I think quite a few of us will be unable to contain our joy if Cruz and Hawley actually _do_ face consequences–beyond just a couple of days of avoiding hometown newspapers–for their attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters. ---

Trump still can discover a cohesive theoretical model and mathematical framework that reconciles gravity with quantum mechanics, and win himself a Nobel Prize in physics. ---

And in gof news - The US PGA has withdrawn the 2022 PGA from DumpsterFire’s course in New Jersey. [2022 PGA Championship leaving Trump National](https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/30689392/2022-pga-championship-leaving-trump-national) And the R&A (Royal and Ancient) has in a lovely turn of the phrase removed DumpsterFire’s Turnberry course from hosting any championships “for the foreseeable future.” > **[Trump Turnberry out of Open rotation for now](https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/30692122/trump-turnberry-host-open-foreseeable-future-ra-announces)** > > The R&A announced Monday that Trump Turnberry will not be granted an Open "for the foreseeable future.'' Turnberry had been part of a 10-course rotation for The Open, but it hasn't hosted the tournament since 2009. ---

And according to [this tweet from a NY Times writer](https://mobile.twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1348724630626951169) this has infuriated him more than anything heretofore. Her source used the word “gutted”. ---
