Kevin Hassett: "The affordability crisis is a myth"

Today in “if in 2015 someone told you this happened you would absolutely not believe it”

I don’t think the young people (ie if you’re under 25 you don’t really remember Obama) realize just how electric a speaker he is

What the actual fuck…

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

Hello #BookSky I know we've been on you about shopping early this holiday season (really every holiday season) but it might get lost in all the logistics and such the fact that the next 3ish weeks are the best time of the year for book shopping. Here's why...

Not The Onion

Nearly 6 in 10 Americans think President Donald Trump has dictatorial ambitions and could destroy U.S. democracy, a new poll has found. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

omg The Chicks just brought out James Talarico on stage 👀

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

This morning, multiple black pick-up trucks with dark tinted windows, no front license plates, were parked with a few vans on the patio of former Hard Rock Cafe, across from City Hall. Just spitballing… Is Dock Square Garage (to the rear of HRC) being prepped for ICE parking?

Republicans giddily allowed President Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban to expire in 2004. After which, mass shootings exploded. This is America.

It’s a hilarious thing to focus This much national attention on when you can just glance at her Pizzagate style posts

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

"The bulk of the increase stemmed directly from energy prices, which have shot higher this year because of the war with Iran". www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

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

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

We are watching in slow motion the things that happen before ethnic cleansing happens. People get that, right?

Senate Banking just launched the Trumpflation Tracker. The affordability crisis is not a “hoax” like Donald Trump says. See for yourself how much more you’re paying because of Trump’s failed economic agenda

This… so much this.

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

How is this not the lead story everywhere??

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

File this one under: Pretty Bad Ass. Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Nathaniel Rateliff, Tom Morello & company at Power on the People last night, ripping “Fortunate Son.”

Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: https://bit.ly/4yvixbB.

A great read! If you're a fan of #TheWestWing, you'll love "What's Next" by my dear friends Melissa FitzGerald & Mary McCormack. All things West Wing! Have you read it yet? #TheMartinSheenPodcast 💙

This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

Community Notes for the win here, Megyn Kelly. 👌

Voter registration deadlines are SUNDAY in Alaska, Rhode Island, South Carolina. And MONDAY in: Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and *Texas*. If you live in these states, verify your registration now, literally.

Yeah, so what happens with our only job growth when a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts begin to kick in?

Red Sox in the 2000s 14 years with Ortiz as primary DH 45 playoff wins, 3.2 per season 5 years with Martinez as primary DH 17 playoff wins, 3.4 per season 8 years with neither of the two as primary DH 2 playoff wins, 0.25 per season

This game is over. O-V-A

The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

A run! A run!

Throwing Ben Rice out at home is the highlight of the whole series so far…

👀 🔥

It’s especially galling to be beat by a kid who somehow grew up in Cohasset as a Yankee fan (I mean where were his parents?)

ugh…
