Elon Musk’s PAC is running anti-lgbtq+ midterm ads on X. Not surprising but incredibly unsubtle

America PAC on X: image of a man in makeup captioned “URGENT ELECTION UPDATE: The crazy liberals are ready to show up in full force and vote this election. ARE YOU? We must DEFEAT them at the polls. Make your plan ASAP!”

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Anthropic is the latest lab to report 'rogue' agent activity, which sources said included applying for visas with the State Department www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

I missed that Glenn Greenwald has a paid partnership deal with Kalshi—but he does apparently

The point, of course, was to try to force Talarico off message in the final weeks and seed ugly things about him into public consciousness, even if they were totally made up. All I can figure is the polling inside the Paxton campaign must be *really* bad. What an ugly episode.

@jaredlholt.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 9:46 PM

MAGA influencers and federal officials spent the last 24hrs blasting "unconfirmed rumors" about why Talarico may have taken a week off the campaign trail after catching the flu. Some of it got really deranged and disgusting.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out he's fine.

ICYMI: The @openmeasures.io research crew sat down to lay out the sorts of risks we're seeing (and, just as importantly, not seeing) ahead of midterms so far. There are still many unknowns, but this hopefully gives a sense of where things sit at the moment.

This guy is one of civility cop Bari Weiss’ favorite intellectual dark web brain geniuses. Here he is calling the mayor of America’s largest city an “Islamic demon.”

The term of art we use on our show is “website personality” but man is he mad that people don’t consider spending 20 hours a day name-searching yourself on social media apps “journalism”

Michael Tracey on X: These little Student Reporter shitheads call me an "online commentator" rather than "journalist" because they think they're the guardians of Serious Journalism after they took a huckster lawyer's civil complaint at face value and named a bunch of guys as gang rapistsMichael Tracey on X: Renowned CNN journalist @robpicheta refers to me as an "online personality," claiming I have gravely endangered Jane Doe. Funny, CNN otherwise has no problem using my journalistic material as a source. But when I report on a litigant in a civil action, I'm an "online personality"

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.'
