Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

When I look at Washington, I see a crisis of integrity, a refusal to take accountability, and a failure to lead under pressure.

Integrity, performing under pressure, and accountability is precisely what being a Nuclear Plant Supervisor in the Navy taught me.

Now that Trump has delegated his preposterous politicking for a Nobel Peace Prize to sycophants, he can finally get around to declaring unilateral war on Venezuela, a war crime, as he murders Colombian civilians at sea, another war crime, and endorses collective punishment in Gaza, another war crime

Jeffries: "Domestic violence is a serious issue in this country for women all throughout America. And the notion that House Republican leaders would dismiss the seriousness of what is clearly emerging as an untenable and frightening situation relative to Rep. Mills is irresponsible."

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

BREAKING: A federal judge just temporarily blocked the Trump admin's plans to lay off thousands of federal workers during the government shutdown — siding with unions, which have argued that the dismissals were illegal.

10/15/25 9:20am Update:
It's official! Our first measurable snowfall happened. We had 7.3" (18.5 cm) of #snow accumulation at our measurement this morning.

It looks like we're done with snow for at least the next 10 days but we'll be watching the forecast excitedly.

Per BBG Macro Squawk - some dingus on Twitter posted an unattributed claim that the US was going to raise tariffs on China to 500% driving some equity selling. Nothing huge, 17 bps in 8 minutes. (bad website)
