"But Her Emails" he cried softly

Complete with its own vine nursery in the Barossa, Yalumba-owner Hill-Smith Family Estates has all the resources to trial new grape varieties to combat climate change. The problem, says head of sustainability Louisa Rose, is the consumer. Eloise Feilden reports.

1. Russia has a slightly bigger stockpile than the U.S. 2. No one has tested nukes aboveground since 1980. 3. Since 1998 only N. Korea has tested nukes (underground). 4. Obama launched the renovation of the U.S. stockpile. It's not complete; timeline stretches into the 2040s ($ is headed for $2T).

I’m crying www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

This is very cool.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

ok but if he was actually a paper tiger Congress wouldn't be rolling over to show its belly and begging him to take their power and spank them with it. I think this is a new, third thing

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

It’s hard to argue with this premise: “The Federal government has ceased to function for the public good.”

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

🤣 also 😑 also 😨 also, can't tell if that's little Marco's new-usual sycophantic expression or he actually thinks this is the most idiotic hilarious thing he's ever heard.

Ronald Reagan would have never supported Donald Trump. And unlike all my cowardly former Republican colleagues who’ve told me PRIVATELY over the years they oppose Trump, Reagan would have PUBLICLY opposed Trump.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

I mean the question at this point is basically what happens when ACA premiums go through the roof and SNAP stops -at the exact same time.-

Mike Johnson has a humiliation kink and frankly it’s fucked up that he’s making us all participate in it without our consent.

So the blue states generate the most money for the US, but they penalized by their government. Blue states - put your heads together and come with a plan. It seems to me that, economically, you hold a lot of the power.

A British Classic

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

You know what day should be a national holiday in 2029? THE DAY OF THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLDOZING OF THE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BALLROOM.

*with my full chest* HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.

ok who did this? ☹️

Yeah.. no biggie… …. …. 🤬🤯😱🤮🤬

A more aggressive DOJ would have pushed the Trump matters to trial and conviction before the election, and it seems likely that some of them would have put Trump in prison, so Biden's meticulous adherence to the non-politicization of the DOJ ACTUALLY achieved the complete politicization of the DOJ.

"Eric Trump Says Curtis Sliwa Should Drop Out to Give Cuomo a Chance." When the Trump crime family is endorsing Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor it tells you all you need to know about Cuomo.

Having finally correlated my bad allergic reaction to wines with zero added SO2, I will never knowingly drink or even taste this shit again.

"No, destroying the White House is not as bad as blowing up boats carrying possibly innocent people. It’s not as bad as corrupting the Justice Department. It’s not as menacing as sending troops into American cities. And yet, this hurt is sharp." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mar-...

“Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter.”

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat Adelita Grijalva is bigger than just Epstein files. He’s laying groundwork to attempt to prevent winning Dems from taking office if House majority up for grabs in Nov 2026, as I told @briantylercohen.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSRY...

As a Hoosier Dem, this is... whatever polling they've seen must look apocalyptic. If Republicans in INDIANA are worried about their seats, we are looking at a biblical-level blue wave.

Hilarious. The GOP has 70 out of 100 state House seats and 40 out of 50 state Senate seats. Only a simple majority is needed to pass a bill in Indiana...

Shocked I tell you!

no kidding.

Fascinating.

I am a single issue voter and that issue is I want the Republican Party in federal prison.

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Who wore it better

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Chicago No Kings

Our new recurring feature covers key stories from the world of campaign finance and influence buying, from the AI industry to unprecedented levels of super PAC support for a lame-duck president. bit.ly/42wEcSM

History shows us what happens when corrupt Kings destroy palaces and temples to rebuild for their golden visions and it often ends in flames and looting and razing when they die, just speaking as an archaeologist here, nothing whatsoever to do with anything modern *clutches pearls*

Seriously. This. 45 years ago NYers understood this bastard was an asshole and liar when he destroyed the relief sculptures on the Bonwit Teller building instead of donating them to the Met as promised. Not much has changed. Still destroying buildings and art in addition to lives and livelihoods.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

There are no kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.
