David Sedaris, on ridiculously unserious people (I'm editorializing):

Nope. "Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Anthropic Agents Tried to Fill Out Visa Forms on State Dept. Website

The Philadelphia Police Department said the agents had also sent in a false homicide tip. The incidents led the White House to call for better disclosure of rogue A.I. behavior.

Warrantless stops and violent roving patrols by masked federal agents across California, especially the Central Valley, have been terrorizing farm workers for the past 5 days. The chaos is escalating. full statement: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

These farm workers are not criminals. These are hard-working, long term members of our communities, being unlawfully and violently targeted simply for looking Latino and working class. The reckless and chaotic tactics being used are a danger to public safety and in clear violation of the law.

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Curtis Flowers' murder convictions in 2019 due to claims of bias in the makeup of the jury. The court found Mississippi had tried to exclude 36 Black prospective jurors in the first four trials. buff.ly/f2go6Mm

And I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the US Congresswoman from the great state of South Carolina, Nancy Mace!

If you are more upset about gender-neutral restrooms than you are about seven men raping an incapacitated woman, the Republican Party may be right for you.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

This is worrying news. But anxiety is not a strategy. Join @indivisible.org's midterm election protection program to help make sure we're ready for whatever tricks Trump tries to hold on to power. indivisible.org/campaigns/ou...

“Upon careful analysis, it’s clear our organization is going to bungle messaging in late October, costing us many key races across the nation.” — Ken Martin, DNC chair

This is amazing. I wish I lived in a place where everyone knows and agrees that he’s a scourge.

Danish artist Jens Galschiøt unveiled a sculpture depicting a naked US President Donald Trump surrounded by golf equipment. It was unveiled on the grounds of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg.

I think Mar A Lago would send a much better message than Los Angeles. It would be a small price to pay to bring sanity back to our Nation.

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict who spent decades attacking little girls w/his BFF Jeffrey Epstein while laundering money for Russian mob ask Iran to nuke LA & San Diego to help MAGA midterms while a bunch of cornhusk crackers cheered before?

James Talarico slicing through a Fox News host’s gerrymandering spin is something to see. No shouting, no theatrics — just a sword of truth. Truth rules the room. No wonder Trump tries to keep him off cable news 😆 @jamestalarico.bsky.social #Blues youtube.com/shorts/H_XGe...

Here is Megyn Kelly, telling the world that Jane Doe was lucky she got to be raped by seven men and she should be grateful.

The reckoning is here…

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Photographer: ok. You two hold hands, & you, in the back, hold a gun to that guy’s head. Nice. I’ll add blush in post.

Tomorrow I will post cartoons from Politico.

So Jimmy Kimmel had his wife parody Natalie Harp on his show. She played his unhinged assistant. It was as ridiculously funny as you might imagine.😅

These women are clearly in a cult. They’re not smart. They’ve been fed lie after lie by Trump, his acolytes, the media and their neighbors. They have no fear or shame about speaking publicly their sick, perverted views. If their cult wasn’t so hateful, I’d feel sorry for them.

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

Here's a man 'splainin' rape to another man. You're gonna want to watch this.

Voter registration deadlines are SUNDAY in Alaska, Rhode Island, South Carolina. And MONDAY in: Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and *Texas*. If you live in these states, verify your registration now, literally.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.
