The thing about Gillis's monologue isn't just that it's misogynistic; it's that it's misogynistic in the most unoriginal, dated, cringe-ily 1982 would-be Andrew Dice Clay way. Like, wow slut shaming women in workout clothes, where'd you dig that fossil up

From the Filipkowski Weekend Update: NYT reported last week about an even more brazen Russian offering: a multibillion-dollar oil deal for assets owned by Russia’s Lukoil, which would directly benefit a Trump donor and 2 Middle Eastern groups that have done business with Kushner or Witkoff’s family

1/ Russian sources expect that as well as purchasing Russian oil and diesel, Donald Trump will provide Russia with spare parts to repair the refineries damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. They anticipate that Trump's fuel deal will lead to a Russian victory. ⬇️

The FDA just announced they won’t release their “safety review” of abortion pills until March of next year. In other words: They’re stalling until after the midterms.

FDA says it will complete safety review of abortion pill in March
A federal judge in Louisiana ordered the FDA to provide an update on its safety study as part of a lawsuit seeking to overturn a provision allowing mifepristone to be delivered by mail.

Aside from the stupidity of this, it's playing into something real, which is that conservatives believe it's some kind of personal affront to their very existence when someone chooses not to eat meat.

Jeez. The court may have stopped some third-country removals at the last second yesterday, but ICE recalibrated quickly. Sept. 24 saw the most ICE flights+removals in the months I've been keeping a daily log. --at least 90 flights --at least 18 removals, including Haiti --plus a stop at Gitmo

For the next year, we can expect to see precipitation and other weather extremes unlike anything we’ve seen before. Why? When the oceans are warmer, thanks to climate change and the developing El Niño, they release vast amounts of moisture into the atmosphere, which act as extra fuel for any storm.
