HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"
How much creativity does it take to just promise to give out checks to everyone with money we don't have? I guess the "creative" part is explicitly tying it to an election result to make it a direct bribe. bsky.app/profile/atru...

They are in so deep they don't know what's true. They are begging us to stop them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company ... I think the government and the public needs to have a stake. And that's why we've supported regulation."
BREAKING WaPo: A federal judge just ruled that the Trump admin broke the law when it ordered a 50% cut in FEMA employees — including thousands of on-call workers who respond to disasters.
Federal judge rules Trump plan to cut FEMA by 50 percent was unlawful
The judge said the plan, put together by DHS, appeared as if it was "pulled from thin air" and would impede FEMA's ability to fulfill its legally mandated duty to respond to disasters.

Analyst: There's a real chance of history being made in Texas. The polling at this point is as good for Democrats as it has been at any point this century. This is potentially a real history maker as this seat has been held by a Republican this entire century.

Despite my challenged history w/ my FDNY 9/11 family -- FOR US, 9/11 went on for years & years. Not a single day. My brother & cousin died more than 10 years after that day. So, the "where were you on 9/11" question makes me want to shut out this day entirely... every year... as best I can. #trauma
Despite growing up in a very dysfunctional family, mine IS a 9/11 family. And so... I tend to go light on social media when the anniversary of 9/11 rolls around. Over the years, I found I HAD to. Then... every year, I am reminded of WHY... and I taper off as the day progresses. So many emotions.
In response to 9/11, Congress created the first unified internal federal law enforcement: the Department of Homeland Security. @rosenzweigp.bsky.social explores how DHS went from hunting al-Qaeda to hunting undocumented immigrants President Trump claims are “poisoning the blood of our nation.”

The Trump administration threatened Jimmy Kimmel's show for the second time. This time, because he held an interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, who's running against a lazy and corrupt candidate even Republicans don't like.

trump has to wait for the election to end the war apparently
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 4d agoIn his speech at the Republicans’ midterm convention, President Trump said that the war in Iran will end "very shortly" after Election Day.
Promoting an illegal war in the Middle East by fear mongering over weapons of mass destruction on the 9/11 anniversary is a little on the nose

Nice try, but if you run up huge deficits by exempting big corporations and billionaires from taxes, markets will react. People collectively worth trillions, and corporations worth tens of trillions, and corrupt Trump, pay virtually no taxes.
