It's October and the surprises from the campaign trail are going to be many and probably dark. Get ready.

Dems can "make it clear that everyone who aids and abets Trump in his Neroism can and will be held accountable to the full extent of the law. ... Anyone who says something like 'We should look forward, not back' is making it significantly less likely that we will have anything to look forward to."

The bridge cost over $38 million and was fantastically over budget ( original budget was $24 million) so I would excerpt absolutely no warranty

I think it's true that republicans don't want to answer polls- because they aren't going to vote for a republican this fall and are loathe to admit it.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

I'm not afraid of AI, I am very concerned about the lack of oversight by people trying to make trillions of dollars that are also in charge of keeping us safe. They're more concerned with their riches instead of their responsibility to the rest of us.

Liberals say that Trump and his band of drunks, sex abusers, and white nationalists have put our democracy at risk. They're wrong—Trump and his band of drunks, sex abusers, and white nationalists have put our republic at risk.

Democrats need to declare that any contractor who damages or destroys property illegally, on Trump’s orders, will be permanent debarred. And governors need to declare they’ll inherit those debarments. Take that job, you may never work again.

Everyone else is worried about the AI apocalypse but I’ve been hearing about that for 30 years and I can’t get very worked up any more. For me the question is: If these things can code (and they can!) then why aren’t we seeing any great software? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/o...

For those who are new, Joe DiGenova has spent the last 30 years baselessly accusing Democrats of committing crimes. If he is saying publicly the Trump administration pushed him out because he wouldn’t bring cases because there was no evidence, things are really bad.

Usually reporters get leaks FROM the White House -- but at Fox News, a reporter appears to have leaked TO the White House. That's according to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's explanation of the sudden Maria Bartiromo erasure by the Murdochs
Status has learned that Bartiromo's termination stems from an incident, which has not previously been reported, that occurred in July. After Trump delivered his unhinged prime time speech in which he pushed more conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, this time making a number of allegations against China, I am told that Fox News issued guidance to senior employees instructing them to steer clear of giving credence to Trump's delusional claims. I'm told that the guidance was issued in writing. Indeed, the day after Trump's prime time address, Fox News conspicuously avoided covering the debunked claims the president had pushed. The lack of coverage raised eyebrows among media observers at the time. It also appears to have caught the attention of the White House. It's unclear whether Trump or someone at the White House inquired with Bartiromo about the lack of coverage. But ultimately Bartiromo spilled the secret, Status has learned, divulging to the White House that Trump's speech had received scant coverage on the channel because network bosses had ordered it so. I'm even told the text message in which Fox News brass offered their guidance was shared by Bartiromo with the White House. In doing sO. Bartiromo not only effectively betrayed her employer, but also disclosed confidential company information, violating the terms of her employment agreement.
