I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

Me too! I had forgotten what it’s like!

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

An American crow perched in a maple tree, surrounded by leaves changing color for fall. They are a mix of yellow, green, and orange. The crow looks magnificent.

Crows are perfect and that's all I really have to say

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

In light of today's trial in United States of America I decided to finish the lyrics to this 👉

There are more of us than there are of them.

Way to go Palm Beach he definitely is!

this is genuinely wild

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” -Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

This. Always this.

Long exposure of a leaf “pack” in a stream. Half of the leaves are above the surface of the water and there is a bunch under the water.

“…
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story
and you are somewhere in it
and it will never end until all ends.
…
The song you heard singing in the leaf when you
were a child
is singing still.
…”

LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections

Q: What's the evidence of that?

LEAVITT: It's just a fact

Unpaid government workers are being fed by World Central Kitchen…let that sink in just how dire things are.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

They are destroying what SHE built.

This is a disaster.

@teenvogue.com was an unlikely and crucial light in this journalistic desert hell-scape.

I'm so sad and sorry, both for you all and especially for us.

BlackRock is the same company that employed his attempted "assassin" in a commercial

Imagine that. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/u...

Enough said!
