Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Show’s in Philly, which means I can’t go to my local #nokings protest and make it.

Obviously I’m not going to miss it so I’m gonna attend a random protest somewhere in New Jersey.

"The tables will turn one day," @govpritzker.illinois.gov said. "These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump admin because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

When I covered the WTO ministerial in Honk Kong there was a scandal when Chinese cops unleashed a cloud of tear gas that covered half of Wan Chai and caught up a bunch of bystanders.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

Today I learned that Police Academy Mission to Moscow was filmed during the 1993 constitutional crisis while Moscow was under Marshall law with the explicit approval of the office of Boris Yeltsin. Remind me again, how history is boring. 🤔

Why in the world would I want to see an animated image of Marilyn Monroe in GoT?!?

The one thing I might use this planet-destroying tech for is looking shit up and it can’t do that.
