Every election cycle I get angrier and angrier about this www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/u...
Bar chart titled "The breathtaking cost of the midterms: $10 billion and counting on ads" showing $9 billion in '19-'20 and in '21-'22, $11.2 billion in '23-'24, and $10 billion already spent this cycle with a projected $11.6 billion totalThat $10 billion, by way of comparison, is more than the amount of ticket sales at the North American domestic box office last year, more than the amount grossed by the top 100 concert tours combined last year and more than the total amount of advertising booked during the 2025-2026 N.F.L. season.

This story has been updated with a comment from one of the grantees that might make you go... huh? Dr. Marguerite Duane has links to the Heritage Foundation and one of the anti-abortion doctor groups that kicked off legal battles over mifepristone.
In response to questions about the award, and critiques of restorative reproductive medicine from ACOG and ASRM, Duane asked that the following statement be printed in its entirety:

“When we identify, diagnose, and treat the root causes of reproductive and hormonal health issues, we can help women and men be healthier and have more babies. Over three years, among all patients in my practice who presented with infertility or miscarriage, 87 percent conceived and 80 percent went on to have a live birth. This approach is supported by ACOG, which in December 2015 published Committee Opinion No. 651, recommending that clinicians use the menstrual cycle as a vital sign for girls and adolescents.”

Duane did not answer follow-up questions about how many patients are reflected in her practice statistics, or how ACOG’s guidance on adolescents is related to the infertility training center.

If Democrats take power, they need to be very vocal and open about the legislative landmines Republicans set for them in 2027. Be transparent af. Name names and place blame where it belongs.

Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick lied to Congress about his ties to Epstein. Here’s an email where Lutnick arranges dinner w/Epstein on his private island; offers ages of his and friends’ kids. Lutnick ALSO knew about 9/11 ahead of time; fabricated an excuse to miss work in the North Tower on the day.

My thinking on this is that Democrats have a role to play in actually chastening Republicans by ensuring they finally face consequences for their blatant corruption and lawlessness. They dragged their feet in 2021-22 and can't repeat that mistake.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

This is another reason he’s by far the worst ever. No matter what the crisis is faced by any given President or how disastrously they reacted, Trump would have handled it 100 times worse. Ironclad rule of Trump.

We need to report more figures in daily life as percentages of net worth rather than raw numbers. We should also levy fines the same way. A $250 speeding ticket may be fully 2.5% of a poor person's net worth. It would also be equivalent to fining Elon Musk $2.5 billion.
