I abhor frivolity. Except, of course, for my beloved operettas.

Of course the adjudicated rapist couldn't care less about someone being raped.

Whoa. The U.S. added 90% fewer jobs in 2025 than originally reported.

That’s not a rounding error. That’s a massive difference between the economy Americans were told we had and the one we actually had.

New Talarico ad running statewide:

"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.

"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.

"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible. And if you’re voting by mail, make sure you seal both envelopes on your ballot. Don’t let them take away your vote.

The corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.

Voting early means Trump's goons can't suppress you with long lines, voter purges, or convenient "glitches" on Election Day. Take that power away from them. Vote early. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

Ten years ago today.

In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.

Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.

We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

@TomCottonAR And on what basis do you believe she might have broken the law? What evidence is there?

You'll find it?

So, in other words, none.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“Donald Trump’s treachery was predictable and predicted. Even so, watching him throwing a financial lifeline to Putin as the monstrous mob boss murders Ukrainians is sick-making stuff.

The president’s “October Suprise” was a stab in the back.”

@NickSolheim Urging an invaded nation to surrender is hardly an equitable version of "trying to end the war."

The fuck?

[AJL @andrewjlederer]

@robbystarbuck So, Russia can do whatever it wants if it has something we need?

[AJL @andrewjlederer]

@JackPosobiec Anyone who attempts to sabotage Trump is an American patriot or an ally of America and supporter of our Constitution.

Extra points if the efforts are successful.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If you or I called in a fake homicide tip, fraudulently applied for 20 visas and hacked websites, we’d be arrested and prosecuted.

The same standard must apply to AI CEOs.

Prosecute CEOs when their products break the law and pause advanced AI NOW.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

[AJL @andrewjlederer]

@ombudsmanBob @gtconway3d Not good enough to be the ramblings of a middle schooler. His musings sound like what they are, the utterances of an uneducated (regardless of the schools he attended) moron with an ego.
