I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Many people say we got off track when President Carter was kicked to the curb and Reagan was coronated. I think it was when Ford pardoned Nixon.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

He's in great position to become the youngest-ever WDC in Mexico City next weekend. 🫡

As a Canadian, James Hinchcliff should know that was the U.S. national anthem. #F1 #Formula1 #USGP #COTA #Austin #CircuitOfTheAmericas

"JD Vance appears to endorse Democratic candidates, 19 October 2026."

From Salida, where our top HS fellow Chloe organized a rally, to Cañon City, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, we engaged voters and built energy to turn out the vote. The energy at the rally for Jessica Killin was electric. El Paso County is ready to make history!

Iconic pic taken by David Phipps at Fuji #OnThisDay 50 years ago: James Hunt had finished 3rd, thereby scoring points enough to win the #F1 world championship but, after a late pit stop, he didn’t know it. McLaren boss Teddy Mayer resorted to sign language to get the message across!

Jessica Killin would have my vote if I lived in Colorado CD-5! @killinforco.bsky.social

43 years ago today, Sunday, 23 October 1983, the Beirut barracks bombings occurred. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel, six civilians and both the attackers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Be...

There's no doubt in my formerly-military mind.

And, like the person who breaks something they borrowed from you, they're probably blaming Ike.

Trump’s personal Attorney General Todd Blanche doesn’t rule out challenging election certifications in various states (You are not alarmed enough)

My question isn't why are European youth protesting, it's why US youth AREN'T.

This can’t be said often enough:

At NAS Pensacola 48 years ago today, I became Ensign Baker, United States Navy, and transitioned from an Aviation Officer Candidate (AOC) to a Student Naval Aviator (SNA).

The beginning of the classic Benetton era.

New in PN: The weird rise and spectacular fall of Katie Zacharia "Zacharia is not a victim. She is a lying conspiracy theorist who desperately maneuvered herself to attract the attention of an image-obsessed fascist in hopes that she could gain money and fame by lying on his behalf."

“You are a Christian candidate. Why haven’t I heard you disavow Timothy McVeigh and the Ku Klux Kan? Seems sorta suspicious.”

I've been telling people for years this sort of thing was coming. The Trump administration is trying to build data centers on public lands. westwise.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Reading Kim Ghattas's excellent The Best KInd of American, one is struck by the contrast of MSM's tone of the Reagan admin's mismanagement of the Middle East, esp. Lebanon and Beirut, at the time w/ their kid glove treatment of trump today.

Fair Q

Can we please DENATURALIZE and DEPORT Elon Musk’s rotten ass back to Johannesburg before he and Trump destroy our beloved country?

I don't know how CBS News can claim it's a nonpartisan news outlet when a prominent CBS correspondent like Jan Crawford goes after Abdul El-Sayed in such a ridiculous manner. Of course, Crawford attended the CBS owners' dinner in honor of Trump, so her MAGA leanings were already well established.

The @nytimes.com proves Mark Jacob's point: www.nytimes.com/video/inside...

They've been telling working people this forever. Remember those "world of tomorrow" exhibits, articles, and featurettes we were fed during the 60s?

As some football referees say after a targeting ejection, "That player has disqualified [her]self from further participation."

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

crazy moment in Minnesota as AG Keith Ellison torches Republican Ron Schutz for accepting donations from fraudsters — and Schutz admits it
