It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Hey, Axios reports QBs Colt McCoy and Johnny Manziel are going to be campaigning with Trump this week. I wonder if Colt will have any updates on the research he's done since Texas Monthly asked him about his gig on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. www.axios.com/2026/10/26/t...
It takes A LOT to be the biggest douchebag POS on @espn.com . Gotta hand it to McAfee. Your move Stephen A.
It shouldn’t have been this close and Lula’s party (like the Dems) needs to get its shit together and deliver appropriate reforms when in power.
Congratulations to Lula and the people of Brazil on a truly important victory! 🇧🇷 Brazil has once again shown the world what’s possible when working families organize, stand up for democracy, and demand a government that puts people first — not oligarchs & nepo babies & election deniers.

A reminder that none of these deals are profitable if the bulk of people making bets come out ahead. Adam Silver, LeBron, Giannis, KD and the entire NBA have decided to take a vested interest in their fans losing their shirts. And if they lose their houses, too? All the better.

The fact that this was widely expected doesn't make it less gross.
NBA will also extend its deal with DraftKings to include prediction markets and expects to do so with FanDuel, Fanatics and potentially others. "We were not going to move forward with the industry until we had the right regulatory framework put into effect," an NBA exec said.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."
It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising

Huh. And Trump is meddling in Alaska’s election.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
The State AGs need to step up and make charges stick
A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

Child rape is the MAGA brand after all
Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

Republicans have already passed two reconciliation bills. But the prospect of a divided government in 2027 has added a sense of urgency for Republicans looking to pass GOP priorities before the end of the year.

We absolutely DO care about golf and what Trump is doing to East Potomac is a travesty. It may not be anywhere near the worst thing Trump is doing, but it’s illegal garbage nonetheless.
East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not
Really want to thank the @sacbee.com for putting out very useful information on (checks notes) October 21st.
If you are not yet registered to vote, the last day to register in the 2026 general election is Monday, Oct. 19.

Admirer of Orban how? Admire what, exactly? The corruption enriching himself, his family, and cronies? The state’s forced takeover of media? Getting rid of the country’s top ranked university? Anti-LGBT bigotry? Abusing power to render elections no longer free or fair? The pro-Putin foreign policy?
LOL -- JD Vance says "I've endorsed one foreign candidate in my entire life, and it didn't go particularly well, as much as I'm very much an admirer of Orban"

"Daniel Perry conducted searches on killing protesters. He boasted to acquaintances about how he hoped to kill protesters...And then he killed a protester." Then Texas' Gov. Abbot (up for reelection) pardoned him. An absolutely heartbreaking and enraging story that deserves sharing.
Today we launch the first episode of my podcast. I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020. Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence. Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.

The White House says the malicious manipulation of Ukrainian access to StarLink and StarShield is over. Zelenskyy says it continues. And Zelenskyy, of course, is correct.
