Remember this the next time you read another idiotic piece asking "wHy dO pRoFesSorS aLL vOtE foR DeMoCraTs?" It's a real mystery why more faculty don't back the party that's actively working to destroy them and their work.

This paper is titled with apologies to @joshchafetz.bsky.social's amazing work on the end of the legislative veto and corresponding loss of Congressional capacity. It's Chadha all the way down...

Is there a cleverer way that Ukraine could have hit back at Trump doing a dirty oil deal with Putin to help him with gas prices in the midterms than turning off the army of Russian propagandists posing as heartland Americans with concerns about trans socialists?

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

(Plus I needed to run by the DC Dills farmers' market stand to refill my supply of lemon bomb dill pickles, anyway!)

You convinced me! Just took it to the Eastern Market drop box.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.

Do we have any actual reason to think that ballots put in the mail, especially at this early date, won't be delivered?

Ok @votehub.com does have the vote history through L2 for Maine and about 1600 Dems who voted 0 or 1 time in the last three elections have voted already compared to 500 Republicans. Votehub (and I don't know how their model works they should explain it!) is now projecting a D+4 vs 2024 electorate.

ICYMI: Latino early voting is currently outpacing where it was at the same time in 2024 in RAW VOTE TOTALS, a new study finds. That's astounding. Turnout is usually much higher in presidential years.

This election will bury the Myth of Multiracial MAGA.

Barry Seid, last known for giving Leonard Leo an absurd amount of money, is apparently intentionally spreading nuts around Northern Chicago to create a rat infestatio?
