🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

A Tennessee sheriff said internal and criminal investigations are underway in the death of a K-9 officer who died after being left in an outdoor kennel with no access to water for 36 hours.

Cleaning out old photos, and forgot there was an era where the Kiwi Farms weebs discovered I had dropped out of colleges years before becoming an attorney, and thought it would be an effective attack 😂 Really need to thread the old #Threadnought posts for posterity

The ten-year yield blasts thru 5.25% @cnbc.com

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

President Donald Trump will be addressing the nation tomorrow from the Oval Office at 2 pm ET.

Called it again

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.

there are a non-zero number of Quiet Conservatives that fully expect to be treated the same as they always have. They’re embarrassed by Trump, and will be the first to say “it was so embarrassing” when it’s over, try to claim the mantle of their principles. they’ll rely on their social peers to help

Punxsutawney Jill is sticking her head out a little early this cycle.

I’ve seen several people post about hangovers today and you may think this is going to be a post celebrating sobriety but actually it’s a former drunk telling you that Liquid IV before you go to bed is genuinely helpful and if you’re going to be drinking hard at your big age you should get some

Scoop: ShinyHunters say they have medical and psychiatric records of FBI staff. @ajvicens.bsky.social and I have gone through and partially authenticated the sample data they’ve circulated. www.reuters.com/world/shinyh...

Out of curiosity, what spurred the transition? I've known people who were Republican and paid no attention because they thought things were going ok, since their lives were ok, then they looked into things and flipped pretty quickly, was something similar your scenario?

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows DHS to use its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database with Social Security info, staying a district court order that had vacated the new policy. Justice Jackson dissents for the three Dem appointees. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Idiocy

Wu on redistricting if Dems get control: "You do the exact same thing that they did to you until they say mercy" and agree to national, bipartisan reform.

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

What the actual fuck. Trump apparently used U.S. government money to air this gross propaganda ad on Fox News tonight. This version he posted on Truth Social a couple of weeks ago; when it aired on Fox News tonight it said "Paid for by the U.S. Government" underneath.

Yo @gregdoucette.bsky.social I'm assuming this ain't you as you don't strike me as a mastodon account with no actual profile kinda guy

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

A Naperville police officer used Flock Safety license plate reader technology to track a girlfriend and her ex-fiance, according to documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Naperville Sun.

Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month: wapo.st/4yfNHng

If these numbers are somewhat right (including the party-favorability numbers), query what it means for General Assembly elections. At some point, gerrymanders break. @gregdoucette.bsky.social?
