Not something you see every day: I asked Anthony Constantino, the Republican running in #NY21, what the biggest city in his district is. He told me to ask Grok (it's Rome, population 32k).

I like how his gravied brain got him confused with the guy who died in the car with Princess Diana 29 years ago but now he has to retcon that with some fake explanation and the press has to just pretend like this is normal racism and not Alzheimer's racism.

Trump has directed his White House counsel to examine explosive allegations: Ex-Trump attorney Alina Habba told Trump that another one of his top advisers — former Kennedy Center leader Ric Grenell — failed to deposit a multimillion-dollar donation that her billionaire husband made to the center.

BREAN: “.. PPI was much more troubling than expected with the headline inflation rate rising to 6.3% in September from 5.6% .. .. If I were an FOMC member, I would strongly argue and vote for a rate hike on October 28 and I hope I am wrong in my forecast that they hold with three dissents.”

Republicans Don’t Know Ball Update: A hockey blogger asked the two Michigan Senate candidates for statements on the Red Wings. Rogers: blah blah Michigan loves the Red Wings El-Sayed: angry rant about how the cheap owners MUST pay Detroit’s young star defenseman octopusthrower.com/what-each-mi...
"Hockeytown, USA will always be a coveted destination for the world's top players,"
Rogers said. "The Detroit Red Wings boast one of the league's most storied and respected histories, dating back to their days as one of the Original Six franchises.
Few professional organizations can match the tradition, legacy and rpestige that define this iconic franchise. GO WINGS!""I was at the game when Darren McCarty took on Claude Lemieux," El-Sayed said.
"The '97 and '98 Stanley Cup championships are still highlights of my childhood. The teams the last few years have been a far cry from the Wings I came to love as a kid. They're stacking losing season on losing season, yet the llitch family's wealth has done nothing but grow.
Michiganders are sick of sky-high ticket and concession prices buying them nothing but disappointment."The team holding out on Simon Edvinsson is just the latest example in a long series of ownership prioritizing their bottom line over the team and the fans. Our teams aren't just assets for billionaires, they're part of our culture and heritage. Hockeytown deserves better."

If my old law professors told the Wall Street Journal that they do not consider me to be a lawyer, I think I would die on the spot from humiliation.
Zacharia worked as a research assistant for Roger Alford during her time in law school. Now at the University of Notre Dame, Alford remembered her as "a star at Pepperdine" and said he hoped the public would "get to know her before they prejudge her."
While he was unfamiliar with all the details of Zacharia's career after graduation, Alford said that
"generally speaking it would be unusual to say that you're a lawyer if you've not passed the bar somewhere."Robert Pushaw, a Pepperdine law professor who taught Zacharia and later attended her wedding, described her as "a good law student and a genuinely good person" but couldn't say whether the press secretary technically qualified as an attorney. He added that some well-respected legal scholars aren't attorneys.

Ahead of the 2024 election, @andykroll.bsky.social got his hands on some secret tapes of Trump's budget director, Russell Vought. One thing Vought said hit Kroll like a ton of bricks: that he wanted to put government workers “in trauma.” Listen to this episode: propub.li/4yO4q11
