POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The vice president of the United States is a clownish dipshit, Exhibit 64,532

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

On the pod, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social and me on this:

I wonder if the video of Tom Homan accepting a $50K payoff from the FBI is in the same lockbox as the Epstein files and the cocktail napkin that Trump used to write out his health care plan.

"Authoritarianism. It's a cancer. The symptoms are here today." @gtconway.bsky.social and @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social with historical context that drives home their point and their case for turning out at the Oct. 18 #NoKings protests.

1/9 Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has fought Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

It dominated militarily in every case. Yet strategic victories never followed.

Gaza is the clearest example of that failure

Which is, of course, the point of it.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Händel was an immigrant.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

11 October 1937 | A French Jewish girl, Monique Preigher, was born in Neuilly.

In December 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

This is unacceptable.

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

Looking at you, all major news orgs.

When you’ve completely run out of op-ed ideas.

Paul Ingrassia has called for reparations from the descendants of slaves to slave owners.
You read that correctly.

Column | I tracked Amazon’s Prime Day prices. We’ve been played. Here’s what you should do to actually get a good deal on Amazon.

Save money during Amazon's Prime Days? Not so much. "I would have saved, on average, almost nothing during Amazon’s recent fall “Prime Big Deal Days” — and for some big-ticket purchases, I would have actually paid more," @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social found. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

It's actually kind of remarkable how well those things protect against getting shot with pepperballs.

They literally bounce off.

If this happens in a hospital you call a stroke code 😳
