I am 56. I wander the Earth. I now call Portland, OR, my home. There is so much to explore in life. To the mountains, prairies, and high desert. Across the seas and into the depth of the oceans. Outward to the stars. Full of life and peoples.

I am not a lawyer or legal expert, but even I know the DoJ has no standing to sue to stop certification prior to the election.
The Trump administration is preemptively suing to block Alaska from certifying a Mary Peltola victory, should she win. Their argument is that the double Dan Sullivan thing is confusing voters. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Astronomy news for spooky season: a zombie planet orbiting a dead (but still hostile) star. Evidence suggests the following: Star dies, expels outer layers, becomes white dwarf. Gas giant forms from the debris. White dwarf is now blasting planet with radiation, shearing off some of its atmosphere.

Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, admits errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, NOT VANDALISM, caused the pool’s blue liner to peel and break loose. Atlantic is being paid $14.7 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

More than that, it offers all Americans economic freedom. Medicare for All offers healthcare providers a single source for payments that reduces collection costs to just mere fraction of pennies on the dollar. Under the current system, Americans repeatedly denied critical healthcare..
El-Sayed: "To me Medicare for All is not about what it takes away, it's about what it offers: Guaranteed health insurance from cradle to grave."

NEW: After ProPublica and @texastribune.org revealed Ken Paxton repeatedly voted while registered at an address where he appears to no longer live, Democrats called for an investigation into whether the Texas attorney general committed election fraud.

I wonder how many people grasped that Trump was threatening to nuke Iran if they attempted to assassinate him? How else would 1000 missiles destroy all of Iran?
This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.
For the billionaires…
It is genuinely heartbreaking to see all of the people losing SNAP benefits. In West Virginia, 14,000 SNAP participants have lost their benefits. In Arizona, it’s 500,000. That’s not a typo. Half a million people in AZ no longer have nutrition assistance. Republicans strike again.
I put $10 down on Kalshi that Trump will veto the bill tonight despite what the media and White House are reporting. It’s Friday and Trump has a penchant be a complete shithead. This would be a classic asshole stunt for him. I hope I am wrong, but I am willing to put up money.
Donald Trump cares so little about bringing down YOUR housing costs that he’s refusing to sign the biggest housing bill in 30 years. The good news: it’s going to become law anyway.

Dan Moraff and Leanne Fan should never be allowed to work as political consultants ever again. They had one job. Oppo research and vetting are critical to running a successful campaign. Instead they may have destroyed a critical race to help retake the Senate. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...
I am having to quote. But the primary point I was making to Josh and Matt Y is that they were punching left trying to make the “far left” and “DSA” the bogeyman that is hurting the Democrats during the midterm elections. The whole “adjacent” was just odd phrasing.
do with subconsciously accepting an argument like you say. Basically you are just as likely to laugh over "holy crap this guy is insane and makes me uncomfortable" as "wow they make a point I don't like"
