This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.
LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61! That's the worst Trump has ever polled on inflation, & not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter!"

A president conditioning a $5,000 payment on his own party winning Congress is buying an election result out loud, on camera, and calling it a dividend to make it sound legitimate. Nobody gets to purchase your vote with your own tax dollars. #CorruptTrumpRegime

Opinion | Francesca Hong stirred up a movement
John Nichols: Hong's showing in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial primary doesn't show the limits of the "far left." It shows the potential of progressivism.

In another move that would cost the United States billions of dollars, the orange felon has ordered the Navy to dismantle their complex launch system for fighter jets from aircraft carriers and return to using steam catapults instead which Navy officials highly oppose. Another day more treason.

"Kim Jong-il was a legendary golfer who shot a 38-under-par round of 34 with up to 11 holes-in-one on the very first time he ever played." Too bad they never played against each other. It's not clear if Kim Jong-un plays golf.

Even the "People's Republic of Madison" can have extrajudicial killings by police officers. Is there really any effective "de-escalation" training and do many officers take it seriously? #Madison #Wisconsin

We are capitalist, not socialist” More than a dozen Congressional Democrats and other Dems running for office have signed a pledge to uphold centrist policies after the recent surge in progressive wins across the country. They are massively missing the point of what the voters are telling us.

Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.
