GIFT: It will take a building this large to become the Library of Corruption housing the millions of legal documents generated by the prosecution of the trump mafioso, once known as the GOP. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/o...

Not one single word about the extraordinary amounts of air & water pollution that destroy life. Was this article sponsored by the cruise industry? It is unconscionable even for an art historian to neglect the climate implications of architecture. #Portland #Maine #cruiseships

I wrote about this for @opinion.bloomberg.com. A key point: Cloud seeding can only enhance whatever moisture is already there. UAE officials say that it can increase rainfall rates by about 10-30% a year. So even if it played a role, a huge amount of rain was due to fall anyway

Do you know that active military (and I assume National Guard) are not paid during the shutdown? Unlike the bailout of Argentina to help a billionaire investor friend or the gold baubles in the new White House ballroom. Which of these do you think is essential? wapo.st/3KvdeEZ

Mike Johnson: "Many of you asked me this morning about sombreros and memes and why Hakeem Jeffries is all alarmed by that. Look, these are games, these are sideshows, people are getting caught up in battles over social media memes ... to my friend Hakeem, man, just ignore it."

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

hats going for $50 each via the official trump store, being advertised with the caption "the future looks bright! rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat"

But if you joke about Trump or say something we don't like about Charlie Kirk it's curtains for you. We don't make the rules. Oh wait, we do.

i assure you, the joker takes no pleasure in flooding gotham with joker gas, he has to ensure the gang places all of these tanks in the right places to poison all of gotham

"Except for polls we like. Those are accurate."

Jeffries: "Trump and the Republicans spent all year last year promising they were gonna lower the high cost of living. They also spent all of last year running away from Project 2025 ... now all of the sudden, Donald Trump admits it was his project all along. He just did it earlier today."

Mike Johnson: "Schumer led the Democrats in the Senate to hand that pen to Russ Vought. And I think there could be some good that comes out of it if we limit the size and scope of government, but it is not a job he relishes. He's being forced in that position."

Tenney: "Everything the Democrats say the Republicans are they're projecting. They're authoritarians -- that's what communism and socialism leads to -- and if you disagree with them, they silence you."

The WH is only 55K sq ft. 😭 "Adding insult to injury, $22 million of the payoff will go to the Trust for the National Mall, with the direction that it be spent to build the 90,000 square foot monstrosity Trump plans to construct in the White House’s East Wing." 🧾 www.publicnotice.co/p/google-set...

Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump is in the presidential witness protection program. No one can find him."

MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

Burgum: "China doesn't shut down their government ... they're charging ahead seven days a week, 365 days a year."

This isn't the first time authoritarians have plotted against America. The First Red Scare reminds us of the damage bigotry and xenophobia can do when unleashed by those with a thirst for power, and of the value of standing up for others in the face of such nihilsm, as I discuss here.

When you're getting fact-checked by Fox.

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states? CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? (That's not a no!)

If anyone can give farmers access to international markets its the guy who closed off access to international markets

The politics of full service to the fossil fuels industry, and spreading its malicious propaganda, on full display.

FOX NEWS: What about people who are not on Medicaid, they're on the ACA or worried they're going to lose their employer-sponsored health insurance? MIKE JOHNSON: The answer is not to grow government and further subsidize insurance companies

Solidly in the FO of the FA

Let's review the numbers. The economy they inherited from Biden had created 16 million jobs. Trump has yet to prove he can create jobs, no matter how Chavez-DeRemer tries to spin the narrative.

Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

Trump: "An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at 6 P.M., D.C. time. Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER."

New in PN: Lessons from a Red Scare "As Emma Goldman hoped, and Louis Post later demonstrated, the American people are capable of turning the tide against repression — even if that effort feels hopeless in the moment."

Chiles v. Salazar, which the Supreme Court will hear on October 7, involves one of the bitterest cultural disputes in US politics: whether the rights of conservative Christians trump the rights and interests of LGBTQ Americans.

Our current predicament is not unprecedented. We can learn from how past societies survived through, and ended, their crisis periods.

The number of kids getting hurt by AI-powered chatbots is unknown, but it’s not zero. Yet, for nearly three years, ChatGPT has been free for all ages without any guardrails. That sort of changed on Monday, when OpenAI introduced a suite of parental controls. But are they enough to keep kids safe?
