I'll spare you the details, but he's on another one of his manic posting sprees again. It seems suboptimal that with all that's going on, the president is spending his evening spreading misinformation at a frantic pace just to try to fill that massive black hole of an ego.

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

Hopper painted Railroad Sunset (1929) from memories of American train journeys. It places a stark railroad signal tower against a biblical-scale sunset. The precise geometry and vast sky embody his vision of modernity amid eternal landscapes.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Last year, a pastor saw masked immigration agents arresting someone at her church and filmed them. DHS denied they were there. A year later, DHS finally acknowledged the incident — days after WH border czar Tom Homan claimed "no one has been arrested at a church." religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...
religionnews.com
Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.
(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.

Right now, staff in the White House, at least one cabinet secretary two cabinet secretaries, multiple senators and congressmen, two former Speakers of the House, at least one two Supreme Court Justices, a dozen Circuit and District Court Judges, six governors that I know of, a bunch of state legislators, Supreme and appellate court Justices and judges in multiple states, some really famous theologians, journalists, and public policy makers, and at least one Academy Award winner are all reading the Show Notes that went out at noon.
