"This election might as well have been designed in a lab to test whether the national climate movement can rally attention and support around a key state race."

PICARD: Mr. Data, we need to discuss these anomalies in your latest reports

DATA: Respectfully sir, the odds I would make a mistake in my work are 43,650,000 to-

PICARD: On this map of the alpha quadrant you've labeled Klingon "Krisphon" and Vulcan "Vuvutrishpo"

GEORDI: Captain, be reasonable! He's not supposed to be good at that. Just ask him to write another poem about cats

I remember when NYT (or WaPo?) had this live tracker of people endorsing Harris versus people calling for an open primary, and when the former column filled up with exactly one person in the latter column they changed it to Endorsed/Has Not Endorsed

Also, Biden named the first trans four star public health officer and Trump thinks trans people are a public health problem. So even on the specific issue of trans rights, things were not remotely this bad.

It's fucked because you have simultaneously shit like this and also people losing their children because, basically, they're poor.

β€œShall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:

Guarantee women’s medical care for emergencies, ectopic pregnancies, and miscarriages; 
Ensure women’s safety during abortions; 
Ensure parental consent for minors; 
Repeal Article I, section 36, approved in 2024; allow abortions for medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, rape, and incest;
and Prohibit sex-change procedures for children?”

This is absurd. What the amendment would actually do is ban abortion and youth gender-affirming care. Are you getting that… at all from this ballot language? missouriindependent.com/2025/10/07/m...

NGL --- I literally just got off the phone with Sen. Smith's office to thank her for the below post, and to (once again!) ask that Democrats start pushing impeachment, for instance, in response to Trump's post that he wants to imprison Pritzker.

But this is good, too.

I think it was a mistake to not clutch pearls about the rampaging mob on January 6. They all should have ended up floating down the Potomac.

Opinion | Yes, I voted for Trump three times, but I gave Obama $250 in 2008 and have a gay client at my brokerage. Treat me as the independent-minded voter that I am.

On the other hand, encouraging that the military isn’t cowed at every level

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

This is the lib/left-coded version of demanding an LLM say the n-word if it'd prevent a bomb from going off. I'm not arguing there's a directly harmed party, but it's negotiating the bounds of performing acts of domination purely for the thrill

You could at least have the decency to endorse Mamdani before you swipe his schtick.

I don't hate this, for the record. Mainstream Dems stealing Mamdani's act is a positive development for the party and the country.

But dude. C'mon.

Jared Golden, Vicente Gonzalez, and Jared Moskowitz are the three House Democrats who I think voted for Trump. I think only the latter regrets it.

RACE CALL:

State Rep. Aftyn Behn (D) advances from an incredibly split field to face former Tennessee Department of General Services director Matt Van Epps (R) in the TN-07 special general election.

This is a win for the most left-wing candidate in the primary
