Drawing of the Day: Backpack wins Fat Bear Week. Jack Smith likes women’s basketball confusing GOP Senator Schmitt US starts $1 Billion more in tariffs on Canadian booze, milk, and motorcycles. Conservatives on the Supreme Court will allow deportations to countries where people have no ties

Tuesday September 29, 2026

Backpack wins Fat Bear Week.
As a cub Backpack climbed on his mom’s back as she swam in the river, inspiring his name. Unlike many bears he's not generally aggressive.

In senate hearing of Jack Smith, former special prosecutor, the GOP called him a dirtbag and villian while trying to accuse him of purjury. Smith had gone to a women’s basketball game, and sen Schmitt thought he’d been at an NBA game and lied.
Schmitt continued to confuse himself.

US starts another $1 Billion in tariffs on Canadian booze, milk, and motorcycles.

Conservatives on the Supreme Court will allow deportations to countries where people have no ties, as the case is waiting to be heard later this year.

Drawing of the Day… While free press is under attack Trump dozes off and lets tax payer funded ads keep him on TV. Meanwhile his administration is repealing TitleX protections for LGBT students and victims of sexual assault. A gang rape at Cornell is showing how much rape culture is protected

Monday September 28, 2026

AS CNN, MSNOW, and Politico fight in court to get access to the White House Pool Coverage, Trump dozed off in a press conference while announcing a steel plant to be built in Iowa.
TV ads may still show him as he used $1.5 million of taxpayer money for broadcast ads

His administration meanwhile repealed Biden Title X protections for LGBT students and for students assaulted at school events even if the event was hosted off campus.

That rule was the result of a 3 year process and 240,000 public comments.

In other sexual assault news, a 2024 gang rape at Cornell is coming to light as the victim filed a lawsuit against the university that included a photo of a group text where fraternity brothers invited each other to join the rape. Under Trump’s new Title X interpretation the assault at the fraternity wouldn’t be the university’s responsibility.

Russia bombed Kyiv’s National Academy of Sciences in an attack that was part of a daytime attack that 7 were killed in.

Drawing of the Day: The UK arrested 5 men on suspicion of terrorism charges as they approached the base in the UK that the US uses for large bombers including the ones used to bomb Iran. 7 Cornell fraternity brothers gang raped a drugged woman, and the school gave them an essay assignment

Sunday september 27, 2026

5 Men Arrested for Suspicion of Terrorism on route to the UK air force base that the US operates out of. R.A.F. Fairford is used for the US's largest bombers and is home to 501st combat Support Wing Headquarters and the 420th Air Base Squadron. The base was opened in 1944 to be used for D day, and is one of the only airfields that US bombers can use in Europe, and has been used to launch planes striking Iran. A bomb disposal unit was active on the scene for hours after arrests.

7 fraternity brothers raped a fellow Cornell student white she was drugged, and the university assigned them essays instead of real consequences, causing outrage.

Saturday September 26,2026

Nor'easter brings heavy wind, rain and costal flooding with thousands losing power in New Jersey. Flights were cancelled and events like Ed Sheeran’s controversial tour were cancelled. The Storm is expected to continue into Sunday before it is anticipated to clear up. For many flooded streets brought back memories of Hurricane Sandy, though presently only one death has been reported.

Pope Leo XIV spoke to hundreds of thousands in Paris in an open air mass after seeing crowds along the Champs Elysees. The Vatican estimated 800,000 attended the mass

White House continues to ban CNN but the rest of the networks are set to resume coverage tomorrow after a week of no video pool coverage.

Drawing of the Day: It’s Dolly Parton Day How did Nolan Wells Die? Authorities initially said he drowned, but there was no water in his stomach, lungs, or throat. Supreme Court again rejects Trump's Missouri gerrymandered maps Trump is canceling $1 Billion in spending authorized by congress

Friday September 25, 2026
9-25 California celebrates Dolly Parton Day in a nod to her song 9 to 5. People are encouraged to enjoy her music, give to Imagination Library, and be a bit kinder.

How did Nolan Wells Die?
Days after a grand jury said there was no criminal conduct in the 18-year-old Black college student’s death, attorneys call for the investigation materials to be released . While authorities initially said he drowned, there was no water in his stomach, lungs, or throat.

Supreme Court again rejects Trump's Missouri gerrymandered maps pointing out the election has already started with ballots printed and mailed already, especially impacting military service members and overseas voters.

Trump is canceling $1 Billion in spending authorized by Congress for immigrant services including healthcare, while the House is in recess. This is part of a pattern of
siezing congress's power to budget.

Being really enthusiastic about new technology and our scientific and technology industries was the USA’s brand for what, the entire 20th century? And seems like over the course of about 20 years, big tech and our abject failure to meaningfully regulate it has pretty successfully lit that on fire.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Sen. Susan Collins • fAl
劉
@SenatorCollins
X.com
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.

Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
