I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

elizabeth may saying she can vote for the budget because mark carney said he’s committed to the paris climate targets even as he guts climate policy and pushes a wave of massive fossil fuel projects is laughable.

the longer she stays, the more of a laughing stock the green party becomes.

Marc Andreesen,🥚, picked a fight with *the Pope* over a pretty basic call to exercise discernment when building AI.

Marc truly believes that any constraint on anything he does is fundamentally illegitimate.

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.
Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

I saw a short viral video from the Free Press that was pushing climate change misinfo and it bugged me enough that I wrote a whole post going through a few of the graphs and debunking them. I wrote this partly as a personal exercise but might be interesting to those who follow climate stuff.

In Defence of Climate Alarmism
Fresh off their purchase by Paramount, The Free Press is pushing climate change skepticism in slick social media videos made to go viral.

I keep oscillating between thinking that 1. America is an irredeemably messed up country because his approval has been kind of steady around 40%.

and

2. He is a historically unpopular president who is going further and further underwater. I’ll be back to number 1 by the next NYT poll
Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

The myth that there are "hundreds of thousands" of vacant units wasn't true when local NIMBYs said it in 2024 and it's not true when the Attorney General of Ontario says it today. Tenants shouldn't have their rights weakened because of the Ford government's failure to build.

CNN is now reporting over 7 million people joined the #nokings protest which would definitely make it one of if not the biggest single day protests in the last 50 years. And this is the top story on the NYT…

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants
Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

I think Doug Ford benefits a lot from his Queen's Park opposition always tending to assume that his populist instincts are correct, and so they water down their criticism with too much nuance and hedging. He doesn't always know what voters want — sometimes it's just personal grievance.

Albanian PM Edi Rama mocked Trump to Macron: “You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan”

Earlier Trump claimed he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan. It was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
