LOL. The boos from the crowd 😂

Trump: "It's so dumb. You take the E out, you replace it with a U. And most people don't know that 'dumb' has a B, so we throw that out too."

This should be front page news everywhere. It won’t be, but it should be.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Zelensky is asked if Trump is scapegoating him because the USA is in such deep shit back home due to the disastrous Iran War. Watch Ze's response.

Republican voters say they will vote for Democrats because of data centers: "My entire community is going to break rank. We've had enough."

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

The military wants you to commit to it but it won't commit to you. That's how the idea of voluntary service dies and nations turn to forced conscription when they need cannon fodder.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Trump: I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap

Elon Musk's SpaceX has fallen months behind on a roughly $70,000 restaurant tab, leaving the owner struggling to pay staff and bills, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

We've all heard the right wing claim about the *liberal media* but the truth is that right coded zillionaires own most of the media we consume. Just look at this list of what the Ellison's now own. It's astounding & very concerning. (h/t @thedesk.net)

🚨 DEADLINES INCOMING: Today is the last day to register to vote in Oklahoma, and the deadlines for Delaware, Louisiana, New Jersey and Oregon are coming up next. Make sure everyone you know is registered to vote!

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

This actual *reporting* was utterly buried in the Time article that accompanied their feeble and shameful Trump interview: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo... This is terrifying, even by Trump standards!

IF democrats do well surely we're going to get weeks and weeks of coverage about how In This Diner they voted for the Democrats, right? LOLOL (they didnt do this for obama or biden's three wins and they wont start now, the msm is the enemy)

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Bristol becomes first UK city to ban fast-fashion adverts

On Sept. 10, 2026, Trump led his followers in a public pledge to "cheat like hell" in the midterms. The New York Times didn't put that fact in a headline, instead sticking it in the 3rd paragraph of a story on Page 22 of its print edition.

Mississippi police have arrested a man in the death of Tasia Fortune, a Black woman found hanging from a tree last month.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I want to highlight a memorial not far from my home. 4 days after 9/11, a racist shot and killed Balbir Singh Sodhi, a husband, father of five, and beloved member of his local Sikh community. His murder was the first hate crime in response to the attacks.

The title really says it all.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Last night, Florida voted for Medicare for all, for universal childcare, for homes we can actually afford, and above all, a future where working families go beyond barely making it by and truly thrive. Thank you.
