A fun detail: Poirot repeatedly describes the Macho Jesus his leetle grey cells dreamed up as like a “Mustang.” You might think this is merely weird and homoerotic, but it’s actually linked to a bit of misinformation evangelicals like to use to retcon Jesus as a high-T alpha male.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Two men deported to Equatorial Guinea by the Trump administration were hooded, bound, beaten with guns and shoved down a flight of stairs recently by police officers at a remote hotel where immigrants are being held indefinitely, according to witnesses and lawyers. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/w...

A Central African Hotel Has Become a Nightmare Prison for U.S. Deportations
Witnesses say men were hooded and beaten in Equatorial Guinea. The autocratic government there is a partner in President Trump’s deportation program.

This is straight-up evil. Yom Kippur is on Monday — the moral contradiction is impossible to ignore. 📌 REUTERS: Israeli settlers set fire to olive groves in the town of Burqa in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to local Palestinian residents. Burned trees that are “thousands of years” old.

Mike Johnson just canceled votes. He doesn't want a vote on stopping the war or releasing more of the Epstein files. He knows that, come January, he will not be Speaker of the House. The last thing Congress needs is a vacation. When we take back the House, we will be working overtime.

EXCLUSIVE: The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe told Democracy Docket that it hasn’t received an invitation from the Trump administration to observe the midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.

A decade ago, Facebook was so worried about rising misinformation that it paid various news outlets to hire writers specifically tasked with publishing Snopes-like fact-checks. Today, the company is leaping into bed with a purveyor of misinformation to toy with a tool known for getting facts wrong.
The top part of a Newsmax press release dated 28 July 2026 headlined "Newsmax and Meta Enter AI Content Partnership." The screenshotted text of the press release reads:

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) ("Newsmax" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has entered into an AI content partnership with Meta Platforms ("Meta").

Under the agreement, Meta will have access to Newsmax's digital news content. Meta will be able to draw upon Newsmax's significant current reporting as well as archived content across its platforms to support AI queries across Meta's apps and devices.

"Newsmax applauds the significant resources Meta is putting into AI to keep America at the forefront of this emerging technology," commented Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax. "We are pleased to work with Meta to help ensure users have access to timely, high-quality journalism through AI technologies."
