Got an email from my insurance company telling me it's "Cybersecurity Awareness Month" and asking me to strengthen my digital security by signing into my account. Through the email. You know, the exact same thing phishing emails do. It's like they're trying to train their customers to get scammed.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Nothing to see here. Please move along…
Picture of a New York Times story by Edward Wong from Sept. 27 edition showing the headline and first three paragraphs. 

Headline: Trump Offered to Sell Arms to China, U.S. Ambassador Says

Subhead: President Trump made the offer to Xi Jinping, China’s leader, said David Perdue, the U.S. ambassador to China. Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan.

First paragraphs: President Trump has asked Xi Jinping, the leader of China, whether he would like to buy American weapons, David Perdue, the American ambassador to China, said in a television interview on Sunday.

“President Trump continues to say, ‘Hey, we sell arms to other people around the world,’” Mr. Perdue said on “Fox News Sunday” while discussing the state visit by Mr. Xi to Washington last week. “He actually asked President Xi would he like to buy some at one point.”

Mr. Perdue did not give further details and did not reveal Mr. Xi’s reply.

Will Bunch is why I subscribe to the Philly Inquirer. Here he calls out the media for (once again) sane washing Trump, in probably the most egregious case of all – his profoundly and dangerously unhinged speech to the UN last week. It's a 5-alarm fire folks. But you wouldn't know it reading the NYT.
