I was gearing up to post a response to the (many, ugh) critics of my TIME feature on RevTech (it’s been … a rough couple of weeks) when I got a text from a friend in the White House press pool.

It’s official: President Ashleigh Grantham, Jr. will be America’s second shortest-serving president, as he intends to “restore” the presidency to Rudy Ruiz “with all legal haste and urgency.” Grantham will of course retain the honor of being America’s oldest-ever commander-in-chief. He turns 95 on January 10.

The Hill had the scoop a few minutes before 11am ET today, publishing a piece just as the Grantham Administration announced it would be issuing a “special message” live from the Oval Office at 3pm ET. It’s all but certain that the contents of that “special message” will be that Grantham’s DOJ intends to drop the administration’s challenge to Rudy Ruiz’s 25th Amendment claim to the presidency. Grantham is expected to move back into his former position as veep.

Ruiz posted a very short, text-only update on PatriotWire shortly after The Hill piece ran, saying he’ll be issuing a public statement “from my heart, in America’s heartland,” this evening.
