On Tuesday, the Trump Admin announced they were ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program. Touching the third rail of politics is a heckuva strategy going into midterms (part D open enrollment starts 10/15). My latest analysis for @msnowreports.bsky.social. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Opinion | Trump’s Medicare change comes at a curious time

Less than three weeks before the midterm elections, America’s most reliable voting bloc will receive notice of higher healthcare costs.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

I can recall a time before LMSs (yes, dinosaur) when each professor built their own websites. Now, dozens of professors are headed back to them (Wordpress or elsewhere), to upload their slide decks, notes, and study materials b/c their unis have nonfunctioning LMSs. Would you consider staying there?

When someone recognizes that wealth is luck, they have such better perspective. So grateful people like Wilson exist. Also because she also deserves major credit, @ziibiing.com and standwithminnesota.com are also in the article and her foundational role in all this can’t be overstated.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Trump deported a VETERAN. You heard that right. ICE & CBP are out of control–exiling the very men who fought for our freedom and risked their lives for our country.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

We’re up to at least 97 cases in which district courts have blocked Trump policies—from 73 different judges (appointed by seven different presidents) in 25 different district courts across 10 circuits. Today’s “One First” looks at what critics of these rulings are leaving out of their narratives:

155. What District Court Critics Aren't Telling You

The increasingly loud claim that district courts are abusing their powers by blocking Trump administration policies depends upon a series of indefensibly selective (and easily rebutted) arguments.
