The Schmitt thing is kind of scary because it shows just how much many elected Rs genuinely believe the crazy stuff. He and his staff thought they’d pulled the red thread on The Giant Conspiracy. They were so convinced it must be real they didn’t even think to double check.

The Panthers shot from the left, and the Hurricanes shot from the right, but mostly they both didn't shoot at all.

The Citizen app also does exactly this, why is it not banned? edition.cnn.com/2026/09/29/t...
Ultimately, Apple determined ICE tracking apps violated its guidelines because they provided “precise location information about ICE officers (and, as a result, other individuals who may be in proximity to ICE agents, such as protestors or detainees), thus providing a potential roadmap for targeted violence and creating a significant risk of harm,” the company said in its letter.

Public Citizen files a complaint opposing the broadcasting of Trump’s ads as violating laws against taxpayer-funded propaganda. Full complaint buff.ly/kYCsKEW
Public Citizen urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and broadcasters individually, to end airing recent campaign commercials by President Trump and the White House that appear to be in breach of federal law. At least three campaign ads, paid for by taxpayer dollars, appear to violate the federal law against using taxpayer funds to finance propaganda (5 U.S.C. §3107) and related provisions of the appropriations laws as well as the Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. §7324).

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The greatest tragedy of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, I have always said, is that the average American cared more about there not being a finger in their morning sausage than the plight of the now fingerless American worker but you know what hey at least they cared about something I guess

the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
