Stunned to learn that the ACLU of Illinois, the Illinois branch of the National Organization for Women and Planned Parenthood Illinois Action defend this.... "In some other states and at the national level, those organizations have been either neutral or helpful in banning child marriage."

Thirty-two US states still allow child marriage. Two states have no minimum age limit, and kids as young as 10 are married in the US. Astonishingly, some progressive groups defend child marriage as "child rights." This is nuts. My @nytopinion.nytimes.com column: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/o...

Ms. Rachael racking up the wins lately. Not shocking that it takes a pre-school teacher to explain this to stupid, illogical, entitled American adults. 😮‍💨

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Tomorrow, House Republicans vote to lock the Supreme Court at nine justices forever, protecting a GOP-appointed majority for decades. Congress changed the Court’s size before. They want to make sure we never can again. Read. Share. Send a free letter to your reps: open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Especially among chefs who have the stereotype of being wild macho men. The deep connections between Carmy and Richie, Luca and Marcus, among all the men in this show was a lovely display of what masculinity can be. And what the antidote to male loneliness can be.

am I really not allowed to post? "“BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”"

Anyone else getting this after a required update? They're asking for a credit card/ID/selfie or an email (so they can check online data to try to get at your age) for you to "verify your age." Sure, happy to hand that over! What the hell is this?

We need your help. The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders.

We posted about this a few days ago. The EPA is trying to roll back protections against ethylene oxide, a chemical that causes leukemia and breast cancer, in communities that are already overburdened with pollution. The public comment period is open right now.

“President Trump,” he said. Trump nodded. There was no sign of a smile, as if there could not have been any other answer to that question. “Write that,” he said, turning to me.

But I’m not a doctor, nor do I spend a lot of time with Trump. Now I was in a room with actual doctors who actually treat the president and know him. Perhaps more than anyone else in this country, they would be in a position to know — yet their proximity to him could be part of the problem.

“You worked for the Obamas, didn’t you?” Leavitt said to Jones. “Yes, I did,” he said. Jones had, in fact, worked from 2009 to 2018 as a senior medical leader in the White House. At the end of his presidency, Barack Obama, a
