I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

Until the 20th century, only white people could claim citizenship in America. With MAGA, even being a citizen is insufficient to being an American; whiteness is all.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

The prayer for relief is insane. They want the court to preemptively announce that it will block the state from certifying the election result, but only if the incumbent Dan Sullivan loses.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."

I'm just back from riding the Agawa Canyon Tour Train: 183 km north from Sault Ste. Marie on the old Algoma Central line, into one of the most magical places in Canada. Peak leaf-peeping season, with the maples blazing red and the birches brilliant yellow. 🚂🧵

The Toronto Police arrested Aly Van Wyck-Smart, a Paralympian with cerebral palsy who was protecting part of the bike lane from removal. On the bright side, the construction workers put the bollards back and said we'd won for the day.

I don't think Trump is willing to accept the embarrassment that would come with firing Katie Zacharia (it would reflect quite poorly on him!), so my prediction is she becomes Stephanie Grisham 2.0 -- a press secretary who does nothing but puff interviews on Fox and doesn't brief

“GOP candidates compete to see who is the most like Trump, even before his Eye of Sauron alights on their race. When it does, he puts his thumb on the scale for whoever has demonstrated the most abject loyalty to him — whether that person will make a good general election candidate or not.” 🥹

New in PN: The GOP parade of horribles "This isn't a problem from which the GOP will free itself. Even if Trump withdraws quietly to Mar-a-Lago (unlikely), he's given birth to a generation of R politicians who want to be like him, or worse. And he's trained R voters to expect that from candidates."
