Trump’s October surprise? His own desperation. All those campaign rallies, all that effort, all that hype, only to end up with a half empty stadium.

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

Trump and Elon Musk gutted the IRS so it couldn't audit and investigate wealthy tax cheats. In the process, it kneecapped IRS customer service, and now everyday taxpayers—the ones who aren't cheating—are deal with the infuriating fallout, as my colleague @smencimer.bsky.social reports.

The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

This meme is actually based on a real scientific finding. Researchers studying howler monkeys found that males with larger vocal organs producing deeper, more powerful calls tended to have smaller testes, while species with larger testes tended to have less-developed vocal organs. So, there ya go.

Not every vote is in (the outlined counties don't have >95% counted, and Maverick hasn't reported at all), but this shows the swing between Harris' margin in '24 and the Dem margin in yesterday's primary turnout. You can see in south Texas the shifts were >100%.

It’s the Canadian elections tomorrow! And no election night is wasted with me, so I’m looking forward to following. (And hope you’ll follow along.) Some polls out east will close starting at 6:30pm ET (8:30 local time), but bulk of poll closures will be much later, after 930pm ET.
