Just like Iraq and WMD, Iran showed no indication that they violated the JCPOA at any time over a decade. Surely, Iran did other things outside the scope of that agreement, but nothing that involved their nuclear program. The US did all the fabricating, and all the lying to take us to war.

Ketamine has been in colleges and high schools for over a decade. Ludicrous to believe this is isolated to Cornell or the Ivies. Every responsible women's organization has guidlines warning students about knowing where their party drinks come from. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/n...

Age is not a singular disqualifier in a primary, especially if the challenger is not aligned on policy. Some Moulton positions were at odds with Mass Dems, and young challengers need to read their constituencies exactly right if the want to unseat an incumbent. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Forget the polls. The only polls that count are the elections themselves. Show up and vote, early if possible. If you vote by mail, track your ballot. Don't forget the state and local elections. Down ballot races are just as important. We need everyone out there. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

Democrats Lead Governor Races Deep in Republican Territory, Polls Show
Democratic advantages in the races for governor in Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Alaska reflect deep unhappiness with President Trump and the economy. A Republican leads in Kansas.

Are we really falling for this ploy again? O&G companies have been making exorbitant profits for months because their oil costs per barrel are almost all internal and much lower than the spot prices quoted each day. A temporary price cut through Nov, say, is just an investment for them. Expect it.

If you vote by mail, do so as soon as you receive your ballot. Don't wait. The longer you wait, the more risk you take of the USPS not delivering your ballot. Also, track your ballot until your county confirms receipt. Make sure your vote counts!

Trust but verify. If you vote by mail, track your ballot and confirm receipt by your county. If it somehow disappears, you can cast a provisional ballot on election day, citing the suspected loss of your mailed ballot.

There is a lot of sex going on in our colleges and universities, and in our high schools. Most of it consensual and it's not going to stop. Neither Congress nor the administration is going to touch this topic until after 2028. That's the baseline we need to contend with. There are no easy answers.

It starts in the high schools, continues with sports teams and boys' clubs and ends up in the Epstein files. This incident is one of thousands, but accountability has to start somewhere. No sexual perpetrator should ever be allowed to stay anonymous.

Somehow, American justice needs to provide a "second opinion" and confirmation from a rape center or similar advocacy group before any sexual assault accusations are dismissed or abandoned. A single judgement call, usually by a male DA or such, is not a just process. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/n...

You won't have the votes to pass universal health care until at least 2029. So we just let people go without until then? Healthcare for all is an endpoint we all want, but it won't happen if we flip just a few dozen House and Senate seats. Vote first! And then work with whatever we end up with.
