Man is striving ceaselessly for smaller-than-OJ list of places he will be welcome after his blow up.

I used to work with voice recognition software and it would give you a % confidence level of it's recognition of the speaker's words. Putting this out without being a bit more specific about the word 'believe' is telling on itself. Difference between 'I believe' and 'I would bet my house'.

Masks off 1st thing in the new congress.

Standard safety testing should include a grade on how long it takes a driver to perform a few basic functions: * Change the HVAC controls to certain temp / fan speed * Enter a navigation destination * Turn on a certain radio station etc A mounted screen no less distracting than a phone

No clue why the Fed would hold as persistent above-target inflation proceeds apace and shocks show no sign of abating. Seems to be consensus that they will but I just don't get it. The grant of credibility given by a single 25bp hike seems way over-the-top. #EconSky

"Republicans’ small-dollar donor base has contracted in recent years, leaving the party more dependent on a tiny group of wealthy megadonors." James Talarico "has had roughly the same number of donors on ActBlue this cycle as all Republican candidates and committees combined had on WinRed."

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

good closing message *HASSETT: THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS A MYTH

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

Here is the announcement.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

BREAKING: Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall to access Georgia voter data without authorization, per Axios

This is anti-law, and it should be treated as such.

The 5-year cancer survival rate is up to 70% SIDS deaths have decreased by over 50% 89% decline in tornado deaths All thanks to federal investment in science and OUR tax dollars at work!

The United States has halted funding for finding and destroying chemical weapons. @gregkoblentz.bsky.social explains what’s at risk if the OPCW can’t do their work. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/chem...

High-frequency US inflation data point to a 4% annualized rate of increase (0.34% m/m) Augur Infinity

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Older I get the more I appreciate _functional_ players. Sure I love the beautiful strokes and dynamics of super talents but the odd prep/strokes are always a mystery. I know _contact is everything_. What happens before & after is aesthetics but sometimes there is mystery involved. #TennisSky

Cool site

Ok here are the deals. MFA <=> 1 ballroom Tax reform <=> 1 arch Tariff restrictions <=> 1 Eisenhower building paint job etc etc I guarantee he will sign them.

🚨 Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @askdinadoll.bsky.social that Democrats are going big for the midterms: “We are mobilizing for a LANDSLIDE. We are not mobilizing for a squeaker. We are mobilizing for a COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of the political landscape and what's going on in government.”

An amazing image from Twin Peaks, Dune, and Fallout star Kyle MacLachlan's memoir "Fictional Selves" that just shows how awesome Patrick Stuart is.

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

Ignoring the fact that courts already ruled on the participants of the election. I could conceive of a lawsuit to a higher court or on different grounds saying 'set aside the result because it's unfair.' Saying 'set it aside only if we lose" with we not being the party but the DOJ? That's CRAZY

“There does not appear to be a single enterprise customer for AI who pays the vendor more than it costs to deliver the service,” says longtime investor Roger McNamee.

And shows how Trump's arch would change the view of the Lincoln Memorial from Arlington House (the Custis-Lee Mansion). 3/3

The Republican Party's closing message to voters is basically "there is a non-zero chance that we will send armed state agents to drag you from your home if you try to participate in democracy." Vile and pathetic.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Trump’s speech in Florida today was so incoherent even Fox cut away.

Imagine all the progress we never have made if we only moved forward after the crowd changed instead of righteous leaders saying we should what is good and worthwhile.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

👀 Republican on why he backs @abdulelsayed.bsky.social 👇🏽

Tafoya: "My opponent is sitting here saying she's worried about access to Medicaid and school meals -- give me a break!"

Saw an old guy with the craziest drip today

What fears? POTUS and cabinet members have _literally said_ they intend to make new strikes _after the midterms_.

I thought this was explicitly illegal and Trump could wave sanctions to allow Russian diesel to be sold _elsewhere_ in the global market but not directly imported.

Trump says it's important to listen to rapist's accomplices. I wish this idea were a new thing in his head.

The US has been the big winner of the post WWII international order so it taking steps to destabilize it is just shooting itself in it's foot. Soft power - gone Dollar dominance - waning Military might - degraded Tech/Arms sales - diminished Research - degraded Tourism - down. eating the seed corn

The use of the term 'warfighter' should be disqualifying for participation in any way in national security matters. It is clearly signaling a Hegsethian mindset of 'move fast and break things' which is not a basis for a secure and stable international order.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
