Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

And by a current Cornell student: "This putrid treatment of women did not originate in this house. It is a culture created over years of “tradition,” and it is what fraternities are built to produce, no matter what we say about the usual exceptions to the rule."

Cornell, abolish your fraternities

The case surrounding the ‘Cornell 7′ is as lurid as it gets; whether or not these men face prosecution, it will not change the structural issue with Greek life

TMZ says this 24-year-old is Trump's new press secretary. She reposted the story on Facebook, so I guess that's confirming it? This is a photo she posed for previously. Trump's malevolence and corruption are clearly more important. But the coarsening of the presidency makes me sick.

one thing about the partisans on the court is that because they have never run for office, they have incredibly bad political instincts. he isn’t the first justice to time his retirement to benefit his political party, but they’re typically not this shameless about it

Note: The KS polling is a win for Dems no matter what, because (as AP reported yesterday) the GOP is being forced to burn money in a state that hasn't had a Dem senator in nearly a century. A Hamilton win remains unlikely, historically speaking, but: this is WILD. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Polling results from Senate races the latest NY Times/Siena poll. Dems trial by a point in Iowa, but lead in Texas, Alaska, and Ohio. And most striking of all: Dems are tied with the GOP in Kansas.

very grim but the reflexive way that fox news is defending rape this week is both nearly identical to the kavanaugh period (can't trust her because she doesn't remember/she changed her mind) and proof that victim-blaming is the north star of state media even when the case is separate from government

The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day.

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.
