HELL Kennedy

Best reason to go off the record.

A week to the midterms and the Republican president is in Mississippi. Which he won by 23 points. Yikes baby.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

NEW: Appeals court rejects DOJ’s request for quick action in California voting case. On a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal now. Instead, a previously set TRO hearing at the district court should proceed on Tuesday. Tonight, at Law Dork:

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

I really thought he was lying. Looks like he wasn't. I apologize.

Pix of the Oval going back to Ike. Surprised that I like Poppy Bush's taste best. (Also the Cheesecake Factory photo being used here is before even more gold crap was added.) www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Breaking news: The Justice Department has again charged James B. Comey, the third time the Trump administration has mounted a criminal case against the former FBI director — a prominent political foe of the president — since last year.

Finally they got something on the mayor. Secret pickup basketball. Oh dear. Oh no. (The only legitimate complaint I can see is that it disrupts other NYPD operations, but then my question is why are they training recruits after 10 pm - and are they actually training recruits after 10 pm?)

that food you can’t afford? you don’t need it anyway, fatty. and the gas you can’t afford? walk that fat ass to work! wait why aren’t you voting for us

I mean, it DID look rigged. Heavily. In Bolsonaro’s favor. He lost anyway.

I know we are all inured, but this is an appalling and unacceptable thing for a US president to say about another country's election.

this is a pretty good explainer of what is yet another consequential foreign election

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

"Table stakes"? WTF McConnell ghostwriter?

This is more indicative than 100 polls.

All the places we expected them to spend the last week of this campaign at the start of this year.

Daaaaaamn

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

I honestly feared they would be better at manipulating gas prices before the election.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
