What will the Court do to us this term? It’s already taken away Roe v. Wade, given Trump a pass from prosecution for January 6, and permitted partisan gerrymanders. How much worse can it get? This term, there are some distinctly unpleasant possibilities. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

I really think this is one of the best pods we've recorded, thanks to @aselrod.bsky.social. It started with Fox polling and ended up on liberalism's roots in the Christian idea of equality before God and how Trumpism's corruption/depravity are creating an opening for Ds to make deeper moral appeals.

If LeBron or Taylor Swift posted this most recent El Niño historical temperature graph (current one in red) 500 million people would be in the streets. (And a hundred million lives would likely be saved in the next 20 months) #ClimateCrisis

New Fox poll shows Trump coalition collapsing in Texas. GOP is sinking money into Iowa and Kansas. The horrors of Late-Stage Trumpism are creating space for a new anti-corruption, anti-cruelty politics to emerge. On the pod, @aselrod.bsky.social is brilliant on this: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

The reversal of Roe v. Wade drives American doctors into direct political action, reshaping state-level abortion battles. Propelled by widespread bans, physicians mobilize across the political spectrum to launch ballot measures, lobby lawmakers, file lawsuits, and run for public office.

The Fall of Roe Changed Doctors. Now They’re Changing Politics.

State-level abortion debates have activated physicians as a political force like never before.

Ominous sign for GOP: Latino voters are moving sharply back toward Democrats. A CBS/YouGov poll shows likely Hispanic voters backing Democratic House candidates 60–39. Republicans drew key districts in Texas and Florida betting Trump’s Latino gains would stick. That bet looks increasingly shaky.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, who tragically lost his 58-year-old mum and several family members to COVID-19 complications, continues advocating for vaccination. “I have asthma,” Towns said, highlighting his “high-risk status” while raising awareness of the non-mRNA NUVAXOVID vaccine.

A screenshot of a Forbes article titled "Karl-Anthony Towns Who Lost Mom To COVID-19 Talks Of Value Of Vaccine." The article is written by Bruce Y. Lee and shows a publication date from early October 2026. Below the headline, a photograph captures NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns sitting at a press conference microphone wearing a white New York Knicks jersey. He is looking forward with a serious expression against a blue backdrop covered in repeating logos for Chase and the New York Knicks. A caption below the photo identifies him as the Knicks center speaking at a recent Media Day.
