Also important to remember that everyone involved in the coverup -- whether formally or informally -- is part of the exact same conspiracy against the victims and against the nation.

Phew, glad the wealthy elite aren't being impacted like the rest of us.

For Armistice Day, here's a letter my great uncle wrote to his old school in 1914 about the Christmas truce

One of those elections where taking poll numbers and adding in a bunch of magical Republican voters simply didn't work. :(

Amazing

Woman threatened No Kings protestors with a gun in Myrtle Beach, SC www.wbtw.com/news/grand-s...

There was violence at the No Kings protests -- by MAGA. Would like to see more reporting on this given Republican leaders' rhetoric www.cantonrep.com/story/news/a...

Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.

Feeling ever so slightly better about my country after yesterday

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.”

Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election”

Devastating numbers for Trump in Economist/YouGov poll:
➡️Economy is fair/poor (71%), not excellent/good (27%)
➡️Economy is getting worse (54%), not better (23%)
➡️Trump (57%), not Biden (22%), is more responsible for it.
➡️62% disapprove of his handling of inflation/prices, 55% on jobs/the economy.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers. One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left. Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

NEW: Bishop Rojas of San Bernardino has dispensed his Diocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to ongoing ICE raids.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

All the polls on the LA protests and Trump's response so far The president's approval rating on immigration and deportations is falling fast

Trump's net approval on immigration is now underwater again.

🌱 Went upstate for a couple of days to do fieldwork this week and returned to find my peppers 🌶️ had gone nuclear 🤯

Oh, hey! I've got a couple of Apaches in that pic! Had three plants sprout from a pepper seed grab bag last year

We'll find out very soon!

🌱Habaneros, Trinidad Scorpions, and a pepper from Venezuela I don't know the name of. Pretty sure all three are the same species (C. chinense), with dramatic differences in heat levels due to human meddling over time. Fresh from the garden 🌶️🔥💥

🌱 Peppers are starting to pop! 🌶️🔥

The Press Secretary is lying.

People on overpass with letters spelling out: Medicaid Cuts Fund Billionaires.

Visibility Brigade Swing Left JP - #Boston today.

Beautiful!

🌱 First 🌶️ s are in! They don't look like much right now, but they have a horde of siblings still ripening outside. Banana, cayenne, habanero, scorpion, Venezuelan ají, Belizean pico de paloma, and Apache in frame

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Trump plan cuts funding for brain injury research The Trump administration's budget request eliminates major federal funding for traumatic brain injury research and education, potentially undercutting efforts to address head injuries in sports.

So traumatic brain injury research was feeling left out in the things White House wanted to cut. But fear not White House is on the case. Cancer can’t have all the fun. Name yr tragedy, Trump wants to cancel your hope. www.espn.com/espn/story/_...
