Who is writing and telephoning their representatives in Congress and saying that you want U.S. immigration policy to be more welcoming to immigration? I have done so. Immigrants are good for the United States, but more people need to learn this and to say this to Congress.

It’s a Crisp Fall Morning on the East Bank. Minneapolis, Minnesota

A rust-colored truss bridge crosses a river, framed by red and yellow autumn leaves. A church steeple rises beyond the bridge.

The lit marquee of The Main Cinema faces a brick street beneath orange autumn trees. Fallen leaves scatter across the sidewalk outside the theater.

Early sunlight filters through orange leaves over a wooden riverside deck. A large tree fills the foreground, with an arched bridge visible through the branches.

A quiet residential street stretches beneath a canopy of glowing orange trees. Fallen leaves line the curbs, and a bicycle route marking is painted on the road.

Last time I succumbed to this feeling, I asked myself, “If I wake up on November 4 and this happened, and I could transport myself back to today, what would I do?” That’s when I began doing two doorknock shifts a week. If your life allows, please do what you can now. You can help change the future.

Tafoya is running a pretty damn good campaign and Peggy, well, is not. What a disaster it will be if Minnesotans respond to Metro Surge and political assassinations by electing a Republican Senator.

How about if we disarm all the Department of Homeland Security agents tasked with rounding up nonviolent immigrants who have no criminal record and let those agents have stress balls to get through their days? (And let's comprehensively reform immigration law too.)

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Replacing American workers with foreign workers so you don't have to pay Americans a decent wage is actually peak Capitalism, but this answer just proves that "Socialism" means "Everything that I don't like."

ICE has now signed 2,589 287(g) agreements deputizing local sheriffs and police to do immigration enforcement, 225 in the last 30 days alone. Most were signed without a public vote. Is your local police department one of them? Look it up, and find who to call.

Here’s a sample of the translation, it’s a great piece.

"Everywhere I looked, I saw companies that shouldn't exist. Companies built around misleading their customers, saying Al could do all sorts of things it couldn't do. And I hate people getting rich by conning people."
Zitron vented his incendiary monologues on
¡HeartRadio, America's largest radio publisher.
"The people at the radio company told me to lean into who I am. It helped me grow as a person."
It also spread his disgust and contempt for Silicon Valley. In Zitron's view, tech executives are trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes: claiming that Al will acquire godlike powers and pose a threat, while insisting that development must move so quickly that nobody has time to think. That, according to Zitron, is "the oldest trick in the con artist's book." In a recent podcast episode, he told Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to shut up twelve times.
"That was fun. I'm proud of that episode," he says with a smile.

But somewhere along the way, he has also grown into a new role - that of a serious commentator. And he is careful to point out that there are reasons for his anger. Focusing on the anger, he says, is a way of sidestepping the real issue.
"It's easier to see an angry man than to deal with a complex, uncomfortable truth."
His answers come quickly. Talking to him is both entertaining and mildly dizzying. Zitron is engaged, articulate and full of metaphors. He also mixes categorical pronouncements — such as the claim that Al almost exclusively makes people stupider - with a barrage of hard data.
For example, he points to OpenAl and Anthropic's spending, which is set to rise next year as computing capacity they have ordered becomes ready to come online. Claims like this, along with his reporting that hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs are sitting unused in warehouses, have led outlets including the Financial Times to quote directly from Zitron's blog, Where's Your Ed At.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.
