More precisely, Kash Patel was paid $25,000—and Rudy Giuliani $100,000—by a pro-Russia propagandist who led a project financially supported by Putin's office. To get the full story, see my new book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Go to HowRussiaWon.com.

Texas State Rep. Gina Hinojosa stands indoors wearing a burgundy blazer and dark top, with campaign signage bearing her name and the outline of Texas visible behind her.

Official letter dated September 29, 2026, from Texas State Rep. Gina Hinojosa to Gov.

A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

this is exactly the way these conversations need to be had: connecting the violent language they throw around casually and think is meaningless because it's just for lolz so they aren't actually a bad person, with the violence against real human women that it normalizes

I always wish we would make more time for those conversations. Most students agreed they shouldn't use that language. Most said that they would intervene if they saw something. But few would be willing to teach peers, to have hard conversations or challenge them. We need more bravery from men.

Most would still chuckle. Then I'd ask if they'd be willing to use those terms about their loved ones. Awkward silence. Then we'd go through the data on how many men committed violent acts. And they would get looks of panic that they might be implicated.

When I taught at an all-boys prep school, we'd do an activity where I had them list every sexual term they could think of. They'd often laugh, as many were absurd things meant for Urban Dictionary. We'd then go through how many terms were violent (~85%) and how many were male-dominant (~90%).

Bro, the Pope sent the White Sox letter, they’re going to the World Series.

Letter:

To Jerry Reinsdorf
Chairman of the Chicago White Sox
was pleased to receive the kind letter that you sent following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February
2026).
In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster
bonds of friendship
and solidarity among
people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Pope Leo XIV

It ends w/ Belafonte consoling Fozzie & a performance of "Turn The World Around". The message, & its resonance, remains undiminished... “Do you know who I am Do I know who you are See we one another clearly Do we know who we are” Belafonte would later perform this song at Jim Henson’s funeral.

NBC News did a story on baseball's desire for a salary cap. Sorry this is behind a paywall. I am quoted in here, though, noting that payroll doesn't really explain wins in baseball. It really never has. A salary cap is just a way to limit player pay. www.nbcnews.com/sports/baseb...

nbcnews.com

MLB wants a salary cap for competitive balance. Does the playoff field already have it?

Major League Baseball believes a salary cap is essential for the sport’s future. But a few small-market teams have already crashed the 2026 postseason.

The vast majority of child maltreatment cases are related to neglect, and the vast majority of neglect cases are related to poverty. The family policing system is just another tool for the state to exert its power—it was never intended to protect children.
