But AI is OK for war targeting, according to Trump and Hegseth.

This has become so routine that we're desensitized to it. Which is the point. And no doubt is being exploited--because how do we know it's jackbooted Federal thugs and not civilian criminal thugs doing kidnappings these days?

Wage growth just keeps slowing. And yes, wages are rising slower than prices, and no, that's not how economic growth is meant to work.
Line chart titled "Nominal wage growth is slowing" showing year-over-year growth in average hourly earnings of private-sector workers. Wage growth has declined steadily from a peak of 5.9% in early 2022 to 3.0% in September 2026, the slowest rate in the series. This nearly 3 percentage point drop over four and a half years indicates significantly cooler labor market conditions, with the deceleration accelerating in recent months as growth fell from the 3.7-3.9% range in 2025 to the low 3% range currently.

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

Ahhh...here's one of the big reasons folks are pointing to behind the Senator from the State of Misery and his towering gaffe today. It was billed to Axios as The Great Gotcha™️ to boost his VP credit, apparently. 😹 www.axios.com/2026/09/29/e...
