Put this under nature of the problem. From an axios piece by Jim Vendehei about the growing multiple risks of cascading crises. You’d say the same about Biden? Not politics? lol

He wasnt perfect. But God how I miss him.

Trump wanted to create an Orban style autocracy & take away everyone’s liberties. But Orban knew u need to be popular when u put that into effect. But in just 20 months Trump failed so hard he’s more unpopular than any midterm Prez in 80 yrs. Chump just doesn’t have the cards. 🤣

It’s one reason why the Finns are voted the happiest people year after year. This ability to slow down, enjoy the little things and basically de-stress thru nature. Finland’s Puppy Livestream Is an Internet Hit www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

We need soooo many more Charles Blow.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

They need to find somebody who knows what a declaration is.

“Whether mainstream Democrats sincerely wish to expand the welfare state or not, a welfare state expansion that satisfies progressives will not happen without a post-Trump reconstruction. It has to happen first, regardless.” @brianbeutler.bsky.social

We’ve jumped the shark in qualified immunity. Shoplifting diapers. Lifts g her baby was “perceived” as a gun. And her car was moving so of course she was trying to run over the officer while lifting a year old. Change has gottta come.

The great business man.

The President is a self dealing sociopathic lying traitor.

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

I'm not sure I'd have Abdul cook my hamburger. Because he burned this guy pretty bad.

Always forget Sammy Vanska. The first.

We women generally only get paid 50-75% of men. Seems logical the lifespan of failure should be comparable.

The Iran War has drained America’s strategic petroleum reserve to its lowest level since 1982.

ALERT: Trump DOJ Begins Active Election Interference in California talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

I've said for a long time that the economics profession owes Trump big time. You've never had a real world test of "what if a President does everything he can to raise inflation?" a generation of PhD dissertations will be written on this.

Cue “it’s Biden’s fault”.

About fucking time.

Josh like me is a NYer. This is exactly Trump. If he’s not at least getting the big it’s not allowed.

Ken Paxton is a scumbag and a criminal. Which is why Trump endorsed him.

With three weeks until Election Day, those who evaluate the electoral landscape — race raters and prognosticators — are bringing their analyses of various contests in line with the ongoing wave of rosy polls for Democratic candidates.

It’s less bending the knee. It’s more a wink and a nod. It’s less servile. It’s more complicit.

Elon Musk’s PAC is running anti-lgbtq+ midterm ads on X. Not surprising but incredibly unsubtle

Ok.

I’ve started a new series called Only Passing Through about cities Bob Dylan has played just once. I started with Las Cruces, NM, and now I’ve done Córdoba, Argentina. Fernet con coca, cuarteto, Evita, and lots of local drama surrounding this show. Dy-lan, Dy-lan!

Important read. Govs and Secs of State are critical to win. Election power abd election integrity is local.

America heal thyself.

Their usual MO. And their usual false defense of “in danger”.

Warsh seems to be looking for a bigger degree of separation from Donald.

Power buids on itself and so does collapse.

Pretty apparent today the the administration’s closing strategy for this election is just to crank the white nationalism dial up to 11.
