Playbook: Sen. Thom Tillis lashed out in private texts to Trump earlier this year, saying he refused to take his "bullshit" and that, had Trump directly threatened him with a primary challenge, he would've "immediately told you to fuck yourself" and announced his retirement early.

This is on a knife's edge. Averages have Talarico lead at under 3 points. That's incredibly close. Polls might be wrong! But a broad coalition just may be coming together that confirms some basic insights about Late Stage Trumpism and why it's in so much trouble: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

There is an argument to be made that to win Talarico may not even have to get most of them to vote for him. He just needs them to not vote in general. If this were Cornyn as the nominee, I would expect Talarico to be regularly trailing by 3-6 points.

Very revealing that a. They don’t think their sons could be perpetrators, therefore any future accusations must be false, and b. They don’t think their sons could be victims—which is also significantly more likely than being falsely accused !

Of course they can do that. And then President Trump can veto anything they pass that he does not like. Because the funding does not expire until September 2029, anything that is unspent as of January 21, 2029 could be rescinded quickly if a Dem retakes the presidency.

Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Anthropic executives thought maybe the Pope and the Catholic Church in general hadn't thought too much about it and could be convinced by their presentation that AI was alive. Sometimes religious illiteracy bites you in the butt. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...
But the moral mission that Anthropic and the Vatican shared — human flourishing in the age of A.I. — had developed a deep fault line along the question of consciousness.

Just days before arriving at the Vatican in May, Mr. Olah and other speakers saw a full advance copy of the encyclical text for the first time.

Mr. Olah was so alarmed by the pope’s strong position against A.I. consciousness that he proposed pulling Anthropic out of the event, even at that late juncture, according to a Vatican organizer.

In the end, Mr. Olah and Anthropic decided to go forward with the appearance. Mr. Olah wanted to support the event despite his disagreements, but felt a responsibility to be honest about his concerns, according to a person familiar with his thinking. Organizers at the Vatican encouraged Mr. Olah to speak his conscience.

The law isn’t helping. New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they drank or used substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe’s assailants may never be held accountable under the law.
