Here’s a treat for Mets fans, and sports fans in general. Most team owners are fascists, as are corporate entertainment network owners you pay for the privilege of being a fan.

The Mets owner’s project with Hard Rock Casino is among the three proposals approved for gaming—with President Donald Trump’s company expected to receive a $115 million windfall from one of the casinos.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

This cop chased two women who had allegedly shoplifted diapers; gun drawn. When the mother lifted up Kohen to show the cop she had a baby in the car, he fired - killing the baby. Shoplifting charges were never filed. Mississippi ruled the shooting “justified”.

Now prosecute him‼️ Resignation is not accountability. #JusticeForKohenWiley

I confronted Elizabeth Holmes before Nathan Fielder did. 😜 In 2019 she was hiding out in SF when we got a tip that led to this wild story. My takeaway after watching #YouCanSeeEverything: Nathan Fielder is a genius. This film will win ALL the awards. There’s a severe lack of Chapstick in prison.

#WolffBites: Investors in French gov't bonds see rising risks of French leaders' refusal to honor their gov't debts. So they demand higher interest rates. Same is happening elsewhere in Europe and in US. Crisis spreads.

Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

‘Coyote vs. Acme’ has officially surpassed ‘Supergirl’ ($126M) worldwide, making it the summer’s highest-grossing film produced by Warner Bros. But it’s distributor Ketchup Entertainment benefiting from its theatrical release.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Why do they use these platforms in the first place? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Absolutely incredible. Good for @nicolenoren.bsky.social for sharing her family’s painful experience with sports gambling and for having the guts to walk away from ESPN. Bravo!
