These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

a black husky with white paws sits outside on a gray mat. this is kaito, and he stares at the camera with sparkling blue eyes. he wears a southwest pattern bandana around his neck.

kaito rests his black face between his two white paws and looks up at us with his blue eyes. he's resting on a big pet pillow.

kaito's pink tongue and bright blue eyes pop in the sun as he lays on a rug outside.

This is Kaito. He is the final boss of blue eyes. You are not prepared to face his stare. 13/10 (IG: tikanni.kita.n.tehya.3.sibes)

🔥 CHARLAMAGNE: “He said he’d bring down inflation. His signature legislation was Medicaid cuts — 15 million lose health care, kids lose food assistance… When Trump said it was going to be a Golden Age, he wasn’t talking about YOU. He was talking about the rich.”

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

You may have heard that Wednesday was my last day after nearly 20 yours of serving as a career employos at the Justice Department. This news may have come as a surprise to you, as it did to me when I received a letter stating that I had hoon terminated immediately, without cause, It appears that my termination was based on little more than a single social media post containing false information I am disappointed to leave behind a national security and puhbu safety mission that I truly believed in. I am even more disappointed to see what has happened to this office and the Department of Justice in just a few short months. The decisioni in remove experimod career officials from US Attorneys Offices, the FBI, and other critical parts of DOI undermines mar country's ability to mnter terrorist crganizations, malign nation-state actors, and countless ethers that seek to harm our nation and its citiems I am proud of the work I have done on behalf of the American people. I am humbled arrated the victims of crime and their families in ensuring that the criminal justice system provided a mesure of clans. I am sroubled that I was removed an abruptly in the middle of important work, including the prosecution of Mohammad Sharifullah, the only person to face justion in the United Stann for the homhing at the Abbey Ciate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport. This prosecution meant to bring justice to the 13 United States service members and suns of civiliam killed and mjwed. While I have the utmost confidence in my on-name, my aheupt, apparently thoughtless removal with as period of transition will hurt this case. This eximybe highlights the most troubling moet of the current operations of the Department of Justice the leadership is more concerned with peamishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with pertesting our national security. Justice for Americans killed and injured by our enemies should not be contingent on what someone in the Department of Justice ane…

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 15, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS, SUBJECT: ImEoundment Authority David Chew asked our office for general information on the President's impoundment authority. He originally asked Joe Wright for such information and was provided the packet at Tab A, but thought a clearer exposition was necessary. I talked with Chew to obtain some sense of what he was interested in, and he indicated that the issue of impoundment was raised in general discussions of how to achieve budget goals. The attached memorandum simply outlines the requirements of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, 2 u.s.c. §§ 681-688, touches upon the unresolved Chadha issue presented by that Act, and attempts to dampen any hopes that inherent constitutional impoundment authority may be invoked to achieve budget goals. As noted in the memo- randum, the question of whether the President has such authority is not free from doubt, but I think it clear that he has none in normal situations, and we should discourage Chew and others from considering impoundment as a viable budget planning option. Our institutional vigilance with respect to the constitutional prerog- atives of the presidency requires appropriate deference to the constitutional prerogatives of the other branches, and no area seems more clearly the province of Congress than the power of the purse.

Tylenol maker says it 'strongly disagrees' with Trump's claims about acetaminophen Kenvue said in a statement that “sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism.”

Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, said that “sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism.”

The company pointed to scientific reviews by multiple government regulators worldwide, including those previously published by the FDA. https://to.pbs.org/4nQ6rUR

Data investigation: Childhood vaccination rates are backsliding across the U.S. A monthslong NBC News data investigation finds that much of the U.S. doesn't have the protection needed to stop the spread of deadly diseases. St. Louis is a window into the problem communities face nationwide.

SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
