One of reasons finance bros like Bessent hate Warren is misogyny of course but Also the fact that she knows their language and how the sausage is made in the financial world and routinely humiliates them publicly

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

I feel like we’ve all been asking a version of this over the last decade. And the answer seems to be that laws only work if you have systems and people in place who will enforce them. And since Rs control the entire government, they’ve just decided they can gorge themselves with zero consequence.

Zelenskyy: While our teams are meeting in Florida, US President is having conversation with Kremlin leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover...clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision from strong partners.

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

Good for MSNOW, which immediately broke into Markwayne Mullin's press conference about ICE's NYC shooting and showed he was lying. Mullin said Mayor Mamdani didn't comment on the stabbing of an officer. MSNOW showed the social post in which Mamdani said he visited the officer in the hospital.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

I don't know if this plays around the country but you can inject it into *my* veins. Just the fact that he has enough respect for the voters to speak to them like an educated adult in incredibly refreshing. And no, his indictment of Collins as a Nazi bigot is not hyperbole.

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.
