Like several folks have mentioned, it looks like this yahooโ€™s finger is on the trigger - the first thing they teach you not to do in gun safety class. Unless he was ready to fire. Ignorant or homicidal - those are the options.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. Thereโ€™s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Just completed the Cancer Prevention Study-3 survey! I enrolled in this over 10 years ago, with 300,000 other cancer-free volunteers.

My Dad - who died of colon cancer at 95 - inspired me to do this. Long live scientific research! #fuckcancer

J. B. Pritzker Wishes for Precedented Times Twenty-seven minutes with the latest governor Donald Trump wants arrested

Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. โ€œAnd if youโ€™re not willing to stand up and push back while itโ€™s happening in the early days,โ€ Pritzker added, โ€œit gets a lot harder later.โ€

โ€œEurope should take heart and recognise its own strength. Its military budget is already four times larger than Russiaโ€™s; its economy is ten times larger. Far from shying away from a financial contest with the Kremlin, Europe should embrace itโ€”and win the war.โ€

BREAKING: We're suing North Carolina over its congressional map that disenfranchises Black voters in the state.

The newly passed map shifts thousands of Black voters out of their communities of representation.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

California will dispatch observers to watch DOJโ€™s election monitors U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday that the federal administration would deploy staff to evaluate Californiaโ€™s Nov. 4 redistricting election.

Glad they are doing this. Thank you @governor.ca.gov and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov Hope @newjerseyoag.bsky.social does the same.

When people tell me, "Things will never be the same again!," I remind them...that nothing is ever the same again. Both in good times...and bad. Our job is to turn it around...no matter how many years that may take...and make Goddamn sure things are NEVER the same again. We'll make it better.

CBS News anchor John Dickerson becomes latest figure to exit network Announcement comes amid concerns about networkโ€™s ownership and ability to maintain editorial independence

There are still journalists with ethics who won't "bend the knee", @jaketapper.bsky.social. Follow role models like John Dickerson. You know, someone who understands what a journalist is and lives by those standards. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them.

And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But hereโ€™s the truth no one wants to say: Itโ€™s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future. 

There will be universal high income."
