Any guesses on a Friday afternoon news dump?

Maybe a recent poll showing how poorly the Republicans will likely do in November? McConnell's remarks yesterday hint at that.
Any other ideas?

2. I didn't think that Democrats did any news dump on Fridays as the republican admin. did

during trump's term. But I wouldn't mind more debilitating news on tRUMP and all things tRUMP either. The more the better, I say.

And it is about time.

3. A lot of stuff goes down on Friday afternoons.

In my case, it was computer systems ... they'd suffer the most maniacal maladies just as I was headed out the door. (Spare you the details)

But it's also news. There seems to be less coverage late Fridays and weekends, and time for people to forget (that's the goal) by the Monday news cycle. I *did* notice many bombshell kinds of things hitting on the near-weekend and weekends.

I stopped watching TV long ago, so my "news cycle" is basically DU. It's probably the best news aggregator for non-tech stuff around (I use Hacker News for tech stuff. Dang, about 200 new posts to (mostly) ignore every day.) (https://news.ycombinator.com)

With so many potential inputs, *I* get to decide what's worth pursuing, and I don't pay attention to the Debbie Downers except to "minister" to them.

4. I'll give it a shot

Trump found hiding in a bunker under a sand trap bunker at his Golf Course/ Cemetery.
