On #NationalFarmersDay, I’d like to say thank you to the hardworking KY farmers who keep our communities fed and our economy strong. I’ll continue fighting to lift the unfair tariffs hurting their livelihoods and to invest in local agriculture so we can keep KY growing strong. #PeopleOverPolitics

🇪🇸Hispanic Day (Día de la Hispanidad) is an annual national public holiday in Spain October 12 commemorating when Christopher Columbus first stepped into the Americas in 1492. The king of Spain oversees raising of Spanish national flag in Madrid's center. Prime minister & king lead a military parade.

This chilling movie will forever be the first one I think of when Diane Keaton is mentioned. Tuesday Weld (who is 82 today) and Richard Gere. Saw it in the movie theater. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cikA...

Heathens “reached down & saw my passport... had my full name, David Rashi Kremen Adler, and asked if I was Jewish. I said I was Jewish. They ripped me by the ear and forced me to bend down & stare at the flag of the state of Israel” "handcuffed w/ cable ties... tightly behind our backs... paraded"

Diane Keaton, who starred in Annie Hall, The Godfather, and many other movies, has died at 79

"This isn’t streamlining the government—it’s dismantling our ability to detect & respond to outbreaks before they spread... can’t cut your way to safety.” "not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight... health data is no longer secure" www.commondreams.org/news/cdc-mas...

"Frank Bisignano, who is far from competent at running his own agency, to also serve as 'CEO' of the IRS, a nonexistent position" "leaks from the administration that age will no longer be taken into account in determining whether someone is eligible for disability" prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Rode to Cincinnati with friends to seen Led Zeppelin live in concert as a kid. They performed Gallows Pole. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i3P...

"Trump & the Republican majority do not need the Democrats to reopen the government." "no reason to believe that Trump cares about... reopening the government." Democrats "performed better than any opposition party in the history of shutdown showdowns." washingtonmonthly.com/2025/10/10/c...

This is Soviet Union Stalin 1955 level lying. Inventing a terrorist organization that doesn't exist and then accusing local police and leaders of lying because they don't know what you're even talking about all to justify sending military troops into American cities. This is straight up treason.

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.

They shut down the govt. We've gotta shut down the country.

Time for America to get serious & plan general strikes, boycotts, & millions on top of millions of people PEACEFULLY in the streets to confront The Dictator’s madness. Got to step it up.

National strike and don’t pay federal taxes to the government but pay them to your state. Trump shouldn’t get our taxpayer money that he ( and not Congress) decides how to spend

"unlikely that any prosecution against Trump could move forward while he is the sitting president... 14 other people still facing charges in the case... Mark Meadows and... Rudy Giuliani. If a new prosecutor is named, that person could continue on the track that Willis had charted"

DESTROYING INNOCENT LIVES FOLLOWING THE LAW “'it’s just part of the new mass carceral agenda of the new administration,'” a lawyer for Carlos Roberto De Andrade said of his arrest." "in custody since Aug. 22... arrested him as he reported for a routine check-in" www.boston.com/news/local-n...

AMEN! "Why are there almost no elected officials turning this into a major public issue?" "Forcefully standing up for the rights of US citizens is the bare minimum we should expect from even the most craven elected officials at the national level." jacobin.com/2025/10/ice-...

"Perry said National Guard troops are 'not trained in de-escalation or other extremely important law enforcement functions that would help to quell these problems,' and that allowing troops to come into Chicago 'will only add fuel to the fire that the defendants themselves have started.'"

Should be common sense. "Ellis also specifically blocked officers from firing munitions that 'strike the head, neck, groin, spine, or female breast, or striking any person w/ a vehicle...'pulling or shoving a person to the ground, tackling, or body slamming' demonstrators who aren’t harming others"

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

I think this may be a big part of hiding the files. Magas are fine with abuse of female children, but males, now that's crossing a line.

Michigan Avenue right now.

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Civil war is only supported by a small minority. Oct. 2025 PBS News/NPR/Marist poll: 30% of Americans say political violence might be necessary to "get the country back on track" --up from 19% in April 2024. Greatest risk to the U.S. is small-scale political violence by lone actors & small groups.

Trump's transparent goal is spreading fear. "Cruelty, including a lust for vengeance, largely defines... Trump’s character." "on the day one too many Americans have given in to their fears and withdrawn from the defense of democracy, the cause is lost." www.commondreams.org/opinion/decl...

"These are the kinds of oddities one expects in a contemporary art setting right now, at a time when a new surrealism has fully taken hold" "the show’s strangest work... a gargantuan block of quartz diorite... carved into the shape of a scarab... to represent Khepri" www.artnews.com/art-news/rev...

Mystifying that AD Mitch Barnhart still has a job. Strange season schedule: last home football game September 13, next home game October 18. In nearly 20 years of tailgating w/ old high school/college buddies, I never recall a five-week span between home games. www.aseaofblue.com/kentucky-wil...

Does he use the words and phrases in that birthday letter to his pal Jeffrey? You decide.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

This New Wave hit was all over the place in 1982. The band redid the song in 1989, and it was a hit again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R6W...

"Weiss departed the New York Times...writing...publication had become too left-wing" Do these folks ever look in the mirror? "In 2024, Weiss claimed that the 'political left… makes war on our common history, our common identity as Americans, &fundamentally, on the goodness of the American project'"

Three of the people I've known the longest died in March, May, and September 2025. Curiously, they all died on a Monday.

"A federal judge ordered officials to remove guards and restraints, saying the government failed to prove he violated any law or posed a flight risk. Marin was under 24/7 surveillance, couldn’t speak privately with doctors or lawyers, and was interrogated while medicated and in pain."
