Good morning, folks!
We don’t know what time the blackout hits (nor what time tomorrow we are back), so here’s a shell APR to use to chat.
Added: looks like 9 am ET we go dark for a day.
Trump Posted a Picture of Himself as Jesus. Now He’s Trying to Explain It Away.
The image showed President Trump bathed in divine light and clad in religious robes. His interpretation was that the image depicted him as a doctor, not Jesus Christ.
As a rule, Mr. Trump does not apologize for doing and saying things that hurt or offend people, and officials in his White House characterize his behavior as radically refreshing and transparent. Outrage from people representing powerful constituencies that helped elect him to a second term has only rarely prompted him to backtrack or retreat.
In February, Mr. Trump deleted a racist video depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, the former first lady, as apes after several members of the Republican Party — including Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the Senate’s only Black Republican — called on him to remove it. Mr. Trump took the post down, blamed a staff member and never apologized.
“I just looked at the first part — it was about voter fraud in some place, Georgia,” Mr. Trump told reporters of that video in February. “I didn’t see the whole thing.”
The backlash has been pretty fierce, even from his supporters. The picture was removed from Truth Social.

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you’re a disappointing bunch.
Let’s go.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the guy just rid us from Orbán.
You know what it takes to win an election against Orbán? It’s not just making a party and campaigning. The rules were massively rigged. Hungary was gerrymandered to oblivion. The regime played dirty.
Added: it’s a Hungarian Rhapsody, after all
