i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Moving public $ from medical to AI research reveals #priorities www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I am all in favor of impeaching cabinet members who have clearly exceeded authority, broken laws and failed to execute other laws. To exclude POTUS unilaterally seems to make the investigations into corruption toothless. Dems committed to exposing this admin must not prejudge in either direction.

Next Poll: Marco Rubio 32% Bad Bunny 36% That guy from the Six Flags commercial in 1996 7%

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

I wonder if he has it filter out his son whose blood he took on the regular.

I was a late teenager the first time someone called me 'sir' and it was ... strange. Last 5-10 years it is commonplace for customer service or sales or charitable organizations or political organizations to contact me and address me by my first name which is ... disrespectful? I don't know you.

tag yourself. I'm I AM ON FIRE; KEEP CLEAR OF ME

if you are in new york i'm going to be talking about citizenship and the 250th at an event at NYU. register if you're interested!

I grew up in BK and Brighton Beach was always known as a Russian neighborhood (though it obviously has many people from many places), so STFU.

This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Man is striving ceaselessly for smaller-than-OJ list of places he will be welcome after his blow up.

I used to work with voice recognition software and it would give you a % confidence level of it's recognition of the speaker's words. Putting this out without being a bit more specific about the word 'believe' is telling on itself. Difference between 'I believe' and 'I would bet my house'.

Masks off 1st thing in the new congress.

Standard safety testing should include a grade on how long it takes a driver to perform a few basic functions: * Change the HVAC controls to certain temp / fan speed * Enter a navigation destination * Turn on a certain radio station etc A mounted screen no less distracting than a phone

No clue why the Fed would hold as persistent above-target inflation proceeds apace and shocks show no sign of abating. Seems to be consensus that they will but I just don't get it. The grant of credibility given by a single 25bp hike seems way over-the-top. #EconSky

"Republicans’ small-dollar donor base has contracted in recent years, leaving the party more dependent on a tiny group of wealthy megadonors." James Talarico "has had roughly the same number of donors on ActBlue this cycle as all Republican candidates and committees combined had on WinRed."

good closing message *HASSETT: THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS A MYTH

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

Here is the announcement.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

This is anti-law, and it should be treated as such.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Ok here are the deals. MFA <=> 1 ballroom Tax reform <=> 1 arch Tariff restrictions <=> 1 Eisenhower building paint job etc etc I guarantee he will sign them.

🚨 Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @askdinadoll.bsky.social that Democrats are going big for the midterms: “We are mobilizing for a LANDSLIDE. We are not mobilizing for a squeaker. We are mobilizing for a COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of the political landscape and what's going on in government.”

An amazing image from Twin Peaks, Dune, and Fallout star Kyle MacLachlan's memoir "Fictional Selves" that just shows how awesome Patrick Stuart is.

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

Ignoring the fact that courts already ruled on the participants of the election. I could conceive of a lawsuit to a higher court or on different grounds saying 'set aside the result because it's unfair.' Saying 'set it aside only if we lose" with we not being the party but the DOJ? That's CRAZY
