Turkey legs were $25. Corny dogs were $8 each. Deep-fried Oreos were $14.

This year, The State Fair of Texas saw its lowest attendance since 2018, and a lot of Texans are blaming rising costs and tariffs.

...So Was It the Price of Turkey Legs? State Fair of Texas Attendance Dropped by 400,000

Texas State Fair attendance was the lowest since 2018. Many, including U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, pointed to rising costs.

Via @jayshams.bsky.social, Michael Wolff is suing Melania for SLAPP and demanding subpoenas, including of Trump.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

10. By her Threat Letter and this responsive Declaratory Action and related Anti-SLAPPDeclaratory Action, Mrs. Trump has given Wolff subpoena power which he intends toexercise fully and expeditiously. Since the statements at issue pertain to matters that largelyoccurred here in the NewYork City this action will call for and permit subpoenas to numerouswitnesses, most of them in NewYork. Subpoenas will go to those who frequented or who werepart of Epstein's circle, including Mr. Trump.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Sick. Depraved. Inhumane. Horrifying to know that these "people" are in charge of our government. This is what the rest of the world sees from us. And it's sick, depraved, inhumane and horrifying.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This piece is on the free side of the paywall, and I have to admit that writing it made me more sad than I could have imagined. The ugly destruction isn’t just to a building, but to memory, history, and American grace.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.

We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.
