Got a letter from the President saying I'm getting an extra $90 from Social Security to offset my Medicare payments. Sending it all to Texas.

Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

A hell of a story.

Throughout the summer, rumors have been bubbling in North New Jersey that ICE has quietly been using a warehouse as a detention center. NPR investigated. n.pr/4hzvA5M

Nats' (not in the cellar) fan playoff hopes: The Phils, the Yanks and Dodgers all lose. The Guardians and White Sox give their fans the time of their lives. If my favorite Braves fans don't win the NL, give me the Cubs and the Sox in AL.

Only in America do they deny children free lunch while forcing them to read about Jesus feeding the hungry.

On September 9 or 10, someone staged this protest at the Dallas Fort Worth airport ahead of the GOP midterm convention. Does anyone know which organization was behind it? We would love to speak with them. Please share widely!

We are super small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. But the number of times a larger publication has linked to SAM.gov or a report through our newsletter (psst, we can tell because you don't delete the UTM code) without crediting our reporting is way too high.

I’m sorry, what? This piece was not a joint publication/ reporting job (as some are). It was @propublica’s alone and the Times followed with a summary. This is so indicative of NYT. If they don’t ignore proper credit, they just go for stolen valor.

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

ICE just signed $7.3 billion in contracts to build detention space on land it owns, after its warehouse plan stalled. A $1.2 billion contract for a California site ICE left in 2014 went to a company tied to a developer facing more than a dozen lawsuits.

For decades, music floated across the Potomac from a barge beneath the Watergate steps. When the concerts ended, their spirit endured nearby in the Kennedy Center, where Washington built a permanent home for the arts beside the river that first carried the sound.
