Trump has decided that no jobs report will issue on Friday due to the government shutdown. But it turns out there is a different reason: that report will, when issued, be catastrophically bad.

The Dickinson, Moore, Mikheyev line had a rough night.

Fever showed a lot of heart.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

IDK if it matters if the govt shut down but an anonymous tiktok user has been threatening to release Mike Johnson's alleged Grindr profile with receipts if he doesn't swear in Adelita Grijalva and what is this timeline

With 5-3 victory at shambolic Inter Miami, Chicago Fire ends an eight-year MLS playoff drought — and leaves the befuddled D.C. United organization with the longest rut in the league (six years).

Really nice goal by Dach, power move to the net.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Thrilled to learn that the Red Wings have a player named Amadeus Lombardi

Yikes Murphy

Love this from this @chicagotribune.com story: “This isn’t a ‘study,’ it’s purchased propaganda.” That's from Kennesaw State University Professor J.C. Bradbury who says “it does not use established economic methods for analyzing economic outcomes" and calls the report "a fantasy document.”

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

SCOOP/UPDATE — The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) instructed *all* federal agencies to send out the shutdown email with NO modifications permitted, a federal source confirmed. Leadership received these orders via email at 1:30pm ET and then reinforced on a 3pm intra-agency call.

Now this is baseball

Fuck this noise. I just want to sleep through the night without repeatedly waking up a sweaty mess. It's October.

lol Soldier Field seats 62,500

Not to alarm anyone, but the Hawks no longer have Korchinski on the roster page. Probably just a clerical error or something, but I was looking to see who's still left and noticed only 8 defensemen. www.nhl.com/blackhawks/r...

portland update: this just crossed the street in front of me holding a bright yellow sign that said WELCOME TO HELL

You got married at a football game? yeah Did they win? no Did you win? no

Powering through the week by thinking about the post-game press conference of whoever loses the UNC-Clemson game on Saturday

Let's preview how the discourse around "political violence" is going to be exploited going forward. When lawless thugs brutalize the citizenry of Blue cities on Trump's orders, that will be "law enforcement." If citizens do anything to resist, that will be "political violence."

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.

My gut has been that the defensive line will end up something like Foligno-Dickinson-Dach, but it does feel like the entire bottom six is being auditioned for that role with this lineup. I'm kind of interested to see which of the two lines has a better fancy stat night.

No Reichel, Lafferty on F lines, Korchinski and Allan for D. LET THE SPECULATION COMMENCE

#mnwild and superstar Kirill Kaprizov have agreed to an #NHL record contract: 8 years x $17 million = $136 million. It's a record in both AAV and total dollars. First to report: /KevinWeekes.

I'm kind of surprised that the NFL hasn't looked at all of the money going into college football and thought that a lot of that money would go to them instead if they created a minor league system that cannibalized college football's best players.

Damn, they're closing the Lake Street bridge until 2028. That's a long time. chicago.suntimes.com/chicago/2025...

I'd love to see Montreal reignite that blood feud from when they were offer sheeting each other's RFAs, put in a claim for Brind'Amour.

Great time to be a fentanyl dealer because all the guys who are supposed to investigate and prosecute you are going after doordash drivers and moms instead

We need a Teen Vogue --> Hallmark writers room pipeline.

Rahm's 2028 base is reporters who can monetize rage clicks from liberals. This is going to occur to a lot of them sometime in 2027, there will be a lot of new blue sky accounts then.

These Kavanaugh Stops keep seeming to be a lot more invasive than Kavanaugh tried to pretend they would be. The extent to which Justices just make up facts, history, psychology, etc etc etc to get the outcomes they want, and the legal community as a whole just shrugs is … legit appalling.

A leading Democrat in the Senate just released an important report documenting how NASA has been working to implement the president's proposed budget, not Congressionally approved funds, in slashing missions. Read more ⬇️

My tolerance for terrible garbage is that I'm more likely to read your bullshit than to listen to it. And I'm definitely not going to sit through this ad to wait for it.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

once again, if you straightforwardly explain how LBOs work to any normal person, they think you must by lying

Late in the 2nd period of last night's game they swapped Lardis and Foligno. At that point Lardis got moved to the line with Spellacy and Savoie. You could say Lardis got assigned to Rockford with about 2 minutes left in the 2nd last night.

They really should make him the host of "This Week" to officially discredit the Sunday political shows once and for all, just getting lapped by some complete moron like Marsha Blackburn while he accidentally compares elimination of voting rights to Dak Prescott's pocket presence

Fleury coming back on a PTO for one final period over the weekend was just great. The Athletic article on it was a wholesome read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

ICE is about to be investigated by the same people they're trying to recruit with TV ads.

In the first two preseason games there were more guys I didn't like than guys I did. In tonight's game, there wasn't anyone I didn't like. It's preseason, and not full rosters, but that was a good effort top to bottom.

I collect pictures of dogs who look like they’re being interviewed on the news

Nazar, hat trick, contract officially a steal.
