Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Hum. I'm feeling pretty good about my choices! 😂

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Yes. That's literally what the EMTALA Act, signed into law by REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN, mandates, Karoline. Because I'm pretty sure being a good Christian means you don't let people to bleed to death in a hospital lobby due to their immigration status. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergen...

This is absolutely right on every point and everyone who sits on a governing board or serves as president or provost or similar should please make the time to read it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

Please find your elections and get folks to turn out.

I just supported @ww2.kqed.org.web.brid.gy and @npr.org to the tune of a few lattes per month. You can support your local station and NPR now, too - now more than ever, we need trusted sources of news and information outside corporate control and right-wing influence

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

🥰

As promised!

I asked Google's AI chat-bot a question. I commend it for its honesty and forthrightness:

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Because of course. It's all a grift.

Listen to Pete.

Jason Crow, on how Trump and his family are "cashing in at our expense" youtu.be/d1qXWxsBNB4?...

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

I am standing here in the midst of (waves hands) All This and I am eating the most delicious damn Palisades peach I have ever put in my mouth. 🍑

A reminder: Alt-med autism "treatments" are BS. "A huge analysis of 19 alternative/complementary/integrative medicine (CAIM) interventions [for autism] shows that not a single one of them offers a notable benefit." In the current TPGA newsletter by @ejwillingham.bsky.social—which you should share.

Trump (or someone with access to his phone) just posted: NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE. I'm a behaviorist who has keenly observed him for years, and that clinches it for me. He's seriously ill, likely dying.

I wasn’t super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this

😆

Wow
