After doing my best not to drive any more than necessary, it’s time to fill up my tank with fuel that’s ridiculously expensive because of the policies of Republicans led by Donald Trump, not because of drag queens, undocumented workers, women, minorities, or even transgender people. #FDT

Playbook: James Talarico raised a record-breaking $64 million this summer — the largest third-quarter haul of any Senate candidate in history, according to numbers shared first with Playbook.

Calls for expanding #SCOTUS are entirely (and increasingly) understandable.

But as today's "One First" explains, there are at least four difficult questions that those who support expansion should have to answer—especially as compared to other possible reforms:

www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-257-...

Screenshot from the post listing the four questions Court expansion proponents should have to answer:

1. How do we avoid touching off a race to the bottom, where each time one party controls the House, Senate, and presidency, it expands the Court to ensure an ideologically and politically sympathetic majority?

2. If a race to the bottom is unavoidable, how do we avoid further (and potentially fatal) erosion of public confidence in the Court—which will quite transparently be little more than a lever of power for whichever party last had such a trifecta?

3. If eroding public confidence in the Court is a feature, and not a bug, how do we insulate against the same erosion of public confidence in lower federal courts?

4. What is the case for why expansion is a better way to achieve the desired reforms than alternatives that would (or, at least, should) avoid many of these forward-looking concerns?

JD Vance and Mike Johnson’s closing argument seems to be “If Republicans don’t lose the House and Senate, we promise to ask Trump nicely to use lube as he continues to f*ck America in the a$$ for the next two years.”

What a horrible way to be reminded of why we need a vaccine to prevent measles in the first place.

Measles can attack multiple organs, including the brain.
There is no antiviral or other specific treatment.

Pediatricians are learning in realtime.

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.

Dear rest of the world,

If you want to know why the US elected Trump given all the things you know about him, the reason is that America has tens of millions of people as ignorant as this. We just aren't a very smart country as a whole. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think people need to make this comparison RIGHT NOW. Is Elon paying $300M to elect right wingers bc otherwise they'll denaturalize and deport him? Probably not, but if their voters learn he is, it might make the $$ creepy. [Tho I think people need to focus on the child porn Grok makes]

I had no idea how much Truth Social had hemorrhaged users.

Trump’s Truth Social faces a sharp decline in traffic
The platform averaged about 260,000 daily users last month, down from a peak of 420,000 in June 2025.

One thing I think few people really have the ability to do is SEE what the media environment looks like--the way @mattgertz.bsky.social or @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social do for Fox.

And that makes it really difficult to understand what voters are seeing right now.
