was a liberal crime establishment.

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations

Thousands of press releases about decade-old enforcement actions topped search results, all updated with a timestamp from after Trump’s inauguration
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
News of mass immigration arrests has swept across the US over the past couple of weeks. Reports from Massachusetts to Idaho have described agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) spreading through communities and rounding people up. Quick Google searches for Ice operations, raids and arrests return a deluge of government press releases. Headlines include “ICE arrests 85 during 4-day Colorado operation”, “New Orleans focuses targeted operations on 123 criminal noncitizens” and, in Wisconsin, “ICE arrests 83 criminal aliens”.

But a closer look at these Ice reports tells a different story.


That four-day operation in Colorado? It happened in November 2010. The 123 people targeted in New Orleans? That was February of last year. Wisconsin? September 2018. There are thousands of examples of this throughout all 50 states – Ice press releases that have reached the first page of Google search results, making it seem like enforcement actions just happened, when in actuality they occurred months or years ago. Some, such as the arrest of “44 absconders” in Nebraska, go back as far as 2008.

All the archived Ice press releases soaring to the top of Google search results were marked with the same timestamp and read: “Updated: 01/24/2025”.

The mystery first caught the attention of an immigration lawyer who began tracking Ice raids and enforcement actions when Donald Trump took office. She spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the administration. At first, she was baffled when she clicked on these seemingly new press releases and they detailed Ice raids from more than a decade ago.

So she set to work doing some digital sleuthing and enlisted a friend who is a tech expert to help. What they found leads them to believe that Ice is gaming Google search.

Ice did not return a request for comment. A Google spokesperson said: “When people do these searches on Google, they’ll find a range of sources and information, including recent news articles.” She said Google aimed to “reflect the last time a page was updated” and that its “systems are not designed to boost a page’s ranking simply because they update their timestamp”.

Since the Guardian reached out to Ice and Google for comment, some of the press releases have reverted back to their original dates on Google search. Therefore, those releases are no longer appearing at the top of Google search results.

Looks like someone is doing a little hanky panky at Google.
 
Trump makes a fool of himself again.

Trump stops aid do South Africa and offers refugee status to rich privileged white people in South Africa.

Trump says some white South Africans are oppressed and could be resettled in the US. They say no thanks

Groups representing some of South Africa’s white minority have responded to a plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to offer them refugee status and resettlement in the United States by saying: thanks, but no thanks.
apnews.com apnews.com

On Saturday, two of the most prominent groups representing Afrikaners said they would not be taking up Trump’s offer of resettlement in the U.S.

“Our members work here, and want to stay here, and they are going to stay here,” said Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Afrikaner trade union Solidarity, which says it represents around 2 million people. “We are committed to build a future here. We are not going anywhere.”

At the same press conference, Kallie Kriel, the CEO of the Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum, said: “We have to state categorically: We don’t want to move elsewhere.”

Trump’s move to sanction South Africa, a key U.S. trading partner in Africa, came after he and his South African-born adviser Elon Musk have accused its Black leadership of having an anti-white stance. But the portrayal of Afrikaners as a downtrodden group that needed to be saved would surprise most South Africans.

“It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the U.S. for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged,” South Africa’s Foreign Ministry said. It also criticized the Trump administration’s own policies, saying the focus on Afrikaners came “while vulnerable people in the U.S. from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.”

You know Trump is missing the great Band-Aid wokism. Removing the dark Band-Aids is going to reduce egg prices.
