Governors can't appoint replacement representatives, only replacement senators. Reps must go to a special election.

Yahoo/Reuters posted:WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The United States will no longer treat Russia as a market economy country, the Commerce Department said on Thursday, revoking the status granted two decades ago that limited the calculation of anti-dumping duties on Russian goods. Bolding mine. I also have no idea what this means at a functional level - maybe make it easier for other countries and supra-governmental bodies to pursue sanctions, or revoke economic charters/treaties? Maybe make it more difficult for Russia to reenter the global economy when the war is over?

Between the failure of Republicans to capitalize on a midterm election and Elon doing his best to end Twitter faster than any of us imagined, there’s been a lot of schadenfreude material this week. The Trump/DeSantis feud is just the icing on top. https://twitter.com/meridithmcgraw/status/1590842285146644483?s=46&t=T4efqtKoUChI-rT0iuC5Iw

Crows Turn Off posted:Is there anything DeSantis can do to make his life harder in Mar-a-Lago? Probably but he's also definitely calculating that he shouldn't bother. One of the big draws to him over Trump for Republicans currently is that he only goes after and fucks over Democrats, the libs and leftists, he never attacks other Republicans. Pulling himself into the mud with Trump just gives Trump the advantage, especially right now when the narrative coalescing is that Trump is a deranged loser that's dragging the party down while he's the 'adult in the room' and path for the future.

The WSJ says scams have flourished in the last 24 hours and over 18,000 accounts have been compromised by fake Twitter customer support accounts. There are scams pretending to be Trump asking for donations, scams pretending to be Twitter asking for crypto donations, scams asking for passwords from Twitter customer service, and scams linking to trojans from Barack Obama verified accounts. Tons of other companies are getting spoofed and involved in scams because the scammers spent $8 to verify the fake account. https://twitter.com/themattprov/status/1590476929294946304 https://twitter.com/b_fung/status/1590520151870476289 https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1590403088598601728 Very good job!

Advertisers won't even be the half of it. Nintendo would be fully justified in closing their official accounts and posting a notice to the effect of "We are not on Twitter. Anyone you see claiming to be Nintendo on Twitter is lying" on all the other socials. If enough brands and notables do that, Twitter holds no value for anyone

The FTC is now investigating Twitter after they fired their entire compliance department and whether the flourishing of scams and lack of protections qualifies as negligent violations of security and privacy. Just astonishing how quickly Elon hosed this entire thing up and he is still trying to run everything all by himself with no outside advisers or consultants. https://twitter.com/Cat_Zakrzewski/status/1590749773619171328 https://twitter.com/Cat_Zakrzewski/status/1590751715053416448 The EU is now investigation them too because E.U. data laws require companies of a certain size to have a Chief Data protection Officer and Musk just eliminated the position. https://twitter.com/Cat_Zakrzewski/status/1590827737329303552

What do we think Alex Jones actual net worth is between all weird rich person assets and shell entities? I’m pretty cynical so I bet it was $50 mil at its peak but probably 20M now with the crypto/NFT slump. That’s before factoring in ex wives and drugs as expenses tho, so who knows. Be nice if he actually loses that wealth to the plaintiffs but I assume he’ll always live the lifestyle of a successful grifter.

Lol if it turns out Elon Musk bought Twitter just in time to help Trump use it to get re-elected, and then he just destroys it instead. Of course it's really looking like a failure on both fronts at this point -- not sure which will go up in flames first.
