I do think the best path forward for trans rights is an absolutely crushing defeat for Rs in november, after which everyone relentlessly points out that transphobia was an utter electoral failure.

Maj. Sorffly Davius — NYPD officer, father of 6 — died in Kuwait in March during combat ops.

For 6 months, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon refused to count him among the war dead. Last week, they finally admitted the truth theintercept.com/2026/10/12/i...

The #Sabres were down 4-2 in the 3rd period in Toronto. But they’ve taken the #Leafs to OT!

Buffalo’s Jack Quinn earned the Gordie Howe Hat Trick with a goal, assist, and a fight. Toronto’s Marchenko scored an actual hat trick. Quite a game!

CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? Alabama Republican lawmakers have gone silent after one of their own Rep. Brett Easterbrook was arrested for attempting to solicit sex from an underage prostitute.

Sure does remind us of the TNGOP with Rep. David Byrd.

While the far right was inventing conspiracy theories that James Talarico snuck off to an Ohio mental health facility, Talarico raised $64 million of mostly small-dollar donations.

James Talarico announces record-breaking $64M haul
With the largest third-quarter Senate fundraising ever, Talarico’s campaign has now raised more than $134 million.

Texas Democrat James Talarico raised a staggering $64 million this summer — the largest third-quarter haul of any Senate candidate in history.

The national Democratic darling raised more than $134.3 million since launching his campaign in September of 2025, according to figures shared first with POLITICO. More than 1.3 million donors contributed, the campaign said, as Democrats slowly reconcile themselves to their long-held but often fumbled dream of gaining a statewide perch in Texas. About 97% of those donations were of $100 or less.

I refer you to my earlier statements using objective logic and reasoning, eyes and ears: He is a demented malignant narcissist and it is far beyond time where we should just say this and call it what it is instead of couching it in anything other than unvarnished truth of HIS ACTIONS. On principle.

Genuine question for the political scientists, bc my quick effort at googling this wasn't informative: What is the marginal value of additional ad buys at this point? Have to feel it is heading towards zero? And I assume that's Elon's focus more than GOTV? Or am I wrong about that?

@hanspetermeyer @pippa @hnom As a #Sabres fan, I have to say the Habs thoroughly outplayed them earlier this week. Buffalo definitely stole a point with some puck luck.

I wonder if Buffalo will improve their level of play for the Saturday rematch… 🤔

It’s an absurd claim. I’ve never asked for one cent to be sent somewhere else pretending it was for the Kennedy Center and I’ve never received any payment from him at all. Make him give proof to what he is saying, not make these absurd allegations.
