So, here's what I think we're going to see over the next two weeks.
1. The House of Representatives flips to the Democrats. The only question is how big their majority will be. Smart people (the ones MAGA calls "libtards") and their fancy liberal mathematical models are talking about a net gain of 20–50 seats.
2. The Senate is up in the air. I won't make a prediction. But The Economist, whose forecasting models have been remarkably accurate over the last six elections, says Democrats have a "good chance" of taking the Senate.
3. Once that orange piece of shit loses Congress, he'll desperately need someone to blame for the disaster. Usually, the asshole blames women for everything, but he's already run out of women in his administration. So my money is on Hegseth getting thrown under the bus. After all, he's the guy who couldn't defeat Iran, right?
4. Musk, brace yourself. You're going to get absolutely fucked over the Starlink shutdown. The United States has an absolute monopoly on its own foreign policy. No drug-addled billionaire gets to hijack that authority while tripping balls.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of vibraphonist, singer and composer Roy Ayers.
Described as the Godfather of Neo Soul, Ayers helped pioneer jazz-funk and was a key figure in the acid jazz movement. As a solo artist, he released dozens of albums over the years, dating as far back as 1963, and scored his biggest hit “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” with his group Roy Ayers Ubiquity.
When asked about his genre-hopping approach to music, Ayres said: “I don’t think I’m really so unique. What we call ‘soul’ has been around a long time. It comes out of a particular culture that is African in origin, but influenced by 250 years of slavery, as well as other forms of racial oppression.”
Ayers’ songs have been sampled by everyone from Mary J. Blige and Common to Tyler, the Creator and he collaborated with musicians including the Roots, Guru, Fela Kuti and Rick James.
His last solo album “Mahogany Vibe,” came out in 2004, and featured guest appearances from Betty Wright, Kamilah and Erykah Badu. In 2015, he made a guest appearance on Tyler, the Creator’s track “Find Your Wings” and two years later performed at the rapper’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. He teamed with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad for “Roy Ayers JID002,” a collaborative album released through Jazz Is Dead in 2020.
