President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

More than 100,000 people cast an in-person ballot during the first day of early voting in Harris County on Monday, beating the previous record of 63,188 set in 2018.

i know it won't happen. not gonna shut up though

This is also why I think it is so important to include the crimes of Italian fascists and Japanese militarists (and even of the Soviets) because the lesson is not 'the Nazis were uniquely bad' but rather 'if you let authoritarians take and hold power in *any* country, this is what they will do.'

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

He is bragging about theft. Neither he, nor the United States nor anyone else in his orbit has the legal right to those assets. And when we get the majority in January, we will ensure that crimes are prosecuted.

The existence of moving chains has been documented in multiple cities across different countries using increasingly fine-grained and sophisticated data. The relationship between housing supply, demand, and rent growth is well known. Denying these phenomena is quackery.

Real wages are shrinking year-over-year for the sixth month in a row. The Iran War brought an end to three years of real wage growth.

Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.

“Voters should pick Rosenthal.” The Dallas Morning News agrees: 25 years of engineering experience > political drama.

Local Republican politics

No doubt one of the coolest things in social media is hearing directly from artists (all genres and media). I don’t even play or collect this game; I just think it’s neat.

This bad boy can fit so many nationalized space companies inside it you wouldn’t believe it

"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender" www.theatlantic.com/idea/2026/10...

But I was assured by this same publication that Elon was stepping away from politics.

Asking “what distro should I use” on a public forum inevitably gets a list of every flavor of Linux in roughly proportion to their market shares.

I'll buy a round for the first reporter that gets Hegseth to admit that his excitement stems from the prospect of killing a non-white person or from killing an infidel.

they were *lying* when they were "worried" about Asian-American college applicants, and they are *lying* now when they're "worried" about "strivers." They do not want non-white people being in any way superior (or evident) to white people. that's it. that's the whole thing.

The president should absolutely be campaigning day and night for Republicans up and down the ballot and make the entire midterm a referendum on his performance

Today is the deadline to register to vote in Texas! Check your status at VoteTexas.gov . 30 days until we elect competence to the Railroad Commission. Let’s do this, Texas.

Italy poasting

We're all looking for the guys who did this

They're working to undermine the notion of presidential accountability. Anything to establish "We didn't do it, and if we did, what does it matter?" as the predominant attitude.

Medicalizing the state murder of citizens was a terrible move that has desensitized most people to exactly what the death penalty is.

Manchester City’s Emirati chair was granted diplomatic immunity six years ago in a move that could complicate any legal action resulting from findings that the Premier League club artificially inflated its finances by more than £900mn. www.ft.com/content/1256...

Video games are RUINING gaming. RT if you think gaming was better before games

Ken Paxton told a group of conservative donors and lobbyists last week that Trump’s midterm convention in Dallas had hurt Paxton politically, according to an audio recording obtained by the @nytimes.com. @teddyschleifer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

The political parties are Gender, exhibit 37,158.

The transparency of the whole scene is really the icing on the cake. The redness in his face is really what’s ultimately disqualifying in a Republican nominee. It shows that he still feels shame.

Send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

Breaking: The Texas Tribune has identified the ICE agent who witnesses say fired through an open van window and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston nearly three months ago.

The most effective political ad is just quoting them

very cool

They’re throwing “national security concerns” at everything from “I want a ballroom and an arch” to “I don’t like news reporters.” Just the most transparent fig leaf to ask SCOTUS to let him be just a little dictator-ish.

Absolutely delightful how ADP has a bright mode only splash page to sort you to an optional dark mode login page which forwards you to a bright mode only application.

Yin and yang take many forms, but this feels heavy handed

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

We’re winning.

I endorse this billboard
