The State of the Republic is Grim - Lawyers, Guns & Money If youโ€™re on Bluesky and follow me, youโ€™ve probably seen that Iโ€™m writing threads that really should be the basis for posts at LGM. Youโ€™ve also likely gotten a bead on where I am these days. Hereโ€™s a ...

โ€œThe Republic as we knew it is over. The fight now is whether the new one will be a fascistic, competitive authoritarian regime or a pluralist democracy that, we can hope, is better than what came before.โ€

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as โ€œState Terrorismโ€: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

I really really hoped it was going to be a great season opener. The opening skit was fairly good. The rest of it, including weekend update, which is usually the highlight, was pretty weak. I hope they can improve over the season. I'll never stop watching, just hoping it gets better.

โ€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.โ€

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause

By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

I'm with you. There's a local place that makes its own ice cream. Time to help a local dairy farmer.

I just called (I called last night but there was no one answering the phone at that time) and they said that they're still looking into it, but that it may have been weather related?

It did rain last night, but I wouldn't even use the word storm to describe it, just a light rain.

MPT, Maryland Public Television.

I thought maybe it was delayed, but it never aired yesterday. Just an extra Antiques Roadshow in place of you and Geoff.

Why is MPT (Maryland) showing Antiques Roadshow instead of the news? I like AR, but I'm pretty worried about Newshour...

Trying to figure it out. I've tried a few more links, and did notice that NYT ends in html and WaPo doesn't, but I can't get the same issue even using the non-html-ending links from WaPo.

Next time it happens, could you send me a copy of the link that doesn't work for you?

Hey JT, just saw this. I didn't realize that WaPo links were having issues. I just went and tried one and it seems to work. (archive.ph/dcom1)

If there's anything I can do to help, or you get one that doesn't work, could you let me know? I'd like to see if there's any work-arounds I could try.
