It was the wedding I went past his morning walking the dog and they were cleaning up - and I congratulated the family. They started to apologize if they were loud and I told them not to worry it was great to hear somebody having something to celebrate - particularly these days.

Somone in our neighborhood is having a fun Punjabi (I think?) party - it sounds like fun and I sort of want to go find it. (A house two blocks away was decorated for a wedding yesterday and maybe it is them? If so congrats! ) (Also giggling as I know my MAGA neighbors are probably seething)

I’ve been reporting on the CDC for years, and have written about many of its troubles over the past year. I was still shocked by the extent of the staff losses and political interference I found when reporting this one. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

The new single from U2 seems like it answers the question of whether Larry Mullen Jr. can still play the drums. Also interesting to see the final track featuring Dolly Parton. Echos of Zooropa and Johnny Cash featuring on the last track.

U2's song Silencio from the album U2 Carnaval De Luz is displayed on a music player with controls for play, pause, and volume.

New, from me: The Kennedy Center and NIH don't appear to have much in common, but both reveal what happens when nonpartisan institutions clash with a personalist regime. The inherent contradictions between competence and cronyism soon reveal themselves. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-art-an...

Ohio’s only national forest is being opened back up to fracking. The federal government just leased oil and gas rights beneath nearly 2,800 acres of Wayne National Forest for about $11 million, the first competitive lease sale there since 2017.

It’s not sustainable - the impact goes beyond even cost of goods etc. imagine being in a school district asking for a levy so your schools dont fall to state minimums in this climate. I don’t have to imagine it - I’m happy my kiddos graduated but I fear for the students in my town

Prediction (that I’ve said since 2025) - he is removed from office after the midterms and JD is put in. After the midterms JD would be eligible to run in 2028 and 2032. If put in before the midterms he would only be eligible for 2028.
