The right's evidence for a James Talarico mental breakdown debuted with a lot of fanfare this afternoon—and imploded immediately.

Warning… or enticement?

If this is being leaked to Fox News (which had not published a Guilfoyle story for years) then Guilfoyle is gone this week. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

In case you aren't knee-deep in the latest MAGA conspiracy theory, this is a response to the "bombshell" that James Talarico spent the past week-plus secretly seeking treatment at an Ohio mental health facility, and a GOP operative broke the case with a late-night phone call.

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

I love that the NFL’s virtual measurement takes longer than it took two old guys to bring out the chains.

Oh hell no. (Please don’t take this to mean that I am surprised. I’m not. Just disgusted.)

Years ago I wrote this essay, and the clamor for compromise and one-sided pandering marches on, and of course David Brooks is a standard-bearer in the parade. As Jamelle Bouie notes, what if they are Nazis?

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Sorry but it’s an order of magnitude dumber. The Giants were running the ball to gain a few more yards for their kicker, who was having an unsteady day. The Commies did know seem to know how much time was left or that they had no timeouts.

@dandrezner.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:37 PM

For years, New York Giants fans thought their team had to get better. It turns out that all that was needed was for the rest of the NFC East to devolve to our level.

Trying to deal with other stuff today so only vaguely following the news...do I have it correct that Ukraine took out the Russian data center that previously housed the NFC East's brains?
