Dennis and I did a joint radio interview with Robert Bourassa. The former premier, who was off-the-charts smart, danced around my questions without breaking a sweat. Dennis knew how to handle him. He went right at him with that dulcet baritone. It was a lesson in interviewing I'll never forget.

There it is

Question: what would the consequences be for red states if California and Illinois withdrew from the Governors Association?

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

@soxonthebrain.bsky.social @sonofkaras.bsky.social Thanks for selecting/hosting😊. Excellent episode with a fine cast👍 #cinemon

@hollyeh13.bsky.social @sonofkaras.bsky.social I didn't understand "Black Narcissus" when I first saw it as a child. But its darkness truly upset me. Its depiction of a descent into madness is truly haunting. Many think it is a masterpiece. Here it is - #cinemon www.youtube.com/watch?v=16IZ...

@soxonthebrain.bsky.social Gordon Jackson is very well known. Had long career in movies/tv,in Ehgland & in Hollywood.

This.

I miss the quiet mornings. No rage tweets. No chaos. Just a president who believed in government as something that could help.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

he never gets consent, it’s kind of his hallmark

It's amazing how quickly we glossed over how Donald Trump is trying to make himself the President of Gaza.

THIS. 🎯

Barbie Anderson is trying to conserve the milk her three young children drink in case she doesn’t get her WIC benefits on October 15 as scheduled.

To say the least... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They must be afraid she’ll screw things up, unlike a man 😏

I wonder how MAGA would feel if Oregon's National Guard sent several hundred troops to police the streets of Tallahassee, FL

WTF ‼️‼️‼️‼️ THIS is the judge who would not release South Carolina voting records to the DOJ.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

It’s their neighbors fault.

Incursions appear to be aimed specifically at some of the countries that are most helpful to Ukraine. Vladimir Putin does not need to frighten politicians or generals with his grey-zone manoeuvres--just ordinary people

"And hey! If you're out there, you don't want to lose the weight, you don't want to follow the rules, hey, no problem! You know who's gonna want your sick, twisted, fat ass? ICE!!" www.mediaite.com/media/entert...

Some Personal Weather Stations on Weather Underground provide decent climate data.

@jacktodd.bsky.social Leafs blow a two goal lead with 4 minutes left in the 3rd and lose to Detroit 6-5 in OT. Methinks I've heard this song before...😀

Just read a pretty terrifying text from my niece in Chicago. ICE snipers firing rubber bullets from rooftops at protestors, neighbors trying to bar an ICE raid on an elementary school. Last thing my niece said was "get me out of here." Trump trying to start a civil war.

Miller will need a full and unconditional pardon when Trump goes, and If you need a full and unconditional pardon, maybe, just maybe, you weren’t serving the people

When Trump dies and is buried I hope his epithet reads, "Here Lies Donald Trump For The Very Last Time."

Here's a great video from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew who is the first indigenous Premier dancing in his jingle dancer regalia for a every child matters gathering for Truth and reconciliation day 🧡 so powerful #EveryChildMatters

My column as we look forward to the most anticipated season in decades.

80% (!) of the ACA subsidies that are about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024. Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.

@dunemythang.bsky.social Hundreds of millions of us,when Trump dies...

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

all the right people are mad about this (gift link)

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

New data shows widespread erosion in vaccination coverage in over 75% of U.S. counties, leaving many without immunity from outbreaks.

Told you we should have shut him down on this crap in the first administration. He held up covid relief checks so his name would be featured as the signature. Also food distribution carried his “message”. But we just kept feeding the monster. Thanks for *again* exposing his corruption Mr. Raskin.

Yes President Trump was slurring and exhibiting disordered thinking in his appearance before the generals. But at least he didn’t have a hoarse voice like Biden in the first debate.

The lead U.S. agency for protecting the electric grid, water supply and other critical services from hacking has furloughed most of its already trimmed-down staff in the government shutdown.

Mike Johnson agrees that Trump is “unhinged” and “unwell”

@dunemythang.bsky.social TCM has Michener's "Hawaii",at 12:45 AM PT.Epic,powerful,deeply moving telling of disastrous attempt of Christian missionaries to convert indigenous Hawaiians to Christianity.

@dunemythang.bsky.social"Sound of Music" is too "cute" at times.But nothing saccharine about this moment.Von Trapp knowing Rolfe is no killer,says exactly the wrong thing-"You'll never be one of them."Wounding young man's pride.Maybe sending him into Nazis' grip forever.Such a truly tragic moment..

Word is that Demidov is alright after that cheap shot slash from Cousins.
