GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

There's a pretty direct line between "When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything" and this kind of MNF banter. The rot is everywhere in our society but it's a lot worse in some places than others. (screenshot from sports.yahoo.com/articles/al-...)

Then, Michaels cited the familiar football phrase that "winning is the best deodorant," before Herbstreit predicted that Browns fans would eventually embrace Watson after previously booing him in the preseason.

"You want the fans to get behind you, and that goes for pretty much any market," Herbstreit said. "This is an extreme case because of what you laid out with Deshaun Watson, but if you convert on third downs, you hit passes, you lead this team to victories, those boos turn into cheers."

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

AG Rayfield permanently blocks Trump’s SNAP penalties

Today, a federal judge permanently blocked the Trump administration from penalizing states, including Oregon, with steep fines tied to their administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The judge also struck down the administration’s attempts to restrict food access for lawful permanent residents.

“Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, we’ve all watched his administration play games with emergency food assistance,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “This is about parents’ ability to feed their kids, and partisan politics shouldn’t have any part in it. The court’s ruling means that Oregon will continue to effectively manage the SNAP program, and our vulnerable neighbors will get the food they need.”
